    Shannon and Cliff {wedding}


    Shannon and Cliff had their super delightful wedding last Monday in San Francisco at the stunning Cliff House. Yes, that’s right they got married on a Monday. I’m a fan of weekday weddings (we are shooting three this year, and I LOVE IT!) This wedding was just lovely! We started off with Shannon and Cliff’s first look. They were really, really cute.

    Then we grabbed some portraits of the bridal party and our happy couple… because that’s the beauty of a First Look! You get to do all the fun stuff when there is plenty of pretty light! Hooray!

    And then it was ceremony time! The yummy sunset over the ocean ceremony made me extremely happy.

    Shannon and Cliff has a beautiful reception full of delightful details. I loved the tropical, beachy theme.

    Shannon and Cliff also had sparklers! I love sparklers, and Dustin love’s long exposure photographs… it was basically a match made in heaven.

    Congratulations to Shannon and Cliff! We are so happy for you, and so grateful to have been a part of your beautiful wedding. Check out more images in their SLIDESHOW HERE or below.

    Karen and Eric {eSession}


    Karen and Eric are delightful… like the kind of people you could spend hours laughing with over dinner. The kind of people you just like hanging out with. Dustin and I had a great time hanging out with them last week in San Francisco. Eric is a native San Franciscan, and it was lovely having him navigate our way through the city. We started out in Golden Gate park at the DeYoung Museum because let’s be honest, I just love that place.

    Karen has the best laugh! Seriously, one of those contagious laughs that make you feel awesome, and like EVERYTHING is funny. She is like this ball of sunshine, and even though it was freezing a gray she brightened up the shoot with all that laughter. I can’t wait to see her as a bride… it’s going to be a very happy day indeed!

    One of my favorite things about Golden Gate Park is how there is this wilderness just right in the middle of this city. All of this green, beautifulness. I love it.

    Karen and Eric thank you so much for a delightful afternoon! You two are fantastic and we can’t wait for your wedding in just a few short weeks! Hooray! Check out their the SLIDESHOW HERE or below.
