.andy and sarah.

i have so much to say about this wedding, but i will try to keep it reader's digest for you...

sarah and andy are such warm and wonderful people. they show love in everything they do -- from the way they incorporated all their friends and family into their wedding to the way they look at each other.

andy constructed the coolest thing i have seen since i started shooting weddings 6 years ago -- an audio booth. that is right -- not a photo booth, but a place for your guests to tell a story or send you best wishes. it was the perfect example of how they wanted their day to be about all people they love not just the two of them.

the images below are mostly from my take but i was having a really rough day -- food poisoning. thank GOD for the back-up photographers that came with me to save my butt (heehee). the images of the couple on the ferry are from emily becker who was the superhero of the day and totally rocked the camera --another huge thank you to you em.

ok -- trying to wrap it up here....

the space, the people, the love, the fog, the taxidermy mice, the mexican bus, the flowers, the stories... i will remember this day for a very long long time.

sarah & andy

a few of my favorites in the city....

Here are a few place you have to check out:

Stumasa -- www.stumasa.com Super cute handmade furniture -- bought all my shelves and little cubes for my office and son's room. I left them all natural wood but they have the option of staining or painting as well.

Also has the best little gift items for kids and babies. Wooden, organic and a little crunchy (LOVE it!). Jack has gotten a few little gifts from there which he adores.

Cool stuff for adults too -- letterpress stamps, sleek wooden photo albums, modern lamps and all sorts of cool things. A great place to go even if it's just to get inspired!

Balboa theater on Balboa Sreet --

Great spot to catch a flick in the foggy Richmond (my hood). Best Popcorn and Tea selections -- REAL BUTTER baby!! Nice old school theater... but maybe not the place to go see a huge mega blockbuster. Sounds system and seating are -- let's just say... vintage, but to me that is part of the charm.

more to come....

my new bff (s) ;)!
my new friends

this rad little girl loves the beatles as much as i do... she won my heart over immediately. the twins were as cute as can be too and joined in our beatlesfest dance party. ended the shoot with nothing else but a handful or mouthful... or bucketful of goldfish :).

love meeting new bffs!

here's a sneak peek from denise and chip's big day. i fell in love with the fire truck and denise looked sooo stunning!!

the wedding took place at the hastings house in half moon bay -- the fog was perfect and gardens were beautiful.

i rode on the side of the fire truck to the reception which was a fun first for me -- i am such a nut.

denise and chip are great together and i am so thankful to have been there to document their sweet day. you guys are the best!
