Your local guy? Or a destination wedding photographer?
Before you hire a wedding photographer, you really should read this. Perhaps you haven’t even considered hiring a “destination photographer” because you’re tying the knot in your home town. Or maybe you thought you’d just take the recommendation from the coordinator of the venue you’ve chosen. Of all the choices you need to make […]
David + Nanette, Hotel Vitale
Farrah + James, Portraits, New York City
Traveling and taking photos goes hand-in-hand for me. I am a destination photographer and destinations like New York City must be photographed. Over Christmas week I was able to set up a session with Farrah and James. Farrah and I met a few days prior to talk about the shoot so she would know what to expect and […]
Fairmont Hotel, Wedding, San Francisco
Recently I was invited to shoot a wedding at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco with another photographer. Photographers often do this so we can learn from one another and develop our style. Mike and I met years ago and have admired one another’s work as well as refer one another. He is a good collaborator like me, […]
Kathryn + Ethan, Portraits, San Francisco
Kathryn and Ethan found me through Here Comes The Guide, (an elite listing of wedding vendors who must qualify for inclusion). Kathryn’s last name happens to also be “Myers” and I joked that she really shouldn’t leave our legacy. But on second thought, I must admit trading-up for an easier-to-spell last name is totally understandable. Later we all joined on a Skype call […]

Lauren + Ben, Portraits, Seattle
Lauren is special to me. She is my niece and we share the same birthdate. She is also the first person I’ve known since she was born so I’ve truly seen her change, grow and impress. So when I started hearing about “Ben,” I was curious and not a bit surprised that he’s a class act. […]
Ricardo + Xenia, Cupertino, CA
“You photographed the wedding of our friends, Lauren and Chris, last summer. We were blown away with how beautiful their wedding photographs came out, and we love your style– we’ve seen other wedding photographs that look too posed or forced, and we want our photographs to look candid and natural.” This was how Xenia introduced […]
Mark + Lilea, San Francisco Wedding
I met with Mark and Lilea only a few months ago. They were organizing their multi-cultural wedding complete with over 200 guests and all the trimmings. I enjoyed listening to their engagement story and how they met. It was great to learn about them as a couple. Then we talked about the wedding and something happened: […]
Hayley + Zach, Berkeley, CA
Hayley and Zach told me they reached out to me based on seeing my photos of Ali + Bo’s wedding, (another great wedding!) They said they liked the way I shoot. This was my first shoot at the Berkeley City Club. I scouted it a few days prior and loved the textures and the way the […]
Mark + Lilea, San Francisco, CA
Sarah + Gary, Savannah, GA
This is the kind of wedding that motivates me. Photographing weddings is great, but there is a serious bonus when I am trusted, welcomed into personal moments, and friendships are made. A lot of wedding photographers talk about how they have the best clients and it is cliché, but I think most of us genuinely believe […]
Sarah + Gary, Portraits, Savannah, GA
Sarah and Gary began our weekend with a portrait session the day before their wedding. Previously I photographed them in Paris. Now, the Eiffel Tower was replaced with the woods of Savannah, Georgia. Majestic oak trees with hanging Spanish moss are everywhere. . . so good. I forgot that when I photographed them in Paris, they had been dating for […]
Gary + Sarah, Savannah GA
Ali + Bo, Carmel Valley, CA
Ali and Bo held their wedding at Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley, CA. They found me through a past client’s recommendation. I love referrals because a friend’s opinion is trusted and they go can hire me knowing more about my style and quality. . . and (as in this case) I get to photograph a past client, once a […]
Geradine + Raymond, Elopement, St Helena, CA
Geradine and Raymond are Irish, but live in Hong Kong. They could have had their wedding anywhere, but eloped in St Helena, California. This says a lot. . . they wanted something unique for them: a destination wedding that was intimate and personal in one of the most beautiful places in the world. They found me through Here […]
Julia + Bertil, Portraits, San Francisco, CA
One of the best thing about being a wedding photographer: clients often become friends. I photographed Julia and Bertil’s wedding ceremony at San Francisco City Hall a couple years ago. Going into this wedding I was a little apprehensive. During our pre-production call, I had a hard time understanding Bertil’s French accent (it’s no issue […]
