If I had to choose one place in Golden Gate Park that feels as if you've stepped into a magical story book garden it would be the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. Add a room full of butterflies emerging daily from their cocoons and I think the magic might even be doubled. What that all comes down to is it's a truly amazing and gorgeous space to explore, make pictures, and celebrate a wedding. Especially Zona and Eric's wedding. These two were so easy to be around, it's as if we had been friends for a very long time. I always think the personalities of the couple sets the vibe for the wedding, and Zona and Eric, who were super relaxed and conscientious of their guests, set a great mood for their wedding. Photographing their celebration was such a treat for us! Thanks so much for having us and we wish you so much laughter and love!

Nancy and Eric's engagement session was more of a family outing than a photo shoot. They wanted to take photos with their dog, Royce, but because he wasn't allowed in the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, Nancy's sister Helen and her boyfriend Tony came along to watch the little pup, and they simultaneously provided styling help and a big heart balloon bouquet.
Anyone who plans an outdoor wedding in San Francisco in April is keeping their fingers crossed to have the weather gods on their side. Well, it was actually lightly raining about an hour before Prairie and Andris' wedding in the Shakespeare Garden of Golden Gate Park, and the weather seemed farthest from their minds. These two are world travelers as they both work for international non-profits, (Andris was unexpectedly sent to the West Bank just days before the wedding), so I should've known that a little rain wouldn't have fazed them. As an observer, you could just sense their excitement and happiness for what was to come, and in the moments leading up to their ceremony, the drizzle stopped, giving way to one of the sweetest ceremonies we've witnessed. Adm and I had so much fun photographing these two, who have such a pleasant and easygoing aura about them. We wish them loads of happiness as they continue their adventure together, now as husband and wife.
