Rocco {Dog Photography}

Before I did this photo shoot with Rocco, Christine was telling me how she really just simply "loves looking at his face" and I know this isn't any sort of groundbreaking sentiment, but I just keep thinking about what a great sentiment it is- that we can get so much happiness just from looking at someone's face. That's a pretty nice little gift in life.





Rocco is Christine's baby number One. Baby number Two was on the way when we took these pictures a few months ago.




My favorite shot. I love Dan's look of defeat as he tired of trying to get Rocco to do what they wanted him to do.

Sneak peek for Ellen and Ted {Wedding Photography}

Ted and Ellen got married two weeks ago at Nestldown and, plain and simple: I heart Ellen and Ted. They are so very nice. And they have impeccable taste in venue sites. And wedding dresses. And spouses.

Maria and Bryan {Wedding Photogaphy} in San Francisco

Two days before the wedding at Beaulieu Gardens I just posted about, Maria and Bryan had a super small ceremony at St. Peter and Paul's here in North Beach with just their immediate family . . . and us :)

Maria and Bryan {Wedding Photography} at Beaulieu Gardens in Rutherford

Maria and I have been so excited to share these photos from Maria and Bryan's wedding up in Rutherford a few months ago. Not only was the location amazing, but it is always a treat when we get to do our job for people we already know and care about. It just feels that much more special to be part of the day!









Love this one of Papa C watching his daughter get ready.

Mr. Castellucci was honoring his wife during his toast and she got a little shy about the whole thing.

Lily and Andrew {wedding photography} in Alexander Valley

I'm not even gonna try to be diplomatic here; I'm just gonna be bold :) Lily and Andrew had the best details of any wedding we've photographed this year! These guys got married at Lily's parent's Ranch and every single friggin' thing was adorable. This blog post doesn't even begin to show a fraction of the degree to which they made everything perfect, matching and gingham.
Horse-drawn hay-rides, a million pieces of letter-pressed collateral, a swimming pond, six different types of lemonade, complimentary flip flops & Pashminas, and probably almost as many flowers as are in the Rose Parade, plus a whole lot of adoring love for one another to top it all off!
