Though we didn’t know it at the time, we first met Amanda & Mark on the night they got engaged. We were in Charleston, SC capturing the wedding weekend of Amanda’s cousin and they arrived at the rehearsal dinner just minutes after Mark had proposed. It was so fun to get to know them over the course of that weekend and we were so excited when they contacted us about coming out to their home in New Jersey to capture their beautiful wedding day. Amanda & Mark are both sweet and generous people, qualities that run in their families as well. There was torrential rain for much of this day, but it just made the warmth and joy of this celebration feel all the brighter. We hope you enjoy a few of our favorite moments from the day. Congrats again to this special pair!

Tina + Patrick – Married | Point Bonita Lighthouse, CA

pinthis

This was one of the sweetest and most intimate wedding celebrations we’ve had an opportunity to document. When you first meet Tina & Patrick you can immediately tell what kind and generous people they are and you can see that they share a really special connection. For their wedding, in true San Francisco fashion, the morning brought a steady and chilly wind and lots of fog. In spite of the weather, however, their family enthusiastically hauled all the blankets, decorations, refreshments and other things they needed down the winding path, through the 118 foot access tunnel in the solid rock face of the cliff and all the way out to the lighthouse.

Tina & Patrick chose Point Bonita lighthouse as the stunning location for their celebration, which also made this one of the most unique and breathtakingly beautiful spots we’ve had a chance to document a wedding. They were able to reserve the entire lighthouse (which is part of a national park) just to themselves and their family members. The fact that we were the only people there gave this whole morning a pristine and almost magical feel. The lighthouse itself is stunning and is only connected to the mainland by a 150ft suspension bridge, which stretches out over the ocean waves that church 125 feet below. It is an amazing place.

It ended up being absolutely the perfect setting for these two to celebrate the start of their new journey together, and everyone was full of so much joy and was having so much fun that no one really noticed the wind and cold. We loved capturing this day and we hope you enjoy some of our favorite moments!

Sabrina + Mike – Engaged | Point Reyes Nat’l Seashore, CA

pinthis

Tucked away at the end of a road that winds for miles through pristine pastures and windswept hills is the beautiful and historic Pierce Point Ranch. Flanked on one side by the Pacific Ocean and on the other by Tamales Bay, the ranch’s whitewashed buildings feel relatively untouched by time and the urban centers nearby. This spot holds a special place in the hearts of Sabrina & Mike because it was on a hike from this very spot that mike proposed. That made meeting them here for their session even more meaningful, and the fog that rolled in gave everything a fun and ethereal (and uniquely Northern California) feel. Their kindness, laughter and chemistry together brought so much warmth and color to this chilly afternoon, and it will be so much fun to tell the story of their wedding day later this fall. Here are a few favorites!

Erica + Chris – Engaged | Fern Canyon, CA

pinthis

We love a good adventure, which is why it was so exciting when Erica & Chris mentioned they wanted to take a road trip up the secluded Redwood Coast to explore Fern Canyon for their engagement session. Fern Canyon is an amazing spot, tucked away in the ancient redwood forest of extreme northern CA. A quiet creek has carved out the canyon over eons, and a lush covering of giant ferns cover the canyon walls, which at some points tower as high as 80ft overhead. The whole area is so prehistoric looking it’s not hard to imagine a dinosaur lurking among the giant ferns, or a perplexed scientist saying something like “This shouldn’t be here. . . Alan, this species of veriforman’s been extinct since the Cretaceous period. . .”

In addition to the amazing location, Erica & Chris are just plain nice, generous and fun-loving people. They traversed the logs, stream, mosquitos and some unexpected surprises with ease and laughter and made this afternoon such a fun and enjoyable adventure. Here are a few of our favorite moments — we hope you enjoy!
