It's a party at Fort Mason! I spent the better part of this morning browsing through books at the 50th annual library sale! I scooped up 12 kid books, 3 garden books, 2 cookbooks, and 1 parenting book for the incredible grand total of $42. Money well spent!! The sale goes through Sunday... hardbacks are $3 and paperbacks are $2 Everything on Sunday is $1. Here's a quick look at my winnings!
I had the extreme pleasure of shooting Susie & Jae's wedding with photographer Beth Hurley! The day was beautiful and filled to the brim with love and happiness. There was an unplanned part of the ceremony where the pastor (a long-time friend of the bride's family) asked Jae to announce to Susie and their guests, "I am lucky. I am lucky. I am lucky." He asked Susie to say, "I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed." They were cute, giggly, blessed, and lucky. And I felt lucky to share their day. Here are a few of my faves from Saturday's festivities from Hakone Estate and Gardens and reception at Plumed Horse Restaurant.
I'm so excited to share photos from the engagement shoot I did with Susan & Ted (my GIVEAWAY winners)! The morning we were scheduled to shoot was probably the 8th day of rain in row. It was raining when we met for coffee and we discussed postponing our photo adventure. But our first stop was Swan Oyster Depot, an amazing seafood diner. We decided to see what the weather looked like once we were done at Swan. First of all, let me say that the guys at Swan Oyster Depot are awesome! They're so nice and accommodating and really welcomed us into their restaurant. It's super tiny and is known for it's usual line out the door (always worth it!). We called them early in the week to ask if we could come in Saturday before the crowds. They not only said yes, but were super excited and happy to have us!
The rain miraculously cleared after an hour at Swan, so we headed out to Golden Gate Park and the really amazing Windmill. I hadn't seen it up close, so it was a real treat for me as well.
Here are a few photos from our adventure. I had such a lovely morning with Susan & Ted and can't wait to shoot their wedding in November. They're so cute and in love. There were really sweet moments when Ted had his arms wrapped around Susan and the look in her eyes and smile really conveyed the sense that she knew she was the luckiest gal in all the land. Hope that shows in these photos.
We had a great evening celebrating Dwell Studio’s new book Undecorate by Founder & Creative Director, Christiane Lemieux. Here are some photos from the party at Erica Tanov, an amazing boutique on Fillmore Street in San Francisco. Thanks to Victoria at sfgirlbybay for letting me know about the fun event!
