I don’t have to tell you that spring and summer is in the air! But I will say that spring had definitely sprung on Michele and Ryan’s super sweet mini wedding day. A gorgeous private ceremony on the 4th floor of San Francisco’s City Hall, kissing under the cherry blossoms in Presidio Heights and celebrating with fabulous friends and family at the Spruce….what could be better? Maybe not even chocolate chip cookies ;) Oh wait, Michele’s oh-so classy fur (fake!) bolero is what’s better!! Congrats you classy two! Enjoy the sneak! Big thanks to the FAB Jane Kim (The Glamourist) for Michele’s fantastic makeup and hair styling! (more…)
Isn’t that photo the best first look moment?! I’ve been a busy bee photographing several mini weddings and elopements at San Francisco’s City Hall this past April. So lots to show you! First up, the fabulous first mate and captain duo, Melissa and Brian! A very cute adventure with these two. Both lived in the SF Bay Area for many years until recently moving to Denver. Instead of having a big hooplah of a wedding, they decided to tell only their parents/siblings to head to SF for a surprise celebration. They told all their SF friends to meet them for drinks (friends thought casual ‘hey we’re in town’ drinks) then they spilled the news that they married earlier that afternoon! Surprise! A pop-up friends reception! I can dig it ;) We even stopped at their favorite (and first meeting) neighborhood bar. Giggly, sarcastically funny and dapper dressers these two. You’ll love her Kate Spade dress, stunning emerald necklace and feathery Badgley Mischka pumps. Everyone was bright and cheery, my kinda day! Enjoy the sneak! (more…)
Step right up to the last of this 4 part series! Cheree Berry has wooed us with her gold foil and bright, whimsical designs. I’m featuring some of my favorite wedding invitations and wedding day-of details from the past few photo shoots so hold on to your paper hats! I’ve got stripes, circles, gold, horn blowers and completely shiny delights! (more…)
Day 3 of Cheree! I’m featuring all kinds of save the dates and wedding day-of details today. Will you see more gold foil? Yes, yes you will ;) Oh and a really rockin paper place card garland. I may have the best job in the world photographing paper delights and designs. Curious where Cheree will be using these images? Most of the images will be used on their website, some used as hero shots for banners, show stopping attention grabbers for each category of the site and product thumbnails. Some get used in advertising banners and magazine print ads. She’s launching a new website soon (more…)
Did I mention Cheree and team are the gold foil queens?! I love it, and they know how to use it. My business cards feature their gold foil skills ;) Today’s part 2 features whimsical everyday stationery, baby announcements and baby invitations! Maybe this will inspire you to hand write more thank you notes and love letters. And just when you thought wedding details were all over the place…watch out baby shower details are in full swing! (more…)
Here we go! Another series of fabulous custom stationery coming your way! As mentioned before, I’ve had 10 stationery photo shoots in the past few months, and I’m finally sharing them with you. This series is featuring the whimsical work of Cheree Berry and team. They hold a special little place in my heart as they were my first stationery client ;) I’ve worked with Cheree since 2009 on other projects, but it was 2010 when we started photographing all her paper goods for the upcoming launch of their new website! I can’t wait to see our labor of love…have a feeling it’s going to knock the socks off the stationery world. This part 1 features some of my favorite custom party invitations. Enjoy! (more…)

All kinds of uses! Enjoy part 2! (more…)
