Johanna + Frank Wedding - MacArthur Place Palo Alto Wedding - {Bay Area Wedding Photographer}

I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes to be a California wedding photographer, the fact that I can shoot all the way into November and into December for weddings and still have gorgeous warm days! Johanna and Frank's wedding was just that - gorgeous and warm and full of many family and friends (225 actually!!) And although they had their reception at the historical MacArthur Park there were many stops before that for photos - we shot at five different locations, I think their guest count and photo location count might set the record. They were so easy going and fun, it was such a pleasure to capture their joyous day. And to top it off their Mariachi band was outstanding! What a fantastic day and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it!

To my amazing 2nd shooter Emily - you're the best!

beach love engagement - {Bay Area Wedding Photographer}

I love my trips down to LA to see family and friends - especially when I get to pick up my camera while I'm there. I've known of Erica since high school but actually got to know her when we studied abroad together in college to Italy. She was my little travel buddy and made for some of my best memories in college. I could not be more excited for her and Josh and their upcoming wedding this year. This Santa Monica engagement session was full of laughs, chemistry and a sweet romance that I can't wait to see continue. I can't wait for May!
