Ted and Shahira got married on a beautiful day at the Fairmont up in Sonoma. The vibes of their friends and family members was just amazing to be a part of. It’s obviously still hard work photographing big and intimate events, but when you really feel the love surrounding a couple on their special day, you just kind of float through the day with ease. Check out the awesome love of T & S.
Alon & Dave’s beautiful love came together at a wedding in San Francisco’s majestic city hall. They even brought probably one of the coolest dogs ever in their chihuahua named Henry. In the middle of the ceremony some bureaucrat interrupted them and their County Clerk commissioner because they had their dog, that individual even called the sheriffs to intervene. It was pretty wild, and we all had a pretty good laugh about it. At any rate, the vibes were upbeat and we went out to Point Lobos and Sutro Baths for some portrait fun after the deed was done. Had an absolute blast with these dudes (and dog). Check out our adventure and the awesome photos we made together below.
Alex and Joey got married The Clift Royale Senestra Hotel in San Francisco. It was a sweet natured affair with lots of fun. It is always beautiful to be surrounded by that loving energy. Their ceremony took place on the top floor. Awesome portraits were had out on the balcony overlooking a vast expanse of San Francisco, with a little fog coming in from the west. My wife was a champ in being there to pick us up after the ceremony, so we didn’t have to mess around with an uber/lyft, in going for a quick and efficient portrait session at Huntington Park, atop Nob Hill. Later the reception was back at the hotel. A touching reel of the couple as kids played for the party, and I’m not going to lie to you - I shed a tear. Their deejay was spinning vinyl and had impeccable taste and kept the grooves and the people going. It was really a treat to get to document their special day.
Seena and Tracey got married at San Francisco City Hall. Beforehand Seena got ready at their place in the Marina district; while Tracey set up shop at the Ritz Carlton. Everything was easy going, fun, with love emanating. Friends and family all came together later at city hall for super sweet wedding officiated by a good friend. They did their reception that evening at the hip Monroe SF. DJ Primo Pitino manned the turntables; bringing the crowd to the dance floor with his beautiful ear for music and fog machine. A lovely day.

Steph and Kol and all of their special people came together for a lovely wedding in Alamo, California.
It’s always a beautiful thing being a part of these intimate weddings and Jia and Viv’s Alameda County Clerk’s office elopement in Oakland was no exception. After the ceremony we headed on a mini adventure around Lake Merritt. The sweet and playful love of these two cuties shines through.
Martina and Geoff’s wedding in Santa Barbara was hot with weather and warm with love. Their special people came from all over to help celebrate this fun and sweetness tinged day and night. It’s always a blessing to be able to get intimate proximity to these types of affairs that are filled with momentous and sublime moments of life happening around you and this special day was jam packed with them. Enjoy the fun, love and smiles below the fold.
San Francisco City Hall is a magical place that is always humming during business hours with the people’s work. It also has a continuous flow of tourists soaking in all of it’s architectural grandiosity, with an added spark of lovers eloping or having small weddings with friends and family. It’s a beautiful energy. Had a lovely time with Mais and Ashley as they got the full City Hall wedding treatment with these fun and adorable portraits, a great judge that added depth and wisdom to the ceremony, with their best friends at their side. Adding to this singular happening was a group of sightseers, straight off of the tour bus, gazing and adding their love and encouragement to the newly weds. It was amazing. Check it out.
Jennie & Josh eloped in Oakland city hall. They lucked out with a solid officiant that had a wonderful presence and dropped some nice wisdom about relationships. Who doesn’t need that!? The two mom’s flew out to take part in their special day as well and were giddy with how they had both lucked out. After the ceremony we went on a little adventure for portraits around Lake Merritt, Grand Lake Theatre and ending up things Sequoia Bayview Trail in Joaquin Miller Park. I got to see the couple’s awesome dance moves, eagerness to have fun and their burgeoning love.
