Juliette and Mike’s wedding was magic. What a perfect day at Byington Winery in the Los Gatos Mountains. Gorgeous bride, handsome groom, cool family and friends, all the details were correct. Check out their wedding film:
Thanks for the look y’all!

Frances, you were a beautiful bride. So graceful and elegant. Vy, you’re a handsome and lucky guy! These guys are totally in Love, here’s their fab engagement pictures that I made last Spring, and here’s some of the wedding photographs I made for them. You guys go together like peanut butter and jelly : )
Shot this wedding at the gorgeous Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club. What a beautiful venue- the view there is fantastic. Everything about this wedding was so great. Great family and friends. I loved working with LT Beaton and her professional staff, they made everything perfect. The tasty wedding cake was made by Rose Graboski at Cakes by Rose. Spencer Sutherland of Sutherland Entertainment rocked the reception. Shout out to my main man Martin for the help shooting- awesome job as usual!
Thanks so much for having me, it has been super fun working with you guys!

November at the California coast is beautiful. You can get beautiful sunsets and dramatic skies. Not much fog. If you’re a landscape photographer, you might want to add the Natural Bridge in Santa Cruz to your portfolio. Bring the tripod for long exposures. This is the time- you might see me there at sunset trying for the perfect shot : )
Meet Jimmy and Allyson, a super sweet couple from the East Bay, getting married on the beach in Monterey at the Monterey Beach Resort next year. They love the coast, and I was psyched when they said that they wanted to shoot their engagement session down by the beach. We had fun shooting, they are so carefree and awesome. Very relaxed. I thought that they were made for each other : )
Thanks much guys, you ROCKED your session! Can’t wait for your wedding!!!

Wow, it really is a small world after all! I’m excited to announce that Gideon and Lee’s fab wedding in Pebble Beach is being featured on the most popular and important wedding planning website in Brazil- Mother of the Bride, by Cristina Nudelman. Cristina loved all the gorgeous details that Lee and Gideon planned for their destination wedding at the beautiful Lodge and Beach Club at Pebble Beach, and wanted to share them with her readers. Congrats guys, your wedding was magic!

The Lodge and Beach Club at Pebble Beach is one of the most beautiful wedding venues anywhere. The service is impeccable. Add to that all the gorgeous details that Lee and Gideon designed for their wedding day, and I can’t say enough. It was epic.
Love was everywhere! The people, the culture and traditions, the food, drinks, the views- the experience was amazing. Everything was perfect, from Lee’s stunning Maggie Sottero designer dress, to her chic Manolo Blahnik‘s. The wedding cake by the fabulous Marina Sousa of Just Cake was so elegant and tasty. As ever, it was a pleasure working with Steve and Ann at Steve Ezzo Entertainment. Their band, Steve Ezzo & The Monterey Bay All-Stars, absolutely Rocked the reception, and Steve Ezzo is always an accomplished Master of Ceremony.
Thanks so much for having me guys, it was a pleasure!
Happy Monday!

Wow, what an amazing wedding! I love these images, bravo, they are beautifully made.
Hey guys, meet Vy and Frances, up on the blog! Sorry for the hiatus peeps, I was on vacation in Hawaii, and then busy with beautiful Fall weddings- like this one! What a pleasure it was to work with these guys. They rocked their engagement session. Their wedding was super fun! The beautiful Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club hosted the nuptials- L.T. Beaton and her staff always provide awesome service, DJ Spencer Sutherland packed the dance floor and this party was off the hook! There was a lotta Love in that room, and I know these two are gonna live Happily Ever After! Frances & Vy, thanks for having me!
Thanks for the look everyone, and have a great week!

I love these! Super fun, and I love how you compose the images. Gorgeous.
Meet Mike & Sasha y’all! These 2 guys are a blast- I had the best time shooting around San Francisco with them. Totally chill, fun, up for anything. I think I said “Oh, this is awesome!” about 20 times. They’re getting married at The Perry House in Monterey, a lovingly restored Victorian mansion full of beauty and charm. Can’t wait! Enjoy the shots and we’ll see you guys in October. Friends and family of M & S, feel free to leave a comment below!
CONGRATS GUYS!!!
