I was originally supposed to be in Los Angeles this whole week for work since I had a wedding in Malibu last Saturday and one in Santa Monica this Saturday but we birthed a house and I missed it very very much so I came home! Seriously, it really does sort of feel like our baby. More on that when things slow down Starting next Thursday I am officially on summer vacation for 6 glorious days where I am hoping to turn my computer on once a day! Until then, I’m going to try to churn out some substantial blog posts…

Melody and Steve were SUCH an amazing couple to photograph. They showed up to our shoot with no reservations at all- camera ready and super in love. We played around downtown and then headed out to Alviso for some sweet sunset light. Can’t wait for their downtown wedding next month! (PS their engagement session is one of the featured sessions on my main sites engagement galleries.)

Onward!

Oh my, if we want to move we have to SELL THIS PLACE. Crazy …. crazy, crazy! While I was busy shooting two beautiful weddings this past weekend Tim and a handful of *kind* friends and family helped us move into our new home. We’re in a shambles but blissful- can’t believe we managed to pull this off but are so thankful and excited for all the fun, stressful, expensive, daunting, back-breaking- yet fulfilling tasks ahead of us!

There she is! The yard has a ways to go before it looks like THAT again- but we’re working on it!

Less talk- more work is my motto these days! Onward to images…. shall we?

Jillian and Dennis tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii earlier this year but wanted some fun engagement photos before they headed off to get hitched. I met up with them at Crissy Field and spent a lovely San Francisco afternoon documenting their love.  Enjoy!

Confession: Cathy and Mike are already married!!! I will be following up this post tomorrow with their beautiful wedding images but I wanted to share their adorable laughter filled Los Gatos engagement session with you first.

PS WE OFFICIALLY OWN A HOUSE! I am scrambling trying to remain 100% sane for my brides and grooms so forgive me if I am more quiet than usual. You can be guaranteed when things slow down I’ll have MUCH to say. xoxo

This is how things are going to go this year I guess- Stephanie and Abid are tying the knot at Mission Santa Clara this coming Saturday- as in, tomorrow, and I *really* wanted to share their engagement images before they walk down the aisle Stephanie and Abid chose to start their engagement session at a boating club in Sausalito- it was here where Abid popped the question so the location had some really special meaning for them. Love it when clients personalize their locations! These two are absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to see how gorgeous they look in wedding attire.

In other news…. we signed a whooole bunch of papers for our NEW house this week. More on that when I climb out of the sea I am drowning in.

Katie + Alex are tying the knot this weekend so I wanted to get their engagement pics up to share with you guys! Katie and I went to high school together and I am so excited to be shooting her wedding to Alex … it was pouring down rain on the day of their engagement session and we were fighting with a rapidly setting sun but since they were in from out of town we did our best to make it work and make it work we did! I’ll write more about how much I love this girl in the post that will contain her wedding images – for now, I am in full recovery mode from Kentucky so…. onward!
