Wow I love that photograph on the stone wall in front of the fountain (or at least it looks like a fountain).
Dannnnnng. So jealous of the long veil! I want to photograph one soooo bad!
These are gorgeous – looks like an awesome day. The shot in front of the fountain with the lights is so cool.
Great wedding photography, Hannah! I love the shot in front of that lighted fountain or whatever it is. 
Great colours at their reception, too.
The color in your photos is so vibrant and beautiful. Nice work!
Love the attention to detail and color these have. Very nice work
Oh wow! The getting ready shots are fab. Love the post processing!
Another beautiful wedding set. My favorites are the first dance photos. Gorgeous wedding!
Whoa, that shot in front of the fountain…excellent. I love that Hollywood pic with the detail shot of the ring as well.
LOVE the image of the bride surrounded by her bridesmaids. Great contrast of color and lighting. These are amazing images!
A quick preview of the wedding I shot this past weekend at the London West Hollywood. Isn’t the bride just gorgeous?
Full post coming soon!

Last Thursday as I was doing the drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles for the billionth time (quick tidbit, I’ve driven up and down, to and from LA and SF so many times that I’ve racked up enough miles to have circled the circumference of the world!) I took a detour to spend a few hours shooting with Susie Linquist at a lovely wedding at Nestldown, a stunningly gorgeous and fairytale-esque private residence tucked away in the redwood filled mountains of Los Gatos.
How cute are these kids?
I love the steps leading down to the ceremony site. A great way to make an entrance.

Over Labor Day Weekend, I got to shoot my first San Francisco wedding at the lovely Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park with another Los Angeles native, Henry Chen of Henry Chen Photography.
I really love small intimate garden weddings. And the Shakespeare Garden had an English charm about it.
The bride getting ready:
The ceremony site, with lots of lovely little details. The bride and her bridesmaids had a moss party and made those moss ball decorations by hand!
Bubbles! Tossing flower petals is nice, but bubbles are whimsical and beautiful. A great way to top off a ceremony.
We went to the Japanese Tea Garden, another beautiful location within the Golden Gate Park to do some bride and groom portraits.
And then headed on to gorgeous Tiburon for a intimate reception dinner.
Kenneth and Lulu were so thoughtful of their guests with individualized jars to act as drinking cups for the night, pots of rosemary, basil and other herbs to take home as favors, and a candy bar!
They also had a talented silhouette artist come in and make silhouette cut outs for all the guests. How neat is that?

That’s so beautiful. I love their little details.
Love the bubble photo. Great job with the detail and portrait shots of the bride and groom.
the bubble shot is maybe the best I’ve ever seen! great job!
Wow the silhouette artist is really cool….how long does it take her to do each one! These pictures are the reason I want to be burried in the Napa/Bay area….what a gorgeous area to be able to photograph weddings each week!
Brilliant / colorful images of your wedding photography.
gosh your wedding photography is simply stunning!
Lovely photos. You have a great eye for details.
I have to stop looking… I’m so envious! Gorgeous couples, beautiful locations, oh my!
These are gorgeous.
Hello! I came across your site while searching for SF venues, and I just had to feature your work on my wedding blog. Here’s the link and thanks for such beautiful photos!
Hi Hannah! I must say, those photos are very inspiring. Reminds me of my wedding five years ago. My wife just looked stunning, especially that the photos seemed like it was just yesterday. Do you do your own website hosting? I think it would be a great help if you contact a good private label SEO service provider which would contribute to the success of your business. I heard these sorts of strategies are effective online marketing techniques. Anyway, good luck on your business! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your works.
beautiful photography. who made that cake?
Bubbles, bubbles bubbles. What can I say? The wedding concept is brilliantly carried out. The cake looks delectably delicious in the photo. Whoever made that cake is a true master of his craft.

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!
