Kat+Randy | Julia Morgan Ballroom Wedding Photography in San Francisco

I’m so glad Kathleen and Randy found me to document their wedding at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco. They are really funny people with some really fun friends. I loved being able to throughout the entire day while photographing them. As many of you have guessed by now, I love the city of San Francisco! I’m always thrilled to be there when I have the chance. Especially if in such a beautiful wedding venue like the Julia Morgan Ballroom.  Here are a few of my favorite frames from Kat and Randy’s wedding.

A very special thank you to Sam Vannahsopha for coming out to help me with this. Couldn’t have done it without you my friend.

This was my first time documenting a Mormon wedding.  I was not allowed into the temple, but I’m glad I was able to capture the couples excitement after their ceremony! Sonoma Wedding Photographer_0004 Sonoma Wedding Photographer_0005 Sonoma Wedding Photographer_0006 Sonoma Wedding Photographer_0010

I love this private moment between the bride and the groom. They were preparing for the reception at their parent’s home and had some time to relax before making their grand entrance.

Romi+BG Ritz Carlton Wedding | Half Moon Bay Wedding Photography

When Romi and BG first contacted me about documenting their wedding, I got pretty excited. In our initial phone conversation, they told me they wanted photos that were not normal. None of that cheesy stuff with photos of cute details and fake kisses. They wanted photos that celebrated their authenticity and the relationship they have with each other as well as with their friends and family. I knew immediately we would be a perfect match. This is exactly what I strive to do at every single wedding. But it really takes the right couple to understand the value of these types photos. It was so much fun being around these two! I’m so excited to showcase a few photos from this wedding. The wedding ceremony and reception was held at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay. It was such a beautiful venue. Despite the wet weather, Romi and BG  embraced it and were down to take some portraits on the beach. It made for some awesome frames. It was great! Congrats to Romi and BG who are expecting their first son!

Here are some of my favorites from the wedding day.

I want to also give a super special shout out to my assistant Sam V, who totally rocked this wedding!  He covered the guys prepping and I’m super impressed with what he captured.
