Going into their wedding, the main thing that stuck in my head about Michelle and Kyle was something that they said during our first meeting. They just wanted for their guests to have a good time. This meant no big production, not a lot of events to break up the party… just food, drink and …
Although I’m a photographer, a profession that many people consider to be artistic, I don’t consider myself to be an artist… at least not like Chloé is an artist. While I have people and buildings and nature and light to work with when I create my images, Chloé stands in front of a blank canvas …
Emma and Ian are one of those couples who you know are just made for each other. Before their wedding day, I had only met Emma, so I wasn’t sure exactly what they were like as a couple. Once I met Ian, I knew that they were the real deal. One of the things that …

Kristen and David’s San Jose wedding was my last of the year and I couldn’t have hoped for a better grand finale to the 2016 wedding season. From the wonderful people to the beautiful venues to the amazing weather, weddings don’t get much better than this. Kristen’s ladies were so much fun to be around …
