    Busy, Busy! {Sneak Peeks + Out Of Office}

    Holy Moly September and October have been hectic to say the least. It’s always a crazy time of year with getting geared up for the holiday season and because fall is the new summer when it comes to weddings. We’ve shot 6 weddings in 6 weeks and have two more this month. We are so excited about the 4 weddings we have left for our 2009 season. I can hardly believe it, but we have MORE THAN HALF of our 2010 dates sold and are no long taking commissions for the month of June 2010. We only have one available weekend each in May and July 2010 as well. Thank you to all of my amazing couples for being so freaking awesome and for having us be a part of this great time in your lives together.

    I know my cute couples from the last couple of weeks are anxiously awaiting their images, so I have a couple sneak peeks for you guys. First the ever lovely Natasha and Stetson followed by the fantastic Jill and Jacob.

    I can’t wait to share more of these lovely wedding with you guys! They are so fabulous!

    Also, I wanted to let you all know that I am out of the office for the rest of the week. I am shooting a fabulous fundraiser for the Rainforest Action Network tonight in San Francisco, and then a wedding in San Ramon and a family session for some of my most favorite people in the universe. I will be back in the office on Monday to return emails and phone calls and all that goodness. Thanks again to everyone for making 2009 so freaking great and for giving me so much to look forward to in 2010! See you on Monday! Have a great weekend!

    Allyson and Ben are flat out ADORABLE! I am SO excited that they are our first 2010 wedding. They are going to set an awesome tone for next year. Heck, they already have with this beautiful engagement session! We had so much fun cruising around downtown while they were in town a couple weeks ago. It’s funny that when we shot this is was about 100 degrees out and now I’m so cold I have slippers and a scarf on. But even though the heat was relentless these two totally worked it out. It was a blast!

    Aren’t they the cutest?!?! I adore them and so excited for their wedding. Check out their SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below and prepare yourself for a whole lotta love. Thanks Allyson and Ben for being so rad it hurts! See you soon!!!

    karen and tim {wedding}


    Karen and Tim are a couple with impeccable tastes. They have great taste in food, wine and most definitely in friends. They were married on September 19th at St. Francis Church and then had a wonderful cocktail reception at Mulvany’s Building and Loan. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding that Dustin and I were so happy to be a part of. I loved all of the little details Karen and Tim incorporated into their day. It was fabulous!

    I love this picture Dustin took of Tim as he was getting ready to go to the church.

    How cute are Karen and Tim’s daughters? Seriously, they had the whole church cracking up as they came down the aisle.

    Then it was time for some pictures before we headed over to the party!

    And then we were off to Mulvany’s for a wonderful party with a very fun group of very funny people. Karen and Tim encouraged a laid back atmosphere and kept formalities to a minimum. It was great fun to be amid a group of friends who so obviously loved Karen and Tim and were so happy for them. It made for one heck of a great time!

    Thanks to Karen and Tim for being so delightful and letting us be a part of your fantastic wedding celebration. We are so happy for you! Check out more from their wedding in the SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below.
