Engagement | Kelsey & Bryce | San Francisco, California

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!

Engagement | Ben & Melissa | Roaming San Francisco

admin — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:15:32 +0000

It’s always a pleasure to go wandering about San Francisco… but when Ben and Melissa agreed to face the rain, I got excited. I know, I know… you’d think, duck! But no – with rain comes incredible, dramatic skies, and unlimited potential for creative shots. It was incredible fun to get rained on, and our daredevil attitude had a huge payoff: one of the most jaw-dropping sunsets I’ve EVER experienced. And here we are…

Wedding | Tina & Tiny | Los Altos History Museum

We were super excited to photograph Tina & Tiny’s wedding, first of all because it’s Tina & Tiny, but also because we got to return to the Los Altos History Museum, which is a gorgeous wedding location! The Los Altos History Museum has a ranch feeling and every time I return, I see a whole new different angle I’d never seen before. So, without further ado… enjoy!

Engagement | Linh & Jerome | Napa in the rain, California

admin — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 05:46:15 +0000

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,

XXX Caroline

Wedding | Clara & Peter | Nestldown, Los Gatos, California

admin — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 06:02:47 +0000

We’ve been fans of Nestldown for a while now, so when Clara and Peter decided to choose Nestldown for their wedding venue, we swooned a little. The beautiful property is right off the 17 highway and feels like you’re in the heart of the Santa Cruz mountains, when in fact, you’re technically in Los Gatos. There are many gorgeous angles to Nestldown, from the dream cottage, to the pond, to the lake by the ceremony site… but let’s not forget the main attraction: the redwood trees. Nestldown is hidden in a sea of redwood trees; getting married there feels like you own a piece of Muir Woods!

There is a touch of luxury at every point of the wedding day, from the old English car (stick shift! Left handed!) that drives you to the ceremony site, to the mini train you hop on for your grand entrance at the reception. Nestldown is just a feast to the eyes and a completely unique experience. We a lot of fun with great DJ’ing at the end of the night, with blasts of colors from everywhere. Thank you Clara and Peter for having us and congratulations!

Nestldown is located at 22420 Old Santa Cruz Highway Los Gatos, CA 95033. For more information about the venue and for availability, visit www.nestldown.com

Celebrity portrait: Maxime Dereymez

admin — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 21:45:55 +0000

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!
