Dear Digital Friends,
I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and back again, and with the tremendous help of Miraclelabb (my social media gods!!) we have pulled a winner. Actually, two! Congrats to Maria Huddleson and Susan Vander Kooi Hobbs. They will both receive portrait shoots with Zoom Photography. I will be posting the photos after our [...]
5. Chris McDonald- Chris is calm, cool, and collected. Exactly what a bride needs on the day of. Her clients have run the gamut from Allure, Nike, and Sony to now focusing her weekends on gorgeous brides around the Bay. Her skills are impeccable and the results beautiful and totally natural.
4. Jim Avila- If you [...]
Jessica and Ryan are two peas in a pod; athletic, outdoorsy, down to earth, and straight up gorgeous. This couple smiled from ear to ear all day at their stunning Calistoga wedding. Their energy, love, and enthusiasm are infectious!!!
The wedding was a perfect collaboration, as the couple added small & significant touches to the already [...]
5. Chrissy Field or Ocean Beach. There’s nothing better than waking up to sunshine in SF. And one of my fave spots to do so is the ocean with my pup, Blaze.
4. Zeigeist, Motto: “Hangovers installed and serviced!” Love that! This killer hole in the wall brings everyone together on a warm summer night over community picnic [...]

I cannot believe how brilliant Alan Ball (of American Beauty fame) is. The second season of my fave show True Blood has proved to be just as powerful and incredible as the first. I sit on the edge of my seat for the entire 60 minutes. And after its over, I just spin into a daze [...]
5. American Rag on La Brea and Wasteland on Melrose. Being that I went to school in LA, I was well versed at the time in vintage and cheap, cheap, cheap for the pocketbook. The staples remain true and still as hot as ever.
4. The Painted Bird, San Francisco. Of course its cools, its in [...]
After seeing our latest wedding together posted today on SMP, I got inspired to do an interview with Jenne as I have enjoyed each and every opportunity in working with her. Jenne is warm, passionate, creative and kind to all of her clients and vendors. She brings the upmost professionalism to every job and handles [...]
If you haven’t seen it already, SMP has a new look and its gorgeous!! And we can’t thank Abby and her team enough for always being so amazing and kind to us with their coverage. The wedding featured today is from last Fall, Michele and Dave at gorgeous Sebastiani Winery. The wedding was coordinated by [...]
Lauren & Jay met when Lauren was a contractor at Jay’s company. She had plans to move back to Boston, but when Jay asked her out on a date and the company offered her a permanent position, Lauren quickly forfeited the move for the boy! They have been attached at the hip ever since. Jay [...]
5. Don’t register for things you don’t need. Your wedding could be an amazing opportunity to have your guests give to fave charity in your name.
4. Stay local. I know the destination thing is glorious, but having your guests minimize their drive or flight makes all the difference. Plus, you support local businesses in your [...]
