Lafayette Park

City Hall in San Francisco is fabulous, gorgeous, and a great place to exchange vows.   This wedding made me melt!  I was surrounded by beautiful details, a loving family, and a spectacular couple.  And… Erica and Justin got extra lucky because their wedding was the very last one to take place that day, so they had the opportunity to wed on the fourth floor of city hall, which is the most beautiful floor!  Lots of pretty light and privacy!  Afterwards, we strolled through Lafayette park in Pacific Heights for some sweet picture taking and then landed in SOMA at the delicious and romantic french restaurant, Le Charm.

Weddings like this, make me daydream.   Thank you Erica and Justin!!!  PRETTY PRETTY!!!!!

Location: City Hall   San Francisco, CA

I love how excited and in awe the little flower girls get at weddings.  It’s nice to step back from the bride and groom and photograph those cutie patooties.  I typically like to photograph them when they are unaware because the moment they hear “click” they either want to touch my lens or stand still and stare at me as if it was a school portrait being taken.  Here are some of my faves…

Elle and Tito are finally married, which means I can show off some of my favorite images from their wedding day.  I had to keep everything hush hush before the final “married on myspace” episode aired which was quite a challenge when I have pretty pics to share with everyone.  For those that haven’t read my previous blog entry…I photographed a wedding for a reality show in Santa Monica, CA last week.  Elle and Tito trusted MySpace viewers to choose what they wore, the wedding cake, the venue…the WHOLE bit!  I had the opportunity to work with a film crew and The Knot .  As a wedding photographer, I generally work with one videographer and usually I am kindly telling that person to stay out of my way   This was not the case for Elle and Tito’s wedding and I found myself squeezed into spaces that sometimes I could barely fit into.  That photo of Elle in the doorway is an example of not being able to fit into a room to photograph her and making it work anyways…HOT shot!!!  Congrats Elle and Tito…the whole experience was FABULOUS!  Here are some of my favorite pics.  You can view more on MySpace if you like.

i had SO much fun photographing Erin and Mark’s wedding.  they were married in Golden Gate park on a rare sunny day in June in San Francisco, CA.  it was a very personal and authentic ceremony and all the little details that characterize any wedding, were over-the-top quirky and fabulous. vegan food (catered by Chef Stephanie), a bouquet that was a blend of feathers, veggies, and flowers, head pieces and shrugs (designed by medina maitreya) , and a BEAUTIFUL wedding dress (designed by Jinza Couture Bridal)  made this wedding one of my favorites this wedding season.  (oh..and erin..your shoes…I LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!) want to hook your wedding photographer up with some of those for my feet???
