I just worked with the most beautiful couple, Marcie and Augie, who married at The gorgeous Citizen Hotel. This exclusive, boutique hotel is located in the heart of downtown Sacramento. The cosmopolitan venue suited the couple's personalities very well. Both the ceremony and the reception were held in a gorgeous, enclosed, rooftop location with spectacular views of the sunset as well as the California Capital. The views were breathtaking from every angle.

During one of the longest, most gorgeous days of June, I was privileged to photograph Abby and Loren’s stunning wedding at Relais du Soleil.

This spectacular wedding venue in Glen Ellen is nestled in Nuns Canyon, at the base of the Mayacamas, the mountain range that separates Napa from Sonoma.  The 120 acre country estate is a natural paradise, complete with a turn-of-the-century farm … Read more »

We decided to use Bay Area landmarks as our backdrop as well as walls covered in … Read more »
