San Francisco Wedding Photography contest, Hawaii Wedding Photography contest
As a San Francisco Bay Area and Hawaii wedding and lifestyle photographer, I love what happens when I meet my clients, hear about their stories, how they met, how they became engaged, family traditions, cultures and their dynamics. I also relish in hearing about special locations couples love to visit and why it means so much to them. If it means so much to them, it has to mean something special to me because this is my canvas, this is where I begin to tell…..their wedding story.

I love that each one of our Wedding Collections includes the Engagement Session , these are essential sessions for my couples as it helps them to see themselves in a whole new light, and I love the extra time we have to get to know each other. Telling stories of LOVE through photography are nothing if they don’t speak out about the couple and their love for each other. Embracing all of these elements will produce a lovely wedding/engagement album which will become heirlooms and one of the most cherished things a bride will possess.

Pacifica Beach Wedding Photography – Alfredo & Jacqueline!


We would like to extend a heartfelt congrats and shout out to our latest happy couple Jacqueline & Alfredo. Jacqueline, also of Cuban descent married Alfredo of Nicaraguan and Moroccan descent and had a HELLUVA celebration. Their ceremony was held at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, where Alfredo attended school as a child, and their reception and celebration was held at the Pacifica Beach Resort. Family flew in from Miami, Florida, Los Angeles, and other parts of the state to join in on this much awaited and fabulous wedding. John Calloway and his Latin Ensemble performed throughout the night and it could not have been more perfect, the bride and groom’s first dance was to the song “Como Fue”, and old traditional Latin standard chosen by the couple for their first dance…..and the song you hear on this post. The song made famous by great Cuban singer, Benny Moré. Cheers to the happy couple!!!
