wedding
This summer, I had the opportunity to photograph the most magical wedding at Northstar Ski Resort. I've spent many winters snowboarding up here and I actually got engaged here in 2019, so it was a dream come true to be back at this venue, shooting a wedding 8,000 ft up in the sky. The couple, Jake and Holly, have such an incredible love story.

"A little over a year ago I was t-boned by a big construction truck on the way to work. My car was totaled, but I was okay. My paramedic, Alan, was incredibly cute and friendly & made the whole situation a million times better. I later found out that he wanted to get my number but was worried it would be unethical. A month later, my roommate convinced my to sign up for Bumble, where lo and behold, I found my cute paramedic. He proposed almost exactly a year later."
Sounds like the plot of a Hallmark movie right?
Read MoreAlex & Ben tied the knot at the beautiful Julia Morgan Ballroom right in the heart of San Francisco. It’s not often that I get to shoot a wedding strictly in the city and I loved getting creative in the concrete jungle. The Porush wedding was a classy affair; with the bridesmaids wearing all black, the men in tuxes, and the ballroom decked out in incredible florals by The Bloom Bar Co.
After their first look in the Omni Hotel lobby, we took to the streets to get some killer bridal party shots. The day was filled with many fun traditional Jewish wedding events like the Tish, followed by the signing of the Ketubah. The ceremony took place in the grand lobby before we moved upstairs for the festivities. The night was filled with many great toasts, an epic Hora dance and a live band that rocked the party all night.

I first met Pritika & Drew over coffee last summer, and after learning that our visions for photography clicked, we went ahead and shot their engagement photos and secured their date for May 2019.
Pritika was the most stunning bride and was literally glowing all day. Drew was looking dapper and had somehow grown even taller since we did their engagement photos. Their friends and family showered them with so much love and the whole day was magical.
