I cannot wait for Lauren & Ross’ wedding in October!!! Besides being beautiful & super easy to photograph, these two are just incredibly fun to be around! We had a blast at their engagement session – in spite of the many challenges around construction, boot camp classes (including one very pregnant woman working it out on the Lion Street Stairs – so impressive!), and of course some good ole San Francisco freezing summer wind! These two smiled the whole way through, and Lauren’s got one of those infectious smiles that simply makes you feel happy – so good! Now to top all of that, they are getting married at Beaulieu Gardens next month, which may be one of the prettiest wedding locations I’ve ever seen. When we went through their wedding walkthrough, I kept wishing I could just live there! I guess I’ll have to settle for photographing what is sure to be an amazing & beautiful wedding day – and that’s all good by me!

Here are a few favorites from Lauren & Ross’ session or view more in their slideshow!

Lauren & Ross, thank you so much for inviting me to capture your engagement session & wedding – I can’t wait!!!

I was so excited when Angie told me she had been scouting out locations for her engagement session and had stumbled across a rustic barn in Half Moon Bay. Taken with it, she asked the owner for permission for us to shoot there.  It was a seriously fabulous and fun location to shoot!  The colors of the sunburnt hills, the rustic wood of the barn and surrounding fence, perfectly meshed with the glowing, setting sun.  It was so hard to narrow down my favorites!

After the sun dropped, we jumped back in Greg’s truck and headed to the coast so we could grab some beach shots and incorporate Greg’s surfboard.  It was actually pretty dark when we started shooting, but just enough ambient light and my handy dandy video light to help pop the scene.  I love the lavender and pink shades the lighting brought out in the sky.

I’m sooooooo looking forward to Angie & Greg’s wedding next year at Church of the Nativity and Family Farm.  These two are so in love & so much fun to be around.  I feel like I can’t take credit for the shots – they are just too easy to photograph!

Here are some faves from the session & for even more, view their slideshow!

My stomach hurt from giggling after I finished my session with Lesley & Needham.  These two are so much fun!  I can’t wait to capture their wedding day at the beautiful Brazilian Room at Tilden Park!

Needham called me at the beginning of the year about their wedding, as we’d worked together when I photographed his friend’s Alisa & Jonathan’s wedding in 2007, where he was a groomsmen.  Needham, by the way, has probably the world’s record on being in weddings… so far, he’s been in 19, and his own wedding will make it 20!!!!   Now that’s a lot of suits!!!  Didn’t they make a movie about that?!

Here are some favorites from the session – enjoy!

Lesley & Needham, thanks for such a fun time & looking forward to your beautiful wedding day!!!
