I absolutely love shooting at this outdoor wonderland also known as Saratoga Springs!  It’s got bridges, trees, rocks, streams and dancing under the stars!  This was the first time I have done a morning wedding here and the morning sun coming through the trees did not disappoint!  It was a magical day from start to finish and YangYang and Andre had a blast celebrating with their closest friends and family.  I especially loved their ceremony filled with lots of laughter, a shy flower girl, and a passionate kiss to seal the deal! I wish you two the best!

OH My Goodness, I seriously love these two!  They pretty much sum up everything that the word “Love” means with just one look into each other’s eyes!  They are like two peas in a pod, like butter and popcorn, like wine and cheese…you get the point!  One is just not the same without the other.  I found myself smiling non stop as I photographed these two.  Plus I find their senses of humor to be hilarious!  I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I think they did too!  I could tell that as long as they were holding each other it was as though me and my camera weren’t even there…a huge testament to their relationship!  We had a great time out at Fort Baker one of my favorite photography spots, as well as downtown Sausalito.  Thanks for sharing your time with me and being so easy to photograph!  Can’t wait to do it again in 5 months or so!  Go GT and MIT!

I first met Lindsay through using their wonderful Airbnb in North Beach!  I was pregnant and my whole family got the flu, so my husband thought it best to “exile” me for a bit.  Lindsay’s place just down the street from us, happened to be available and she was so incredibly nice and accommodating! We have a mutual friend and when she found out I was a photographer, booked a family session with me!  It was so fun meeting the rest of her crew!  She and her husband Vince, have the most adorable 19 month old son who rocked the shoot with the help of his toy car and snacks!  I always bring snacks to my shoots too!  Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Sara came as well completing the party 🙂  We had beautiful weather and good times out at Fort Baker.  I am so happy I had the chance to meet these wonderful people and capture their growing family!

This is my 3rd time photographing this beautiful family!  It is so much fun to see how much their girls change and grow each time!  They were so much fun to photograph and hang out with!  They get along like the best of friends too!  We did this session at Lake Merritt in Oakland which turned out to be a great spot due to the woodsy feel, the little beach and the pretty architecture of the bandstand.  Thanks for sharing your Sunday with me and for the Salt Water Taffy too!
