San Francisco City Hall Wedding ~Talia and Paulo~

Mary — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:13:12 +0000

My last wedding of 2011. Two hours long. Sweet, short, laughter, love, silliness, quirky city hall signs, proud parents, day before Thanksgiving, and one very in-love couple. What a happy way wrap up the year! All my best to you both.

Nilima and Mark – Oakland Engagement Session

Mary — Tue, 10 May 2011 01:41:21 +0000

Nilima and Mark are getting married at the Dunsmuir Hellman Estate in September. We decided to do their engagement shoot starting at Ben and Nicks in Rockridge. How cute is Nilima? I love the red dress.

Hanging out in Pendragon Books while I stalked them from outside:

We then went up to this cool little area near the Claremont Hotel. It was a great afternoon -I love how much they make each other laugh.

Many congrats you two!

Cavallo Point Lodge ~ The Portraits

What a beautiful day it was! And what a fabulous veil Stephanie wore. It was a last minute decision to go for a long one, and I’m so glad she did. Stephanie was inspired this post on Anna Kuperberg’s blog to get a veil.

Oakland Engagement Session

Mary — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 23:22:24 +0000

I had the best time with these two. Celeste and Jon had access to the old American Steel building in West Oakland. Celeste and Jon and getting married at Chileno Valley Ranch in June. It will be rolling hills, old barns, blooming flowers, etc. so this was a coll contrast to that setting.

I used to live a few blocks away and have always been dying to check it out. It’s currently used a an artist space -lots of burning man stuff hanging around, people listening to music, drinking beers, spray painting things, etc. I loved it.

There were so many different looks to this shoot so this post is pretty image heavy! Have fun!

Thanks for such a fun afternoon! xo Mary

P.S. There are two shots in this series done with film. Can you spot them? Leave a comment below!

Wedding Websites – San Francisco Wedding Photography

Mary — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 19:33:31 +0000

I wanted to share with you one of the new fun things I am offering this year. Personalized wedding website! I use the images from your engagement shoot to create the website, you send me the details of the wedding day, and viola! You have your own site, with no random advertising from the wedding channel, etc.

The design is similar to my main site, clean and modern. A guess what? The sites are included in every basic package -there is no extra charge for them. Nice, right?

Courtney & Mike – Oakland Engagment Shoot

Mary — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 19:58:03 +0000

A very fun (and very chilly) engagement shoot in the Oakland Hills… I was so thrilled to meet Courtney and Mike -they are getting married at the University Club in San Francisco late summer and I can tell their wedding is going to be a blast -because they are such fun people.

Thanks for being such troopers in the cold -you two totally pulled it off! xo Mary

Simron and Jesse – San Francisco Engagment Session

Mary — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 23:22:50 +0000

*Click on the photo to see the gallery*

It was an absolutely gorgeous winter day in San Francisco, great light, great outfits. The whole works. We started out at Sutro Heights Park, and then crossed the street to the old Cliff House. If you have a minute, it’s work checking out the opening page of their site -a great visual history of the Cliff House and the many forms it’s taken over the years!

Anyhoo… it was wonderful to spend time with these two. Simron is as adorable as she is beautiful (and smart -she’s in law school). Jesse is funny, nice and also a visual artist -a videographer. Thank you for the great field trip, you too! (I’d never been out there and loved exploring the area.)

Enjoy! Mary

Love in Palm Springs…

Here is Karen and Dave’s wedding, slideshow style….

Karen and Dave – Palm Springs Wedding

Mary — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 06:16:15 +0000

The fabulous Karen and Dave on their wedding day…

They got married in high style (while in Palm Springs, that would be over the top mid-century modern) at the Riviera in Palm Spring, CA. We took a few photos of them in the hotel before the ceremony. The backgrounds were so fabulous – I was a kid in a candy shop. Here are some teasers -more to come soon! xoxo
