Kate and Simon had a morning wedding ceremony at the Chapel in Mill’s College, and their reception at the District restaurant in Old Oakland. There are all sorts of couples out there.

There are lots of other things that I enjoy about photographing weddings, but being around great people is a big one. I recently had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of a local florist – Natalie from Belle Flower. Natalie and her now husband Ron wanted to do something mellow, small, and personal. On…
This was my first time shooting a Point Bonita Lighthouse wedding. It is perched on the edge of the coast overlooking the Pacific. The Lighthouse is in the Marin Headlands, and has a great view of San Francisco. This spot is so stunning. EJ and Tim were wonderfully sweet. There were 13 people at this…

Sarah and Jordan had an intimate Jewish wedding ceremony at the Redwood Grove at the Berkeley Botanical Garden, and then walked across the street for their reception. They are super sincerely, happy, genuine people. They served pie, and put on a great party at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden.

Both places are run by volunteers, and they both put on seasonal events. They are funky and charming. If you are looking for an affordable spot…
