Reception: Sir Francis Drake Hotel
Hair & Makeup: Armando Sarabia of Get Your Do Up

Marianne looked absolutely stunning in her gorgeous Jin Wang gown.  We made a little extra time the morning of her wedding to go out and do a special bridal portrait session on the streets of San Francisco.  It was amazing.  I never get the luxury of spending an extra bit of time with the bride alone the day of the wedding – so we made the most of every second.  Of course, the rest of their wedding day was fabulous, as well   Marianne & Josh are an incredible couple.  Thanks, guys, for an amazing day!

Yan & Essam’s wedding was very special on many levels. They are such a sweet, loving couple – such a joy to be around. I was so excited when I found out my good friend and incredibly talented photographer, Julie Woodford of Julie Woodford Photography, was going to be vacationing out here over labor day weekend. Lucky for me, she agreed to come along and photograph Yan & Essam’s wedding with me. We had an amazing time shooting this beautiful wedding together.

I LOVE this shot that Julie took …

We had a little bit of excitement during the cocktail hour. I was so engrossed shooting the bridesmaids bouquets underneath the window when I heard this really loud crack! I look up, and there’s this huge hole in the glass right above me! Apparently a golf ball had hit the window … Lucky for us, it was double pane glass, and no one was hurt.

I love the yellow and brown theme.
