Who doesn’t love the fishies? I love the fishies! So I was super happy when Kelsey & Bryce wanted them fishies in their engagement session Bonus points for also bringing the jelly fish to the party. And the best part of it was: that was just the beginning. Hope you’ll enjoy scrolling through this engagement session just as much as we enjoyed shooting it. Can’t wait for the wedding!

I’ve done engagements with World War II planes and vintage Mustangs… but I have to say, it was quite the experience to walk into a huge Shelby collector’s back room and come face to face with a Lamborghini Murcielago (swoon!) and a series (a series!!) of Shelby cars. So when we got to select which Shelby we’d use for the engagement (what? choice?!), I have to admit I blushed and pointed at the 50th anniversary Shelby. Its classic beauty is nothing less than breathtaking, but it couldn’t outshine Linh and Jerome’s equally impressive beauty. You’d think they’re models – but no, they’re a super vibrant couple who braved the Napa rain to produce some of the most amazing engagement photographs I’ve ever created!

So thank you Linh and Jerome… and I can’t wait for the wedding day!

Love,

Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to photograph Katrina Patchett, winner dancer of Season 1 of Dancing with the Stars French edition. Well, here I am again, lucky to be photographing the winner of season 2 of Dancing With the Stars, Maxime Dereymez. Maxime will be the all around favorite for the upcoming 3rd season debuting in just a few weeks in Paris.

One of the challenges and really fascinating aspects of working with celebrity dancers is to highlight the different sides of their personalities, which really gets showcased in the way they move. I wanted to make sure I captured some of Max’s silly side, because he has these awesome bursts of fun/crazy laughter!

To finish it off, we did a few more with more Katrina and Maxime together, since they are also professional competitors outside of the show. Enjoy!

It is SUCH an honor to receive DIY Weddings Magazine! When we heard the news that Melanie and Chase’s Los Altos History Museum wedding was going to be printed, we did a little (ok, not so little) dance of joy. Seeing it in person is so rewarding!

To see more of Melanie and Chase’s beautiful wedding at this amazing location, check out their wedding photographs. Thanks to Mark at the Los Altos History Museum for an incredible experience and for making their day so special!

We’re always up for fun and quirky ideas, so when Avanti & Sunil told us they wanted to have fun with balloons, we just couldn’t resist! As we walked around our favorite Mountain View park, we decided on the spur of the moment to rent some bicycles… it’d been AGES since I’d ridden one, and it’s true, you don’t forget! We had many many laughs going up and down the small hills, and amazing light, which was perfect for the medium format Mamyia I brought along!

I’m so excited to show you this super fun & creative engagement session! Belen & Brian aren’t just fun… they’re FUN. So we needed a really vibrant, fun and creative way to show off their humor and their personality. There’s nothing like splashing paint all over one another, right?

Enjoy!

Congratulations Jeanette and Nick!
