Anna + Cameron | Ocean Song Farm, Occidental | SF Bay Area Wedding Photography

This magical wedding was set amidst the beautiful oak trees and sunflower gardens at Ocean Song Farm in the coastal hills of Occidental.  The rustic charm was the perfect backdrop for Anna and Cameron’s vintage decorations and antebellum style.  Anna looked like she stepped right out of an old daguerreotype photograph.  She fashioned her dress herself and styled it with an exquisite heirloom cameo of her grandmothers. So beautiful!  The mood was full of fun and laughter, good friends and good food.  At the end of the night they were serenaded by the Port City Jazz Band that plays great New Orleans style jazz and we were even visited by the local skunk and a family of  foxes!  Congrats to this wonderful couple!

Bertina & Carey {Engaged} | San Francisco Engagement Photography

Recipe for a fun and over the top cute engagement photo session:  An adorable and stylish couple in love (check), cheerful yellow bow tie (check),  giant lollipop (check), silly mustaches (check) and a darling pup (check) all set in classic San Francisco locations at the Palace of Fine Arts and the Presidio .  Engagement photography can be so much fun it’s ridiculous.  I love how this session came together and can’t wait to capture their upcoming wedding at  Murrieta’s Well, a lovely countryside venue in Livermore complete with vineyards and a charming barn.  We’ll see if they’ve decided to continue the mustache theme…

Hattie and Stephen | Brazilian Room, Berkeley | SF Bay Area Wedding Photography

What a wonderful coming together of these two warm and lovely people and their Irish and Chinese cultures.  The view from the Brazilian Room in Berkeley provided such a gorgeous misty backdrop to the ceremony which certainly felt a lot like Ireland.  Stand out elements were the raucous and lively lion dance and Hattie’s stunning green dress.  It was such an honor to capture their special day and the amazing love they have for each other.  Congratulations!

On the floating shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving into your eyes
Hear me sing, “Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you”
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
~
This Mortal Coil
Song to the Siren

Paola & Greg {engaged} | SF Bay Area Engagement Photography

Oooh did we have fun creating pictures for this session! Berkeley unfolded her magic and provided the perfect backdrop with these wonderful locations.  I just couldn’t have been happier with how they framed Paola and Greg’s style and spontaneity.  It’s easy to see that this couple brings the party wherever they go and I loved capturing their infectious  espiritu festivo.  No doubt the upcoming wedding will have the same spicy,  joyful flavor.   Felicitaciones!
