Samantha and Hamilton’s wedding at the Sonoma Garden Pavilion was rocking. There are lots of venues in Sonoma. It is not surprising that I had never heard of the Sonoma Garden Pavilion. It is a little gem of a place just a few miles out of town. The grounds there are beautiful, and the architecture…
Here is a jovial Jewish Mountain Terrace wedding, that I will remember for a long time. The Mountain Terrace is right across the street from Alice’s Restaurant in Woodside. Alice’s is a total scene. There are people with Harley’s and Lamborghinis meeting up for a bite and a drink before hitting the winding roads. The…
Large biceps, cowboy boots, colorful dresses, and a lot of love and laughter abounded at Scott and Julie’s ranch wedding in Napa. My good friend and fellow wedding photographer, Hardy Wilson, offered up his family’s ranch for the wedding. The ranch is on something like 1,000 acres. It is covered with oak trees, a winding…
Cara and Mahesh embraced their friends, family, and community with love at their Piedmont Community Hall wedding. They have been together for over 10 years. The exact number of years seemed to vary depending on who was recounting it. When we arrived their friends were making flower arrangements, setting up, and blasting tunes on an…
Priya and Eli had a rather non traditional cross cultural wedding at Ramekins Culinary School in Sonoma. There was no first dance, or cake cutting, or wedding party, and they got ready in the same room together. I was so stoked to be apart of Priya and Eli’s celebration. Their friends and family had a…
Bijal and Sujal has an Indian wedding at the San Francisco Palace of Fine Art, and reception at the Palace Hotel. I photographed Bijal and Sujal’s rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding… at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. I have to admit, that walking into the Exploratorium filled me with such excitement, that it…
Sarah and Liam had a sweet Pizzaiolo wedding in Oakland. The food and environment at Pizzaiolo demand a certain degree of chill. The cocktail “hour” melts into dinner. Dinner is a multi course leisurely affair. There were speeches, toasts, and lots of killer deserts. People danced and ate and drank. The weddings I have shot…
Rachel and John had a super fun Hans Fahden Winery wedding in Calistoga. According to the very nice gentleman who gave me a tour of the property, it has some of the only caves in the area, which are tunneled into million year old volcanic ash. Who knew. The staff at Hans Fahden was so…
Miriam and Babak’s Piedmont Community Hall wedding was full of laughter, music, singing, and great dancing. Their community, friends, and families came together to create an energetic and vibrant Thursday wedding. The Piedmont Community Hall is a great low key venue. There are tons of trees around it, and it is very centrally located. My…
Kate and Richard had a gorgeous private estate wedding in the Pope Valley. The property has organic gardens, vineyards, and olive orchards. The dance party was held in the ruins of an old building. Kate’s family owns Clif Bar, which is about the coolest privately owned company ever. It is not surprising that their wedding…
