Piedmont Private Home Wedding // Katie + Nick

Alison May 8, 2014

You couldn't have asked for a more perfect Bay Area day for Katie and Nick's wedding last summer.  Everything took place at Nick's parents' home, and the views of the Bay were spectacular all day long, but then, the sun went down, and somehow it became even more breathtaking.  Situated above the twinkling lights of Oakland and San Francisco, it was as if Katie and Nick and their guests were in their own dream world, dancing above the city, far away from reality.  Actually, these two seemed to be in their own world throughout - even though they have been together since they were 15, they couldn't keep their eyes off one another all night.

Lowe House Creative

Alison April 28, 2014

Meet Elizabeth, Alyssa and Morgan - the lovely ladies behind Lowe House Creative!  It’s no secret that we *hella* love Oakland, and Elizabeth and her team are definitely some of Oakland's finest.  They are exceptional wedding planners - we actually think they're so rad that we're putting them in charge of our own wedding.  Here's a little peek into their business, which is run out of Elizabeth's super adorable house.

Kara + Jeremy Engagement

Alison April 16, 2014

The only time I fancy myself a writer is when I do these blog posts.  Here I am sitting at my desk, spinning tales of weddings and engagements and sharing all the fun we have with our couples in just a few sentences.  Kara is actually a writer, and when she sits down to write, she is not pretending.  The first time I met her (back in 2008), I had the chance to listen to her read one of her stories, and let's just say, I think I'll stick with photography.

Kim + Josh Wedding

Cambria Elopement // Kim + Josh

Alison April 8, 2014

I met Josh during my freshman year at UNC - we actually lived in the same dorm, and we spent a lot of time hanging out during college.  Even though he's from North Carolina, he moved out to California right after graduation, and that helped us keep in touch over the years.  It also means that Adm and I have been able to get to know Kim these last five years or so that they've been together, and these two make such a great couple.

Mill Valley Art Club Wedding // Rachel + Chris

Alison April 1, 2014

Rachel and Chris' wedding was so much fun because it was so obvious how much they're loved.  We love it when weddings are filled with people who are the biggest champions of the couple getting married because there are so many moments and emotion for us to photograph.  Not only are these two incredibly close with their families (just look at Rachel's dad as he's walking her down the aisle), but they also have an incredible group of close friends.  It was such an honor for us to be part of their wedding - Congratulations, Rachel and Chris!

Yesterday was a tough one navigating multiple cancellations and postponements.  Lining up all the same vendors for new dates is a logistical nightmare and we are doing our very best to accommodate our clients as much as possible. 
In case this i Hi πŸ‘‹πŸ½! Remember me?! I’ve taken a (much needed) break from social media so I’m popping in to say hey!  Consistency is definitely my number one problem when it comes to posting and when things like the election and coronavirus happen soc Wowowowowowowow!  We’re definitely still recovering from our whirlwind 72 hours in Florida for Jamie and Ryan’s incredible wedding but what a wedding it was!  Or rather, dance party.  You guys, there was SO.MUCH.DANCING.  I guess I should These two are getting hitched this weekend!  Pretty pumped to be in Florida for their wedding! πŸ˜Žβ˜€οΈ #alisonyinweddings Such a fun portrait session with Amber and Sean. They had a break between their ceremony and reception so we had plenty of time to stop off at a beautiful park to take some photos.
#alisonyinweddings One of my favorite frames from Amber and Sean’s wedding a couple of weeks ago.  Great light + color + framing + her smile = πŸ‘ŒπŸ½. We’ve lagged on doing story sneaks for our last few weddings but it’s no longer the holidays and it&rs
