I’ve rounded up my most favorite weddings I’ve photographed over the years. I felt like being a little extra today, so I compiled a list of cool SF locations to shoot at post-ceremony (urban hikes with my dogs help soooo much), and I also included a big list of hidden gem bars and restaurants to celebrate at after! There are some really cool places in the city that just seem untapped. Hoping soon to shoot more in these fun places! Link in bio to find the list - and also feel free to swipe left to see my top ten pics. ANNNND, Let me know if I included any of your favorite places!

I’ve never felt this kind of adrenaline in my life. My body hanging halfway out of the passenger's seat window to capture my clients in a traveling across the iconic golden gate bridge. I was shaking afterwards because it was exhilarating. We started our day at Cavallo Point, a place that Aman & Noor frequent often. After some brainstorming, we landed on incorporating a vintage taxicab to capture that “in the movies” feeling when you cross the bridge. And, what better way than to make it an unforgettable memory.

Happy New Year!

Cheers to 2021, being bold and unabashedly, authentically me.

Shot today somewhere in the woods of the PNW, with the sweetest most magical clients who not only said yes and got married (well technically their candlelit ceremony is happening shortly) but also said yes to my crazy wild ideas of getting butt naked in the woods on a rainy December day.

Intimate weddings, like Missy & Ben’s here, are more meaningful than ever. Couples who have to make difficult choices in either cutting guest counts, moving weddings to new dates, or Like Missy & Ben opting to still get married THIS YEAR, because ya’ll it’s about the marriage, the union and the commitment. I am looking forward to the day they get to celebrate with their family & friends, but for now, this day was more than special, and weddings like this get me really excited for what’s to come!

I’m releasing a few before & after pics right here on my blog! There are some head flips, color-correction, pole removal, a little liquefying (for all you non-photogs this is the slimming tool), car removal, etc. Every image might have different needs, sometimes basic and sometimes I go the extra mile. No matter what, the images are always fine-tuned with so much care.

As a small business owner I'm not protected. I can't call the government and ask for unemployment. My income at this point is totally uncertain and I’m currently the sole provider for my family.

For the first time ever, I’ve created a FINE ART PRINT shop of some of my favorite images from my travels. If you’re able and have the means to, my family & I would appreciate your support.

Prints are priced to be affordable. AND what would make me even happier is seeing these images hanging on your walls.
