Weddings and portraits in Northern California, including San Francisco, East Bay, Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley

Chris and Alisha made pure magic in west Marin county.  We fell in love instantly during our first visit to Alisha’s hometown of Tomales.  During the engagement shoot, the home next to her mothers (built in the 1890s) went up for sale, and Shan and I made came just shy of placing a bid on that house.  They were married in the backyard of the house where Alisha grew up.  We then walked all the way across town (a total of three blocks) to the old town hall, where they had their reception.  Among the highlights were the band The Brothers Comatose, who brought a serious dose of bluegrass to the festivities.  Shan also found the  walk-up candy counter to be right up her alley.  The sweetest touch were the old typewriters set up where people could leave their well wishes to Alisha and Chris.  Many thanks to Sara, who introduced Alisha and Chris to us!

Miss Poppy is all about playing.  With baby brother or sister on the way, she’s very excited to teach the new arrival her moves.

Shayna and Mike thought Tilden Park in the Berkeley Hills would create some nice backdrops.  They thought right!
