Chris and Angela's Beautiful Wedding at Windmill Winery

 Chris and Angela's wedding was perfect at the Windmill Winery!  Misti and I had such a great time photographing this wedding.  Everything was right on time and the weather was beautiful.  Just a little side note:  Windmill Winery is a little bit of a drive for me, but I think the venue is worth it.  Plus Misti and I get a little girlfriend time during the drive and talk, talk, talk.  I would love to share with you Chris and Angela's story in Angela's words.



Chris and I met at Whole Foods in San Francisco, he was a security guard and I was a cashier. This nice security guard kept helping me put away baskets and would even walk me to the bus stop every night to make sure I got on the bus safely :). Eventually he got the nerve to ask for my phone number and the rest was history! We explored San Francisco together and eventually as a couple became involved with our church. February of 2013 Chris moved to Phoenix to pursue his police career, and for almost a year we did long distance and in December of 2013 Chris came to San Francisco to celebrate Christmas a little early. He surprised me on our favorite beach in Half Moon Bay, CA by proposing at sunset, afterwards we had a wonderful dinner and celebrated with champagne by the huge Christmas tree at the Ritz Carleton. 

Hope you enjoy scrolling through the pictures as much as I enjoyed photographing Chris and Angela's wedding.

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun

~George and Catherine~

Image
I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti
