The time I spent with Jill and Kaung was filled with laughter both together and at each other. It's this kind of joy in a relationship that I love to photograph and bring out from couples.

Photographing at the San Francisco City Hall, a spectacular space filled with an abundance of soft light and striking architectural features, is always a pleasure.  After a quick informal session at city hall, we headed over to another San Francisco architectural landmark, the Palace of Fine Arts, and then concluded our day basking in the warm sunlight of the SF coast.

We would return to city hall on a quiet Tuesday morning to complete their marriage during a civil ceremony in front of friends and family from near and far. I'm pretty sure we went a little over the 6 person guest limit, but they didn't seem to mind.

Two days with two wonderful people.

They say home is where the heart is.

Going back as far as I can remember, Novato has been home, and with it comes great memories and even better people.  Nikki is one of those wonderful people I had gotten to know, dating back to the days of Hill Middle School, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph her wedding, at a hidden gem in Novato (who knew there was a winery in Novato?) no less. 

When I had the opportunity to meet Jake, I quickly realized they couldn't be a better fit.  Together these two are a fun, lovable, and goofy couple with a passionate and genuine love for one another.

The venue was great, the details were splendid, the wedding was beautiful, the couple is amazing, and the party was off the hook.  Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself...
