While I get ready to edit the rest of this gallery, I wanted to share some sneak peeks! I had a blast shooting Crystal and Jonathan's wedding at Cinnabar Hills in South San Jose last weekend. The rolling hills, oak trees, and fall light are some of my favorite things about living back in the Bay Area.
I can't wait to share more!
Ashley and Jason were my second models for a styled shoot in Downtown Seattle for the Click Away conference! I've known Ashley for years - she was actually my crazy talented, fun hair stylist when we lived in Seattle. We became friends and I immediately thought of her when I needed models for this class. My vision for them was classic 60's Hollywood because Ash has always reminded me of a young Elizabeth Taylor. The day of our class/shoot it was POURING rain. In a rented satin dress going out in the rain was not an option. On a real wedding day I would simply stay inside and find a way to make it work, so that's what we did! I LOVE the moody, dramatic light and my students got some amazingly beautiful, unique photos...even from a small, basic conference room!

Earlier this month I was lucky enough to head to Seattle, WA to teach 4 completely full classes at the Click Away conference. Two of my classes were styled wedding shoots, the first of which was with Tyler and Tova. If you recognize Tova it's because she actually modeled for a styled shoot that I did with BHLDN in Seattle last year! This year she brought along her boyfriend Tyler and along with 25 other photographers we shot in a few of Seattle's most iconic locations.
