Brad + Daun [San Francisco, CA]

There are not two souls more sweeter or more deserving of happiness than Brad and Daun.

I see a lot of love in this business, but the sparks that ignite in the eyes of the love-struck never get old. And throughout the entirety of Brad and Daun's wedding day, the sparks turned to fireworks and illuminated all of San Francisco with the power of their love.

... this next photo of a moment in history was too fantastic not to share. 

Enter : horde of tourists & sweet, oblivious blind woman who heard the clicking of my camera and said with surprise, "oh! you're taking photos right now, aren't you!!?!"

Matt + Kathrin [Paso Robles, CA]

They say that rain on your wedding day means good luck. I don't know if that's true or not... but I DO know that Matt and Kathrin are total troopers, and completely head over heels for each other. 

Despite gale force winds, what felt like subzero temperatures (for Paso Robles in May, anyways), and rain that started falling right as they shared their first kiss as husband and wife -- Matt and Kathrin had a most beautiful and precious wedding day.

... it is a German wedding tradition for the bride and groom, as their first act as a married couple, to saw through a log together. The rain added some extra fun to that memory :)

 .... and yes. they most definitely busted out some serious Chicken Dance-ness.

The White/Hughes Family

You see the man in the red shirt? 

That is my Grandpa Jack. Ok, so we're not blood related - but I get to call him that anyways :) 

You might recognize the beautiful blonde in the purple sleeveless shirt as my darling cousin, Kelsey. She married into this amazing family... who I now consider my family too.

Amanda

Amanda and her mom came into town for a wedding I shot last week, and we managed to squeeze in a session before they hit the road back to Yosemite. The rainy skies took a break just long enough for the photos to be taken, which was a huge relief :)

If you can't already tell - Amanda is rather gorgeous. But she also has such a sweet, artistic soul - I had such a fun time capturing it :)
