Dachelle and Thomas Wedding @ Ukiah Ca

A bilingual wedding YAY!..I love traditional Catholic weddings and this one was special. This wedding was totally bilingual: The ceremony, music, the traditions etc. Every one was so nice and it was nice to travel North instead of South this time.




Julie and Alex wedding @ Vignette Vintage Ranch Los Gatos CA

That day the traffic was crazy from Santa Rosa ca all the way to Los Gatos CA. but it was so worth it. The wedding was gorgeous and everyone was having a blast. This is one of my favorite weddings and I am so glad I was part of such a special celebration.





Ronny and Sean's wedding @ Paradise Ridge Winery, Santa Rosa CA

Ronny is one of my first clients. I did her engagement pictures, her family pictures, and her boudoir pictures. She is such a sweet girl. I was super excited to be the photographer for her wedding because I know a lot of her family members. It was so much fun...

My first Indian wedding

When I first got Framida's email I was super excited to photograph my first Indian wedding. Then when I met her I told her "omg you are gorgeous I want a million pictures of you". She was really busy with the traditional wedding and with the guests, however they posed for us for a few mintures right before we photographed about 60 groups of people :)

A Sonoma Ca wedding @ Downtown

Another rainy and cold day. After the ceremony which took place in a Hotel/restaurant located in downtown Sonoma I told my clients to go for a walk with me. They said ok just for a few minutes because we want to chat and eat with our guests. Right across the street was a train. I was so excited, so we went there right away. Jennifer was looking fabulous and so did Paul. I told them 'make it fun' and that is exactly what they did. After the portraits we got to go home and I took my friend to eat a delicious dinner.


A Rancho Nicasio Winter wedding

I did my last wedding of 2010 in September and I was exausted so I took a break from weddings and concentrated in something new: Senior photography. My fall was faboulos and I got to meet so many Seniors that experience was fantastic I had so much fun. Anyways, this is 2011 and I was ready to do Wedding photography again so, I booked 2 weddings right away during the first week of February. One for the 19 and one for the 26 wow what a challenge. My dear friend Larry and myself drove to a new and exciting location: Rancho Nicacio in Marin Co. It was cold and it was raining. Everyone wanted to be indoors but I told them to 'please' pose for my outdoors. Pretend you are not cold'' Paul said to the kids, specially the girls who were using dresses. It was a fun winter party.

Rancho Wikiup is a beautiful place located North of Santa Rosa ca. This nice family from Oakland ca rented the Rancho for the wedding and we used the old stable horse walls as our background. I also loved the master bedroom. Michelle and Collin and family great clients. great wedding, great location.

I love this first picture because it was a very touching moment for the sisters and the mom, and because it shows my friend Larry working in the background.

Palo Alto CA, The Lucie Sterm community center is located behind a shopping center :) This wedding was a little challenging ....15 bridesmaids, 15 grooms men, 200 plus guest, 100 degree weather and limited space to pose the crowd. But it was fun and a great experience..

D and J' Wedding @ Mount Eden, CA

The trip was crazy 2 hours from where we live and another 30 minutes going up a dirt narrow road- hill that took us to this gorgeous location. The view was spectacular the house was huge and our clients kept on posing for hours until it got dark. It was too much fun we got home about 3 am in the morning.

J and J wedding @ Wedgewood Golf Course

Golf courses, hotels and wineries are where wedding take place in my gorgeous area (Sonoma County). Jennifer was my very first free portfolio building client. When I did her family pictures and she saw the 6x4 prints she said " I want you to be my wedding photographer next year". I said to myself' 'she is just trying to be nice'...A few months later I found her on facebook.com and she indeed booked her wedding with me. I was so extremely nervous, but we did a good job and she was very happy with our work.





Double wedding @ the Flamingo Hotel

It was my first big event @ the Flamingo Hotel (Santa Rosa CA) My second wedding was a double wedding! 2-dresses, 2 cakes, 2 vails, 2 beautiful brides. We went to take getting ready pictures' of Laura, and then to the other side of town to that other girls' house. After that we went to the Flamingo Hotel and the wedding was beautiful and traditional. I personally enjoyed the music a lot and got to dance one song with my camera.
