Labels: bikes, engagement, maps, Marin County, mason jars, Novato, sunflowers

I met Shannon and Tommy at Starbucks a few months ago to talk about their upcoming wedding. While Tommy went to get us coffee (so sweet might I add), Shannon began telling about all the details for their soon to be wedding day...well, right then I knew that they were the PERFECT couple for me! And then recently, when we began discussing details for their engagement session...lets just say that I couldn't wait! Sunflowers, mason jars (they had me at mason jars), bikes, maps...oh all the details made me happy!

Then, thier love story...what's not to love about it. Friends since the 8th grade, years passed, miles apart, and one day they were connected again...and this time their connection will last forever!

Shannon and Tommy, seriously, you two are the best! Thank you for waking up so early on a Saturday morning, and spending time in front of my camera! The love between you two is just beautiful, and I cannot, wait until your wedding day in September!! Until then, here are some of my favorite images from the day...and be sure to view the slideshow with even MORE of my favorite images (be sure to turn up your speakers :)

don't forget to view the slideshow...there are many more from this adorable engagement session to view :)

San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photographer {Holly + Mark} Married

"How is Holly doing?” is one of the first things that Mark asked me when I saw him...and right there I knew that this was going to be such a special day! Mark and Holly met through mutual friends while living in Hawaii, and little did they know that fast forward to 2011, they would be walking down the aisle and becoming husband and wife. Guest and family members came from near and far to witness these two come together as one! After all the speeches, Holly stood up and spoke a few words. She said that she didn’t think she would be able to say anything without crying, then she looked at her husband with a trembling voice and said “Home is not an address…home is being with you". There wasn’t a dry eye in the room; including mine.

Holly and Mark…your wedding day was magical. Thank you for having me there to document such a important part of your lives. I have no doubt that you will spend the rest of your lives just as happy as you were on your wedding day; if not happier!

There are so many wonderful images from the day, but here are just a few (ok...a lot) of my favorites, and of course be sure to watch the slideshow for more :)
