Bay Area and Los Angeles wedding and portrait photographer

Ray & Heidi had a gorgeous wedding at Beaulieu Garden, a private estate and vineyard in the lush Napa Valley landscape.
It was such a pleasure to be able to shoot this wedding with Josef Isayo, an insanely talented photographer from Southern California.

One thing I love about weddings is how different cultures each have beautiful and unique traditions and customs related to the wedding day.
This was my first opportunity to shoot a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony for Ray & Heidi’s beautiful Napa Valley wedding. And it was lovely watching the exchange of tea and blessings and gifts. Heidi also made it extra special by wearing the same traditional Chinese dress that her Mom wore for her own wedding.
More of of Ray & Heidi’s Napa wedding coming soon!

What a fabulous wedding ceremony to be able to photograph. I especially like your ‘detail’ photographs!
There are lots of things I love in this life. Photography (obviously!), good food, great friends, handwritten notes, dancing, traveling, eating unhealthy snacks at 1:00 in the morning, etc.
But sometimes I think that all these loves that I have in my life are eclipsed by the singular love for my beautiful dogs.
It really doesn’t make any sense. My Lizzie, a gorgeous 2 year old Korean Jindo spends most of her day chewing up phone cords and paperback books and when she’s not wrecking havoc she just sleeps. And sleeps. And sleeps some more. But I can’t help it! I love that lazy, chew-happy dog to pieces. And my male Jindo, Charles has learned to vertically scale walls and climb trees like a cat and in this way, regularly escapes from the back yard to go roaming around the neighborhood. Many hours have been spent with me tearing through the streets of Suburbia, leash in hand as I try and corner Charlie as he runs through the neighbor’s front lawns. But again, I can’t help but love the crazy dog. What can I say, the cuteness just melts my heart.
So here’s to my beautiful babies. If nothing else, they sure make my life more interesting.
