Drew+Danielle's Wedding, Allied Arts Guild-Menlo Park CA

When Drew + Danielle found the Allied Arts Guild located in Menlo Park- they just knew it was the perfect location for their wedding! The Guild is rich in architectural details and offers beautifully maintained gardens and a staff that is truly dedicated. As a result it was an ideal setting for their guest to witness their union .

With their easy going and fun spirited nature, Drew and Danielle were a joy to work with. Drew and Danielle's personalities truly reflected how stunning they both looked and just an amazing day was had by all.

Loved all of the amazing color and details that went into their wedding. Their table settings were elegant and simple ...beautiful flowers and fruits were placed about and really made everything pop with color + fresh vibrance! Here are a few of my favs..enjoy














Eric+ Erin Tie the Knot, Peachwoods, Santa Cruz CA

Wow ..what can I say about Eric and Erin....two of the most real, sincere and caring people I have met. I am always impressed when you meet people for the first time and you walk away feeling like you really know them-well that's Erin and Eric.

Seeing the two of them together..um well it is like they just fell in love- they just adore each other and is the sweetest thing ever!!

Their guest gathered at Peachwoods located in Santa Cruz to witness their union where a family member performed their ceremony. ( I always love this..makes it so personal). Their reception followed immediately after,there was not a dry eye in the house during Erin's dance with her Dad. (yes, that includes me too)! It was a super duper day with an amazing cast of characters! Thanks you guys for allowing me to share in all of your special moments!

Thanks to Brian Bishop of Brian Bishop photography for all of his help as our second shooter for the day- he did an amazing job and was a true pleasure to work with- see below of some of his images he capture of the boys getting ready!

Aarti + Christian's Wedding Hayes Mansion San Jose CA


Guest travel worldwide to attend the beautiful wedding of Aarti and Christian held at the Hayes Mansion located in San Jose CA. Upon meeting Aarti and her family, I knew instantly that I wanted to work with her. She is a beautiful and kind person filled with so much warmth. I had not met Christian until the day of their wedding and I could see how they made the perfect couple! It was great to see them so happy and enjoying themselves throughout their day!

I was so touched by their 1/2 Indian and 1/2 western ceremony. Honestly, I don't often listen only because i get distracted easily and can get too caught up in the emotion of it all...and don't want to miss any moments.. i know.... I am a sap...However, their ceremony was so unique, funny and symbolic I could not help myself.

Probably the most lively dance floor ..i have ever seen at a wedding. I am not kidding...when I say it..no one was left behind it was great!! Aarti and Christian are truly surrounded by some great friends and family and wish them both the best!!













John and Janette chose to tie the knot at the beautiful Ardenwood Farms located in Fremont. A real working farm just beautiful and the perfect setting- complete with a historic home, beautiful grounds that are a mix of both elegant and rustic charm. Maxine Goulding provided the event planning services of California Special Occasions She was fantastic to work with and did such an amazing job!!

Sharing the day with John and Janette was nothing short of fantastic- their easy going nature and sense of humor and love for one another was a privilege to witness! They shared their union amongst their friends and family and were just beaming all day! Not an easy task..since we hit triple digits on their wedding day. enjoy!
