Whew!

It is full on wedding season and it’s vacation season to boot.  I can’t complain about either but it’s definitely caused a blog backlog – say that 3 times as fast as you can.  So, to tide you over, or possibly just to tease you, here’s what’s in store for the blog.  When I get back from VACATION, that is.  That’s right, I’m off to British Columbia for a week!  If I can catch up on “work” photos then maybe I’ll even get around to sharing some vacation photos.  Until then…

Published {The Knot}

Leila and Aaron’s gorgeous wedding was featured in the most recent issue of The Knot.  It’s so fun to see them in print!  You can see more details from their wedding here and here.

Fung Yee + Harvey {a glimpse}

I am a photo editing machine but I still can’t seem to get them done fast enough.  Here’s a little peek for Fung Yee and Harvey…

Michelle + Brian {a glimpse}

Just a quick peek from Michelle and Brian’s happy and colorful wedding at Dawn Ranch in Guerneville.  Stay tuned for more…

Workshops and one of my favorite photos

It’s time for another Snap Happy Workshop!  My dear friend and fabulous photographer, Annie and I are offering a Sit and Learn workshop on June 27.  It’s always fun, everyone learns and laughs and makes new friends and we keep you well fed and hydrated to boot!  If you’re interested or know someone who is, visit the Snap Happy site and sign up.

And speaking of the super talented Annie, mosey on over to her site and see the cute, cute pic she took of my little photographer-to-be.  How awesome is that??

Colby + Will: sneak peek of the sneak peek

I have an outrageous number of gorgeous photos from this wedding to share but Colby and Will are back from their honeymoon so I have to give them something to tide them over.  Many, many more to follow…

Keri + Russell = LOVE

I’m photographing Keri’s sister’s wedding in July and she contacted me a few months ago because she wanted some portraits of her and her husband, Russell.  There are about a million reasons I love my job but I really love when I fall into a little circle of awesome people.  Keri grew up with Natalie which is how Kristi found me and so on and so forth:-)  OK, let’s get to the good stuff!  Keri and Russell met me at Crissy Field and it started raining the minute I left the house so I was ever so slightly worried that the weather wasn’t going to cooperate.  Instead we totally scored some beautiful clouds and a very pretty sky!  Oh, right, the photos…

Keri and Russell brought their 18 month old pup, Gus.  He was born on their wedding day – sweet!  Look at him go!

I had so much fun with these guys!  Afterward, we had a glass of wine and enjoyed the last bit of the day.  And I also found out that Russell owns a VW Type 181 (aka Thing) just like me!  Except his is a little nicer:-)  I’ll see you two in July!

Tiffany + Conan: San Francisco engagement session

The weather in San Francisco has been really gorgeous as of late (though a little windy) and the weather gods and/or goddesses were definitely smiling on us the day of Tiffany and Conan’s engagement session.  We met at the Embarcadero and I let them know that they should act natural and just cuddle and be affectionate as they normally would.  They let me know that wouldn’t be a problem.

As you can see, they are totally and completely smitten with each other.  After the Embarcadero we headed to Crissy Field.  I have a lot of favorites from this part of the session so bear with me.

A little goofing around and then we had a furry visitor stop by.

Some images work well in color and some are better in black and white but this was a tough call.  Luckily I don’t have to choose!

And a final few moments on the beach.  Still laughing!

Tiffany and Conan are getting married at one of the most beautiful churches in San Francisco in September but I’ll be seeing them again soon – it turns out that Conan is a groomsman at a wedding I’m photographing at the end of this month!
