1. Remember when Jon proposed to Natalie with a flash mob in the middle of Maiden Lane in SF? Well, the full story is featured on The Lovely Bay wedding blog today, along with the engagement session we did at the Japanese Tea Garden! Get your tissues ready… that video is gonna make you weepy (with joy, of course!)

  2. This past weekend, my husband and I went on a little road trip to Southern California for my sister’s USC graduation. There’s nothing quite like driving on Highway 1 along the California coast.

  3. Kelli and Andy’s romance began when they met at a bowling alley and realized that they both were pretty bad at it. For their engagement session, we chose to shoot at the iconic and beautiful Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. See more from the shoot here.

  4. Meet little Alyssa! She’s eight days old here and just plain adorable! I’m so happy I finally got to meet her and am looking forward to watching her grow up. Congratulations Natalie and Jon!

  5. Currently living in Austin, Texas, Ashley and Bryan celebrated their engagement last month in Napa and are planning their wedding here as well. So it was only fitting that this sweet nature-loving couple would fly out again to beautiful wine country for their engagement session. From the stylish outfits (gotta check out ASOS for that rocking pink dress!) to the one-of-a-kind location (complete with an old trailer!) hidden away off a mountain road in St. Helena, Ashley and Bryan were so much fun to photograph. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next spring! See more from the engagement session here.

  6. Laura and Ryan tied the knot this past Saturday in beautiful Stinson Beach! See more from my sneak preview here.

  8. On Sunday, I hung out with little Noelle and her big brother Nathan and their parents for a little family shoot in their home. Nathan is full of energy and clearly loves his sister (choke hold hugs, anyone?). Noelle is a cutie and really looks up to her big brother (anything Nathan does, Noelle would do too!) What a great pair of kids!

  9. If you remember Anna and Collin from their engagement shoot, then you’ll know just how in love they are. That love multiplied 100 times over on their wedding day last month. Anna and Collin were married at the beautiful Mont La Salle hidden in the Napa hills. The party continued at the Yountville Community Center where guests dined on tacos and cake pops. Memorable moments from the day included: Anna’s father gave one of the most touching “giving away” speeches during the ceremony, traditional Arab dancing in honor of Anna’s grandfather, and the FABULOUS purple getaway car that the couple zoomed off in at the end of the night. See more from their wedding here.

  10. Summer and Herbert love spending time in Napa so it was the perfect backdrop for their engagement shoot. The afternoon started with milkshakes and fries at Gott’s and ended at Bouchon with a few scenic stops along the way. We found the perfect tree-lined road that Summer was looking for and had a little picnic at the park though the mosquitoes put a quick end to that! (No one talks about the bug aspect of all the beautiful nature photos you see on blogs!) I had such a great time hanging out with these two! See more from the shoot here.
