This bride- and groom-to-be will we married later this month in Volcano, CA. I can’t believe I’m shooting a wedding inside a volcano. I’m beyond excited. Look for a wedding post early in the new year.
We took some engagement photos at Villa Montalvo. I hope to photograph a Montalvo Arts Center wedding someday. The historic estate, at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, is positively picturesque.
Kristine and Charles e-mailed me to schedule a free engagement session and asked if I would mind shooting at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. Even though I’m a die-hard Oakland Athletics fan, I said yes, and we shot there and at San Francisco City Hall. I guess I’ll have to wait to do an Oakland Athletics engagement shoot. I’m looking forward to photographing their Mountain View wedding next summer.
Lisa-Mei and Nick found me on Photoshelter and asked if I’d shoot their Sonoma County beach wedding this September. We decided to take some engagement photos along the same lovely coastline, at Schoolhouse Beach and then in the town of Bodega. They brought their well-behaved dogs and we had a wonderful time – I love engagement sessions that are real and down to earth and tell the story of something that the couple might normally be doing. The west side of Sonoma County is such an idyllic wedding setting – there are all sorts of beautiful nooks and crannies – like Barley and Hops, in Occidental, for example. Thanks for looking, and keep an eye out for another post from this lovely couple – we’re planning another session in the city, without the dogs.
