Adriana and Tim Engaged


Adriana and Tim both come from places that begin with the letter "I" - she's from Indonesia; he's from Iowa. Despite growing up halfway around the world from one another, they fit together perfectly.



For their engagement photo session, we decided to head to the path along the coast where they had their first date.



Tim recalls that Adriana set such an ambitious pace that it was tough to keep up. He did his best to catch his breath to comment on the beautiful view. Adriana, however, got straight to the point, peppering Tim with intense questions throughout. As we took these photographs, Adriana and Tim laughed at the memory.

Adriana may have seemed intimidating, but as Tim later said, "I guess my answers were acceptable -just don't ask me exactly what I said - I was concentrating too much on the hike."


They must have been pretty good answers, actually, because look where Adriana and Tim are now! Nice work, Tim!

Thanks you two. I can't wait for your upcoming wedding!

...wow.



When I met these two, I knew we were going to have an amazing session.



And when told me they were interested in doing their engagement photos in an industrial area, I knew just the place.



I could not be more pleased with what we created.



Congratulations Judy and John. Here's to a love beautiful and eternal.

Kim and Carl's Wedding, Meadowood

Now that you've had a chance to hear Kim and Carl's amazing love story, I hope that you will appreciate these photos of their gorgeous wedding even more.



First, Kim, looking just as spectacular as she did in that magenta taffeta prom dress in 1982 (and, amazingly, hardly a day older!)


Kim taking one last moment to review the vows she wrote for Carl.



Kim's amazing bouquet of blue roses, created by Cristina Cejuda.



If you've ever spent time with Kim and Carl, you know that this is exactly the way they gaze into each other's eyes all the time.



Twenty-eight years (!!) after they fell in love and Kim predicted their marriage in her teenage diary, Kim and Carl finally tie the knot.


True romance.



Kim and Carl: meant to be.

Location: Meadowood

Flowers: Cristina Cejuda

DJ: Starsounds Productions

Janey and Jason Engaged

I first had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Janey when she was a bridesmaid in a beautiful wedding I photographed last fall.


When I found out she was planning her own wedding and wanted me to photograph it, I was delighted. Not only are Janey and her fiance Jason super photogenic, they are super nice.




The three of us spent a gorgeous afternoon in San Francisco recently and captured these and other amazing photographs.

This one holds particular significance, as Janey and Jason used to live on Lyon Street.




These bridge photos were based on an image Janey had long dreamed of, and that we set out to capture. We plan to do even more on the wedding day.



Their wedding, at the beautiful Golden Gate Club , is just around the corner so stay tuned for more amazing pix. Congratulations Janey and Jason - I am so excited!
