Being a photographer is relatively easy when a couple like Celine and Willy is in front of the camera. I just had to point the camera in their general direction and keep pressing the shutter — they did the rest. They laughed. They cuddled. They snuggled. They stared into each other’s eyes. They kissed. They [...]

My cousin Wei-Lin has never had professional photos taken with her family. (Even at her wedding: their photographer didn’t show up, and they had to make do with friends’ and family’s snapshots. Yikes.) So when she asked if I would take some family pictures of her with her husband Justin and son Jaydon, I jumped [...]

One of the first things you notice about Alicia and Todd is that they’re always laughing together. Grins, giggles, guffaws, and all-out head-thrown-back from-the-belly laughs – they rarely quit laughing. Even as things ran late; even as the temps neared 100; even as their guests scattered hither and yon while trying to herd them together [...]

When I first posted engagement photos like Megean & Cameron’s, my sister Myra emailed me and said she wanted some, too, even though she’s long been married to her husband Aaron. She said she didn’t have any nice pictures of just the two of them. The only problem was that they didn’t think of themselves [...]

You know what’s really cool? When you get to photograph a couple’s wedding, and then continue to stay in touch as they build their new lives together. That’s what has happened with Sydnie and Scott. I was their wedding photographer when they got married in Pilot Hill, California, recently. When Sydnie became pregnant, she dropped [...]

Brig is a Guy with a capital G. He rock-climbs. He hikes up mountains in 110-degree weather on his lunch break. He goes a little crazy during March Madness. He plays in a mens basketball league. He works hard and plays hard. Lissett is a girly-girl. She wears pretty dresses. She loves expensive handbags, especially [...]

It’s been rainy here in Northern California. The forecast for Megean and Cameron’s wedding day? Rain. Cold rain. The forecast for their spirits? Sunny and warm. Okay, I know that sounds cheesy, but honestly, you wouldn’t know they’ve been planning an outdoor wedding all these months at the Auburn Valley Golf Club (in Auburn, California), [...]

I met Megean and Cameron when I photographed Sydnie and Scott’s wedding last year; Cameron is Sydnie’s brother, and Megean was one of Sydnie’s bridesmaids. I was delighted when they contacted me about photographing their upcoming wedding in Auburn, California. I had a lot of fun at Sydnie and Scott’s wedding, and I’m looking forward [...]

What do you get when you cross a lively, playful, loud, vibrant, sometimes-silly, secretly-responsible, wacko fun girl with a quiet, hard-working, definitely-responsible, hard-playing, hard-working, long-suffering incredibly patient guy? If you answered “Carol and Martin” — you’re close! The answer is Sydnie and Scott. She teases him mercilessly. He bides his time, then plays a prank. [...]

Karen and Michael like Hawaii. Like really like Hawaii. They go whenever they can (and who can blame them?). But when it came time to planning their wedding they really had to keep it close to home so friends and family could still come. So they did the next best thing: they had a Hawaiian-themed [...]
