Wedding at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga

Kai and Sara were married in April at The Mountain Winery located in Saratoga, CA. What a spectacular venue! The panoramic views from the top of the mountain are awesome!

The Wild Geranium did a wonderful job on all the floral arrangements.

The girls were a bit chilly as the wind picked up toward the evening. However, there was one very savvy bridesmaid who wore tights under her dress to chase away the chill!

The little flower girls were all so cute and a bit shy. So I had fun trying to draw them out for pictures!

I love this old building!!

Kai and Sara had their own beer brewed and labeled just for the wedding!

We had the winery van drive us around to a few different locations for some fun pictures!


The cake made by Margeret's French Bakery was super fresh and moist!


Two very sleepy flower girls!

Congrats Kai and Sara!

Wedding at Dolce Salon in Peoria, AZ

James and Jill were the winners of my Love Story Contest. I photographed their wedding in February at Dolce Salon and Spa in Peoria. Not only did I get to photograph a totally cute couple but at a really neat location!

Dolce is a small venue that is located above their salon. They have the funnest wallpapers in the bridal room! They also have fabulous chandeliers sprinkled through out the venue.

James and Jill kept their wedding very simple but yet elegant. They concentrated on a relaxed evening of celebration with friends and family.

Who doesn't like hot fudge! What a great favor idea!


First Glance moments are so much fun to watch.

The wall paper in the "getting ready room" is just super fun! The side terrace also made for a romantic little spot for some great image opportunities!

Jill and her makeup artist friend Krysten lighten the mood just before the ceremony and my favorite ring shot.

Ceremony Time!

I love the fun little chandeliers! The relaxed mood of the evening always makes for some great images.

Wedding Images at Stanford - Part 1

My friend Carol got married in January. I shot their wedding as my gift to them which was super fun since Carol is such a great model! I only have half the wedding edited (I've been busy working on a few other things) but thought I should post some of the fabulous pictures we took at Stanford.

Robert and Carol met on a tour bus in Greece. It's a very sweet and romantic story that I started following when Carol returned from her trip abroad about a year and half ago.
His family flew over from London for the wedding which was on a freezing cold, but rain free day in January. I felt so mean every time I had to ask Carol to part with her coat so we could get some more images. It was so cold that day but her dress had to be shown off!

We met the groom and his family at Stanford so that if it did rain we could use the covered outdoor corridors to shoot the family images.

Here are some of my favorites.
