Here are some additional shots from Sarah & Sam's intimate wedding!

Sarah and Sam called me from Denver last Thursday and asked if I would photograph their wedding in Maui on Wednesday. It took me a millisecond to make the obvious decision: who could pass up mid-week nuptials in Maui?! When I met Sarah and Sam in their hotel room, they were getting ready together: Sam zipped up Sarah's dress, Sarah rolled back his cuffs, their children's photos were taped to the dressing room mirror and the smell of tuberose was everywhere. This was a thing of beauty and it was only the beginning. Thank you, Sarah and Sam, for inviting me, a total stranger, to your intimate wedding and for making me a witness! (I won't let you down!) Here's a little favorite with more to come soon. And, by the way, it was my best over-the-hump day ever!

It was great to see Katie & Erik again since we had such a great time this summer at their engagement session in Capitola. Their wedding was so personal and touching, I think everyone cried at least twice. This was the type of wedding that was so beautifully honest, loving and raw that you would get chills every five minutes--it was great! :-) I was so honored to be there. Thanks so much, Katie & Erik! Smooch!

The awesome Kati Greaney took this aerial shot. I love it.

The Sesnon House has it all: grand architecture and beautiful grounds.

The color scheme was gorgeous, original and timeless: black and green...and yes, polka dots!! The flowers by Bonny Doon Gardens were a perfect match. Katie loved them!

You know "the look" of love that makes us weak in the knees? The exchange between two people that is so undeniable, so gorgeous, squeezable yet passionate and utterly pure? Ahhhh, I love that look and love photographing it even more! Libby & Marc, the adorable favors that never made it to the tables were not necessary because every single guest took home so much more than what was wrapped up for them. Smooch!

During the ceremony...


Libby looking at herself for the first time.
In lieu of seeing each other before the ceremony, Libby suggested we do this. I love it!
BethAnn of Studio Cake always dazzles!
Juliet took this shot & I loved post-processing it with tones and textures:

A Practical Wedding is a beautiful wedding site/utopia full of ideas, inspiration, creativity and lovely sanity.:-) I was so thrilled when they told me they wanted to feature Tiffany & Ethan's gorgeous Corralitos wedding. Tiffany and Ethan are beautiful, genuine people and they had the most incredible and stylish details sprinkled throughout their wedding day; it was a feast for the eyes--and their local & organic picnic lunches were delectable as well. Check out this incredible wedding resource--they are the real deal and strike such a cord with me that I decided to become a sponsor!
