Samantha + Cristina: Bodega Bay Elopement

Sometimes, all you need is a handful of your closest friends and a stunning view to get married – and that’s exactly what Samantha and Cristina chose for their Bodega Bay micro wedding. After getting ready at the Airbnb they were staying at with many of their guests, these gorgeous brides tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at a lookout point on a coastal cliff side. With a close friend officiating, they exchanged poetic vows – Cristina’s including an actual poem that she wrote just for her sweetheart on their wedding day. The two celebrated with their friends and immediate family at a nearby restaurant that they rented out to finish the day, where several of their guests gave toasts expressing their love and support for these women and their marriage. It was an honor to witness, and a delight to capture this day – many thanks and best wishes to these brides!

Claudia + Freddy: Legion of Honor + Palace of Fine Arts Engagement

My first visit to the majestic Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco was for this elegant and sophisticated engagement shoot with Claudia and Freddy. Their choice of outfits, sleek and all-black, made them really pop against the off-white walls and pillars of the building.

We switched gears and went for a more playful and casual vibe for their second photo location: the Palace of Fine Arts. We wandered around the park after the sun had fallen behind the structure, which gave us some soft dreamy light, and included their puppy in a few shots for some extra fun! Photographing this beautiful, effortless couple was an honor and showcasing the city’s gorgeous architecture made it even better.
