Brownstone Gardens Wedding / Oakley / Alisse & Daron

Dear Alisse and Daron,

Your  Brownstone Gardens wedding was the sweetest wedding I’ve yet to photograph in Oakley. I felt such incredible emotion between you two, your seriousness, Alisse, and Daron’s silliness, you two together are such an beautiful couple, I am so incredibly thankful to photograph. You made me feel like I was your friends from the first meeting with you. You were so relaxed, chill even, from getting ready to having a later ceremony. Such an amazing day, you two deserve an amazing life together. Thank you for allowing me to photograph you on the happiest day of your lives thus far.

OXO,

Heidi

2012 / Instagram

When I think back on 2012, I feel as if it was one of the most difficult years I’ve had yet. Then I see all the Instagram photos of my life, I realize, it was also one of the best. I’ve road-tripped, explored, loved, been loved, watch life develop in front of me, captured love, laughed, cried, experienced life. I stayed and worked in Tahoe last winter, in the Spring ventured up to Seattle to visit my brother, photographed a ton at the Lake, weddings and love, changes, to exploring Yosemite, road-tripping around Black Rock Desert, to going to Arizona and multiple times to the Bay, and finishing off my year seeing Primus in San Fancisco. I am thankful. Very thankful for everything in my life. 2013 will be the year for me to let go of the things that do not serve me, the stuff that doesn’t make me feel better. I’ve heard it in my heart and soul for months, but nothing like this coming year to really explore letting go. I’m looking forward to seeing what life has to offer me in every aspect this year (and every year). Here’s to 2013 and my 2012 life in photos.

Lake Tahoe Wedding / Waiting for Dad

I had such an amazingly sweet experience adminst all the rainy weather of Tahoe for the past week for Kristin & Logan’s Lake Tahoe wedding.There comes a time in a woman’s life when she falls in love. She marries a man. Before the ceremony takes place in front of friends and family, the woman realizes she is letting go of the protection, security and safety of her father. These traits are to be passed from father to husband. There will always be a moment when the bride realizes this, and in this moment, this is one of many expressions of love and thoughtfulness of the bride towards her father. Congratulations to Kristin and Logan who married in Tahoe Vista for their Lake Tahoe wedding.

San Francisco Wedding Photographers / Yana & Dennis

San Francisco Wedding Photographers. Yana & Dennis. In September I had the immense pleasure of photographing Yana & Dennis’ wedding at the Pulgas Water Temple with the receptio at the Jewish Community Center in San Francisco. I met up with Yana and Dennis earlier in the year to talk details about their wedding. They were definitely prepared for everything and anything…and it showed. Their wedding couldn’t have been more elegant and classy They designed their wedding so perfectly, because I knew when I met them they are a very elegant and classy couple.  Here are a few of my favorites from enjoying the day with Yana & Dennis in San Francisco.

Tara & Wesley / Lake Tahoe wedding photographer / Just one

Tara and Wesley’s vows brought tears to most of their guests. I know now why I was chosen for their Lake Tahoe wedding photographer. I cried as well behind the camera. I felt their emotion, their vows to each other, as if their emotions were my own. That’s just how I am. They wanted a photographer who would capture those emotions and memories. Every aspect of their wedding epitomizes who I am, how I feel, how I relate. I love my clients. From the end of the night, I love how things just happen beautifully. I am in love their love. More to come. Tara & Wesley at the Hyatt Regency in Incline Village, Lake Tahoe.
