MY + NHAN

In a two-part session to celebrate their marriage in San Francisco, I first met up with My and Nhan at Marshalls Beach on a classic, foggy San Francisco afternoon. The fog provided a cool and moody atmosphere and incredibly soft light. We adventured down to the shore, stayed warm, and enjoyed the iconic California Coast and Golden Gate Bridge vistas.

In stark contrast to that session, I met up with them a couple days later at the always stunning San Francisco City Hall. It’s hard to do wrong with that incredible piece of marble and granite filled architecture. We were fortunate to have a quiet day and beautiful light to work with. A splendid couple of days.

ALICE + KULDEEP

As someone who grew up in the area, I couldn’t ask for much more from this Friday afternoon wedding. A wonderful couple and a group of their close friends and family. The getting ready/first look space, tucked away in the hills of Mill Valley, was surrounded in lush greenery and redwood trees. The ceremony took place in a grove of Redwoods, one I would frequent with my nephew. Followed by a jovial and joyous reception at the Hopmonk Tavern in (my hometown) Novato, CA. It was beautiful, intimate, and a party.

What a delight California is in December. Crisp air and somehow a lingering yellow tree.

For Jason and Michelle’s engagement session, we went back to where it began for them, on the campus of UC Berkeley. Whilst everyone roaming the campus was fixated on the looming fall quarter finals, we enjoyed a relaxed stroll through their old stomping grounds.
