Kelly And Greg – San Francisco City Hall Wedding

Radiant, and rainy. Two adjectives which describe my first wedding of 2012! It’s always an enormous honor when a friend asks you to shoot their wedding, in this case I was very touched when Kelly and Greg decided to book me for this day at city hall. We began with the appointment for their license, and in no time at all were standing in the Rotunda, surrounded by their closest friends and the officiant (who was absolutely lovely!). After, we headed up to the 3rd floor to take advantage of the incredible light up there for some portraits of the couple and their attendants.

I love Kelly’s 1930’s inspired dress and hat so much that I couldn’t resist processing a number of their images in velvety black and white – some of these shots remind me of my grandmother’s wedding album images, which were a big inspiration to me growing up.

I feel so very lucky to get to spend my life with this adorable guy.

Tons of photos were taken by a good friend, the ring shots are by me. It was a lot of fun to photograph the details of my own wedding!

San Francisco Wedding Photography, Jennifer and Ovais at the Fairmont

San Francisco’s had an unusually rainy June, the entire week before Jennifer and Ovais’s wedding it was either pouring or sprinkling – threatening their plans to use the outdoor roof garden of the Fairmont Hotel for their ceremony as well as putting a damper on our goal to shoot outdoor portraits. Luckily on the day of the wedding the clouds parted and we were given a respite from the wet weather. Jennifer and Ovais told me their wedding would be small, but my second shooter and I were kept busy all day long photographing their friends and family, with no shortage of lovely moments to document.

Nick And Ingrid – Wedding Snapshots

My good friends Nick and Ingrid were married last summer in San Anselmo, and while they opted not to book any of their friends in an official photographer capacity, I couldn’t resist snapping a few candid images of their beautiful wedding.
