For my first wedding of 2011, I had the pleasure of documenting the day of Bonnie and Vincent, who bravely endured the cold and drizzle, because while the weather can let you down…love never fails! The day started at a hotel in San Ramon, where Bonnie was getting ready. Because a Chinese wedding involves many…
Serious style and a grandé guestlist – that’s a good way to describe this Rockabilly wedding. Officially, the SF City Hall website says that no more than six guests are allowed to attend the ceremony, but Sarah and Phil don’t live by the rules! Sarah arrived draped in fur, and Phil sported a terrific top…

After a civil ceremony at San Francisco City Hall, and a colorful wedding in India, Beth and Udai were finally able to bring their families together for a California wedding celebration at the Berkeley City Club. Designed by architect Julia Morgan and built in 1929, this Moorish- and Gothic-style venue was the perfect match for…
The Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) parade in the Mission is one of my favorite San Francisco events. This City really comes alive between August and October, and this is a beautiful and intimate way to celebrate those who have passed, as well as to come down from the manic energy of…
