Julie and Ryan are such an awesome couple, and I still can’t get over how endearing he is to Julie’s daughter, which he is adopting. During the ceremony, he presented her with a ring, promising her to always take care of her. Julie and Ryan’s wedding was the first of a double header for me [...]
I met Heidi 9 years ago while working at the Arizona Daily Sun in Flagstaff, Ariz. It was my first newspaper gig, and I had a lot to learn in life. A lot. Heidi worked at the weekly of the Arizona Daily Sun: FlagLive. Periodically in the newspaper world, us photographers for the Daily had [...]
One of the great things about where I live and where I hope to never have to move away, is the fact that when I do come back to Tahoe, I feel completely at peace with the elevation, the scenery, the lifestyle. As it is, it is a 2 hour drive to the Sacramento airport [...]
Sal and Daragh remind me quite a bit of Aimee and Mike, whom I photographed back in March at Plumpjack in Squaw. When I met with Daragh and Sal, Daragh had the same expression as Aimee did with I met with Aimee. Daragh KNEW. She loved how I photographed, the moments of my documentary style [...]
Christina says Jeremy comes up to Tahoe quite a bit to go snowboarding. Next winter I hope to meet up with them on the slopes. They decided on an early morning wedding (yes, 10am is early to me) with the reception over at the Pacific Athletic Club in Redwood City. I have to say there [...]

Logan is so incredibly respectful and supportive of Jane, it was so amazing to photograph. They were married on a Thursday at Edgewood, which [...]
I met up with a client on Sunday who is getting married at a gorgeous backyard venue in Sacramento on Sunday morning. So excited for their June 12th wedding! Luckily for me my friends Maria and Drew live very close to the 6/12 Sacramento wedding, and I was able to catch up on some much [...]
One of the greatest resources I’ve found for planning a wedding is a budget calculator which helps you understand how much the big event you are planning is going to cost (versus how much you think it will cost). I rated just for fun if I was to plan a big event in North Lake [...]