Megan + Clément, Hopland, CA
I am usually contacted by wedding planners, brides and grooms about my availability. This was the first time a cousin to the bride reached out. Marie use to be a wedding photographer, is awesome, organized and gracious enough to build the best wedding dream-team for her cousin (how cool is that?). I learned that this would be another […]
Lauren + Chris, Woodside, CA
“We are outrageously happy with your photos- absolutely love them! Somehow you managed to exceed our expectations. . . Thank you again, for being there for us on the day and for giving us such wonderful images to look back on,” from Lauren and Chris while on their honeymoon. Part of the reason I deliver photos […]
Candela + Ed, Ibiza, Spain
Candela and Ed married in Ibiza, Spain. It’s a small island known for partying, beaches, and then more partying. Like most destination weddings, I shot over 3 days and melded into the group. Where the group went, I did too, with camera. This is great because the photos are more personal and friendships are made. […]
Benjamin + Jules, Portraits, Paris
When traveling for destination weddings, I’ll often line-up portrait sessions if time allows. Although Paris has plenty to do, I love meeting people and making portraits. Paris is one of my favorite places so on this trip I photographed several couples. I’m happy we made these photos before Benjamin and Jules became husband and wife […]
Julia + Bertil, Paris
Julia et Bertil… Relationships with my clients are often remarkable. I like to bond. I like to get to know the people who have allowed me be part of an event that will be remembered as much as their child’s birth. It’s a landmark, life changing day. Bonding with Julia and Bertil’s family and friends […]
Sarah + Gary, Portraits, Paris
Sarah and Gary were in Paris for a wedding and added a portrait session with me. Paris is too remarkable not to. We shot these over about an hour and it was enough for them to remember me when they wed in Savannah a year later. That too was a great day.
Candela + Ed, Portraits, Paris
Photographing couples in Paris is about as good as it gets and the perk to being a destination wedding photographer. I met Candela and Ed while shooting a wedding in Paris a few months ago. Candela was a bridesmaid for that wedding and planning for her own wedding in Ibiza, Spain. We did this session one February […]
Tina + Erik, Portraits, Marin County, CA
I have known Erik and Tina for over ten years. I met them about the time that they married. They are happy. Like happy and really in love. It’s cool, inspiring and something to be cherished. Thanks to both of you. Nice job and here’s to a life together.
Maggie + Branko, Marin Headlands, CA
Maggie and Branko were referred to me by a close friend. He said, “these are good people” and I should shoot their wedding. Such a recommendation carries a lot of weight with me because I think pretty much everything good starts with “good people”: people who care about one another, their craft, their health, the […]
Julia + Bertil, Portraits, Paris
Julia + Bertil hired me in San Francisco, then again for a 2nd wedding in Paris. What follows below are photos from 2 amazing hours where everything lined-up perfectly. Sometimes sessions happen and it is really difficult to pick your favorite images.
Maggie + Branko, Portraits, Muir Beach, CA
I get to photograph Maggie and Branko’s wedding in a few months. I am glad we were able spend an hour at Muir Beach, creating some photos that will be some of their first keepsakes. Thank you both. I look forward to your wedding day!
Bertil + Julia, San Francisco City Hall
Bertil and Julia are true internationals. Bertil is from France. Julia is from San Francisco. They reached out to me from China (where the currently live). I met them a day before their wedding to get to know one another and hear what “their story” is. They started dating not too long ago and (with […]

Words to live by.
Brittany + David, St Helena, CA
“Yes, she will want some group photos, but for the most part, she would like you to capture events as they come naturally.” This was the email message I received from Brittany’s wedding planner. I get this request a lot and it is understandable. I don’t think couples want photography that is unnatural or forced. […]
My Boy: the swimmer
Part of being in this family is you get your picture taken. . . a lot. Here is Max, posing for me at the local pool. He is only 5, but knows to hold still (and hold his breath). Love this guy. One of my heroes.
