Jen + Gary :: 12/10/22 :: Wedding in Mill Valley

Our last wedding of 2022 and boy oh boy was it a good one (despite the 50+mph winds and pouring rain most of the day).

Jen and Gary tied the knot in a sweet little town just north of the bay, Mill Valley. Their day started with these two getting ready together in their little Airbnb a few miles away from their venue, the Mill Valley Recreation Center. After some details and sweet moments together (gonna vote that EVERY couple gets ready together but that's just me!) we headed over to the venue for some portraits, set up details and family  photos. Before we knew it, it was ceremony time! After one of the quickest (but sweetest!) ceremonies ever, these two were officially official! We headed out for a few more portraits during a break in the rain and then back inside for the party! These two chilled at their cocktail hour for a bit and then were announced into the reception where their guests enjoyed dinner, speeches, cutting of a dessert tart (lol), the dessert bar, parent dances and finally a choreographed first dance! Once the dance floor was open, the party really got poppin' but we managed to steal the newlyweds away for a dramatic final photo at the entrance to the community center. It was a stunning day for a fabulous and fun couple and we are so thankful we got to travel to NorCal and be a part of this day!

Sasha + Brenden :: 6/22/24 :: Wedding in Fullerton

Image
Our first to two weddings this year and boy oh boy was it a good one (despite the unseasonably warm heat!). Sasha and Brenden tied the knot at the stunning Muckenthalar Mansion , just a few miles from our home! Our day with the couple started with their first look, wedding party and couple's portraits. Before we knew it, it was ceremony time. After one of the quickest (but sweetest!) ceremonies ever, featuring a "first shot" of tequila, these two were officially official! After family photos and some detail shots it was time to party. During the reception their guests enjoyed dinner, speeches, cake cutting, parent dances and creating a custom work of abstract art for the couple to hang in their home! Once the dance floor was opened with a giant group shot, we stole the couple away for some magical golden hour photos at the end of our time with them. A beautiful end for a stunning day!

Cherie & Max :: 4/9/2022 :: Wedding in Los Angeles

Another postponed wedding couple that finally got to have their day! YAYYYYYY! This was the most wonderful pink wedding of my dreams and every detail was off the charts!  Their venue, Ruby Street in Highland Park,  was a perfect setting to apply all their incredible colorful touches and to have a fun, beautiful day! We started out with Cheri's details and getting ready at the venue. After Cherie had donned her incredible pink and sparkly Lazaro gown and Max was all suited up in his custom pink suit, these two shared their first look!  After some more photos around the venue and meeting up with their wedding party, it was finally time for their sweet and short ceremony. Can we talk about the DIY ribbon arch for a second? These two created it themselves and knocked it out of the park ! Their wonderful ceremony was filled with laughter, personal vows, exchange of rings, a hand fasting ceremony and finally these two were officially mar...

Yasmin & Kaitlyn :::: Newlywed Session in Joshua Tree

Image
Back in November, I put out a model call in the SBSN Facebook group offering free sessions for LGBTQ+ couples to add more beautiful couples to our portfolio that reflect our beliefs as LGBTQ+ allies! Yasmin was one of the first to respond and we planned this amazing golden hour session in Joshua Tree with her and her beautiful wife Kaitlyn! These two were such troopers in the wind and the cold and we got some amazing photos in this amazing place. The love and energy between them is electric and that even came through with a few static shocks that Yasmin gave Kaitlyn when I gave them a cheek kiss prompt! So cute! We can't wait to see more of their adventures and follow their family grow throughout the years. Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!
