its always a bit nerve wracking shooting in an unknown location. this San Fransisco day couldn’t have been any prettier though shedding gorgeous soft light around every corner making my job really easy. Add to that that John and Eileen are playful together and easy in front of the camera and I was instantly comfortable. this first shot is one of the very first out of the camera – I was in for a real San Fransisco treat! So looking forward to your wedding in September!
Im really starting to think that there is something to this E Harmony business… we have had a handful of couples that have been set up that way and they have been some of my favorites!! Tom and Tracy could be a poster story for them (maybe I should send in some of these images for their PR!), they are a perfect fit. Tom is funny and Tracy has an amazing laugh- a great combo- and they both are so sweet and thoughtful towards each other. Tracy is someone who you can hear smiling ear to ear even over the phone and she was so enthusiastic about her wedding and her shoot- it was contagious! We did this shoot in Montecito a week before their wedding, so check back soon for that!
Part two. I really like these two, was happy to meet up with them again for some shots around good ol’ SLO. Bo and Britt met at a Eddie Money concert at Downtown Brew, so we started there… the rest is history :)
After spending an evening unsuccesfully getting up the courage to talk to Brittney at an Eddie Money concert in downtown San Luis Obispo, Bo finally came up to her and announced, “I’m going to get you to like me.” And he did. And in 7 months they are going to make it official and tie the know at one of my favorite venues, Santa Margarita Ranch. They planned a whole picnic for their engagement shoot on Terrace Hill, overlooking San Luis Obispo. Between all the fun props they setup and their great wardrobe and comfortability in front of the camera, all I had to do was show up and make sure I took my lens cap off!
i have been rooting for these two love birds for a while and so am really excited to share these snap shots. brooke was my roommate and best friend through out college. she was a back east girl to the bone, an entirely new level of femininity that I had never encountered in my california upbringing. we couldn’t have been more different but were instant friends when we met in the dorms. over our four years together, we saw each other through our fair share of romantic escapades and disasters coming home after dates and bearing all. she is all pink, pearls, pencil skirts on the outside, but brooke is a strong woman who has both style and smarts. quite the uncatchable catch. When troy came into the picture, we all knew brooke had met her match. he was smart, funny, charming, and sharp as a tac but had an extra super power up his sleeve that was going to be necessary to win brooke over… persistence and determination :) I am so excited for both of them and was more than happy to get a couple shots of them and of troy doing what he does best, making brooke laugh.
Kelli waited patiently for months throwing out hints to Dallin that she wanted to transition their friendship into dating. She was sure he must have noticed and just wasn’t interested. Classic boy though, he had no idea. It all worked out for the best though. I remember seeing them when they first started dating. They were so adorably affectionate and flirty. I got out of touch until they called me about engagement picts. It was amazing to see that they still had that same level of enthusiasm about being together. Friends make the best couples, don’t you agree?
these two just work. and it was a pleasure to work with them. their baby gus is the cutest to boot! I shot their wedding last weekend and am itching to get to it :) 
I had such a great afternoon meeting David and Jenn down in Malibu. They are such a relaxed couple and such a great match for eachother :) The best part, is that their wedding is only a couple days away!
