portrait | fern

She’s usually behind the camera, but this time we caught her in front.

We recently celebrated Fern’s birthday with a portrait session last week. Fern has been shooting with Vivian Sachs Photography for a while now and it’s been nothing but smiles having her part of the team 🙂


Happy birthday Fern!!!

engagement | molly + nate

We can’t even begin to say how precious Molly and Nate are. They are both are such free spirits with love emanating from them, for each other and for life. It was meaningful for them to have their session on their boat, Ida, which is where their love story had its beginnings. We always love it when couples choose locations that have special meaning to them because the photos have so much more personal meaning. We know we say this a lot, but get ready to swoon big time for this engagement session!

They are seriously taking the plunge!

And fin.

We’re definitely looking forward to their pig-roast wedding next year!!!

Cheers to the beautiful Molly and her beau

Nate!

Charlie contacted us wanting some photos to commemorate his and Tess’ one year anniversary and, boy, was it a blast! Their pup, Kayla, even joined in on the fun 🙂

Goofy picture and this is what they came up with – just like a photo they had taken when they were both still young. This couple has been together since they were kids – how amazing is that?! – just like the movies 🙂

It was a magical night as we celebrated Sonee and Todd’s wedding in Half Moon Bay. They surprised everyone after their clambake wedding with a flying paper lantern launch and sparklers to rejoice in their union!

wedding | megan + sean

We love details here and this recent wedding at San Francisco’s beautiful city hall was full of colorful details!

The very small and intimate wedding reception dinner took place at Farina Restaurant in the Mission district . The restaurant was vibrant and set the tone for a wonderful evening for a dinner party of about twenty guests.

Congrats to Megan and Sean and their lives together!
