Magic sunsets, running on the beach, peacocks and tutus were only some of the wonderful elements of Liz & Brian’s wedding earlier this year. These two are definitely salt of the earth people, and I loved capturing their day!

When I first met Ashley and James, we hit it off immediately. They are some of the most expressive, honest people I have ever met, and they value very much the same things that I do, which made a great fit for the both of us. :) Being silly, being yourself, being honest, and forging deep relationships seemed to be their motto, and I LOVED IT. This quote that was displayed at their wedding could probably sum it all up better than I could:

“We are all a little weird
and life’s a little weird,
and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,
we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”
- Dr. Seuss

Needless to say, it was a day filled with so much fun & love. You can clearly see the appreciation and connection they have with each person in their lives, and how much they value one another. On top of that, they know how to LET LOOSE! In fact, the party was so much fun, that you might be able to spot some dancing photographers in these images (Hint, they’re towards the end. ;))!

Ashley & James, you two are the bee’s knees. I wish many years of love & weirdness for you both. ;)

So good to be blogging weddings again around here! Maddie & James’ wedding was a magic filled one, especially when the end of the day came. We were doubtful that there would be a sunset because it had been overcast a large part of the day, but when the time came, I said “Screw it, let’s just go anyway. You never know!”

You never know indeed.

Instead of no sunset, we were instead dazzled with one of the most spectacular show of colors that I have ever seen. And it just kept getting and better and better — it was like the sky was on fire.

On top of the dazzling sunset, Maddie worked ever so hard to make the day a special one, with every detail that she put into the event. It was a wonderfully beautiful celebration for these two swim team sweethearts.

It is a well-known fact that I love trees. Especially Redwoods. Let it be known that I love them with a passion. So of course, being able to photograph a wedding in the redwoods is one of the best things ever for me!

I have known Monica for a long time (since high school), so it was such a pleasure & joy to photograph this amazing day in Woodside, CA. There were faux mustaches, vintage couches (that Roger totally found and lugged to the location!), woodcut signs & GoPro cameras everywhere! The air was filled with love, joy, & lots of crazy dancing! Of course, I had to join in on the dancing too!

(I also need to post their engagement session, which was pretty epic, but of course, blogging has bested me again! I’ll probably have to go backwards on that one. ;))

I heart these two, a lot. <3

And, I am sort of ridiculously excited for you all to see more images from this wedding! For now, this will do!

. . . . .

The trees! Oh, the trees!!

Things have been super busy around here, and I have been neglecting to post teasers from all my recent shoots! But have no fear, there are TONS of fresh images coming your way. So for the rest of the week I’ll be posting lots of teasers — so sit back, & enjoy! ;)

More to come of this AMAZING wedding, of course!
