Am I obsessed with black wedding dresses? Yes!

Am I obsessed with black wedding dresses? Yes! Am I obsessed with SF City Hall? Yes! Am I obsessed with Sarah and Justin’s SF City Hall wedding?!?!?! Abso-fucking-lutely hell yes!!!

I am obsessed with these two and their wedding day! You know how sometimes you meet people and instantly know that you will forever be friends? This is how I felt about them. Sarah and Justin welcomed me into their lives with open arms, trusted me, and treated me like family.

When I met Sarah and Justin, they didn’t know where they wanted to get married. They were still throwing ideas around when we were planning their engagement session. At their engagement session, she mentioned to me that she saw my guide on how to get married at SF City Hall and loved it. We chatted about logistics and if it was a right fit for them. Shortly after, Sarah reached out and decided that she wanted to get married at SF City Hall and we never looked back! It was such a fun and amazing journey! I feel so honored to be there and help them through this season.

@tiarararaa and @kdfukes tied the knot this weekend at @wente in Livermore and it was a blast! Oh gosh! Where do I even begin?!?! Hearing all the stories of these two together and watching them goof around and enjoy their wedding day with all their friends and family has to be the highlight for me! The energy these two bring to those around them is just perfection! They are just perfection! I love how these two compliment one another. He’s the yin to her yang!

Sharing with you an elopement I did in Paradise (P

Sharing with you an elopement I did in Paradise (Paradise, California to be exact) a few weeks back.

@maddienichole99 and @gabeee_98 had met in 7th grade school and are high school sweethearts. They both decided to go to Chico for college, where they moved in together. Maddie and Gabe will always have a soft spot for Chico because this is where they felt that their life together truly started. So it is no surprise that they wanted to get married and celebrate there!

Their day was absolutely the sweetest. They had an intimate ceremony surrounded by redwoods with their two pups, and four of their closest peeps. Afterwards, all their guests went back to their airbnb to chill and warm up a bit while we went for a little stroll and caught some beautiful views. There was a little pitstop to get food from their favorite Mexican joint before heading back to continue the celebration with everyone. There was food, cake, and a nerf fight!!!!! Altogether, a perfect day!!!!!!!!!

I drove up to Incline Village in Lake Tahoe yesterday for Mallory and Kyle’s Elopement and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE their day! There was a storm over the weekend and it dumped a TON of snow, but the cleared up just in time for their ceremony! The sun even popped out for a bit!

They started their day with just the two of them cozying up with their little pup, Kiwi, while enjoying mimosa and breakfast. Then they got ready, headed out for their intimate vows before meeting up with a few of their guests, and got married at Sand Harbor. We had a great time in the snow and popped some champagne before they headed back to their cabin to warm up, enjoy some charcuterie that Kyle’s parents made, and then head out to dinner.

While driving home, I couldn’t help but feel very lucky to be a part of their day and to be able to photograph these adventures for couples. For couples who want to elope in their own way. I loved that their family laughed and smiled through the whole day and even said, “Today is so Kyle and Mallory!” And that’s how it really should be! Your elopement day should reflect who you two are! Be you! Because there isn’t anyone else out there that can do you better than you!

Congrats you two!!!!
