Winning Photo in WPJA contest: 15th place Q3, 2009

I'm so excited to have a winning photo in the WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) 3rd quarter contest of 2009!! This beautiful image placed 15th in the Ceremony category among hundreds of submissions by wedding photojournalists from around the world. I captured this moment at Elise and Jonathan's wedding in the stunning Santa Clara University Mission Church. The light and sweet gesture expresses exactly what I try to capture at every wedding. I'm so thrilled to have this lovely image represent my work.

Deserie + Joe | Testarossa Vineyards

Here are some of my favorite images from Deserie and Joe's wedding at Testarossa Vineyards. What a beautiful family you have now; four adorable children and the cutest pug. (what is it with me and dogs? that's two weddings in a row, I love it!) An identical twin brother to the groom certainly added to the fun since I really had to make sure I was photographing the right guy, and they really had a good time trying to confuse me! Thanks for all the fun and wonderful opportunity to share your incredible day.

Linda + Brad | Nestledown

Here are some of my favorite images from Linda and Brad's gorgeous celebration at Nestledown. What a magically beautiful setting to be married! There are so many whimsical and charming elements to this property all nestled in the grove of magnificent redwoods. The event design and coordination was by Isabella of Florabella Weddings. She did an exquisite job creating some of the most beautiful colorful details I've seen. We loved being there and capturing all the beauty. Cheers to you both on your new adventure!

Have you ever seen cuter dogs? I could have photographed them all day!

Gar-Ye + Coleman | Piedmont Community Hall

We so enjoyed photographing Gar-Ye and Coleman's beautiful wedding celebration in the Piedmont hills of Oakland. The enchanting redwood grove amphitheater was such a dramatic spot for the ceremony. And Gar's hand made decorations were so creative from her butterfly place cards and paper flower bouquets to the adorable tea pot flower arrangements. Gar has such a charming creative flare and a personality to match! Congrats to you both; it's great to see the coming together of different cultural backgrounds to make such a unique and wonderful new family.
