Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 10:46AM Photo of the day--I was proofing one of my last child and family sessions of the season, and wanted to share this photo. :) Enjoy! xoxo, Stacey
Saturday, May 26, 2012 at 1:38PM Never judge a book by its cover. A self proclaimed tomboy, Laura was climbing and jumping out of trees, trudging trough brush, scaling up a ladder in heels and a cocktail dress. Laura and Bo were "up" for anything. Did I mention she also rides dirt bikes?! The weather was perfect! After sunset, we headed to the W Hotel in San Francisco for some night photos. And went straight for the roof where it was a tab bit windy--to say the least. Limbs and bones frozen we headed back inside for some martinis at the bar. Yum! Laura and Bo, thanks for an incredible evening and night of love, laughter and fun! Can't wait for your wedding day next Saturday! I expect more of the same. :) Enjoy! xoxo, Stacey
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 7:34PM Topographer by day and sax player by night, music is very important to David and his beautiful bride Alison. So much so, they decided to commission "an electrifying 14 piece tribute Michael Jackson [band]"--Foreverland, to play at their wedding as a surprise to their family and friends. Mix that with a charming venue, The Outdoor Art Club, gorgeous decor, blooms and succulents (see photos below), and you have yourself an elegant, smart wedding. I would add exceptionally fun and lively too! Alison and David, I really appreciate the thought and love that you put into the details of your wedding day. Enjoy your pictures! xoxo, Stacey
So love Alison's splash of color on her ears. :) Doesn't she look beautiful!
Love the expression on Alison's Dad's face.
Love both of these photos! Alison and David you make a stunning couple.
I love that Alison's Mom got to see this moment between Father and daughter.
Thanks to the team of people who collaborated on this amazing wedding: | wedding coordinator, Juliette Goyhenetche | hair and makeup, Katie Nash Beauty | Florist, Claire with PoppyStone | Caterer, Ann Waker | Decorations, the bride, Alison Corbett, her Mom Cindy Corbett | Graphics, Annie Drury
And of course, a HUGE thank you to my fabulous team, Jessica and Chelsea! Love you gals to pieces!
Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 12:13AM As you may already know, I ask my brides and grooms to choose where they want to have their engagement session. Julie and Mike not only chose their location, they scouted the location beforehand and took photos of the areas that inspired them and sent them to me. We started on the outskirts of the Presidio in San Francisco and took advantage of the old brick buildings surrounding the area. With a quick wardrobe change, we headed off to Crissy Field for sunset photos. The wind was freezing cold and we could barely move but that didn't stop Julie and Mike from smiling and laughing. Then we caravaned to the Ferry Building for night photos. But on the way, we took one "quick" detour to the Fog City Diner for some sweet pics. I love how spontaneous Julie and Mike were. Julie and Mike, thank you so much for being so uninhibited and free to show your love and joy for each other. What an amazing day! xoxo, Stacey
I just love their smiles in this next photo.
Julie, you are HOT HOT HOT!!! :)
Monday, April 9, 2012 at 4:09PM Elizabeth and Morgan...where do I start? I wish I could start by sharing the answers to the their questionnaire. (In preparation of the engagement session, I ask all my brides and grooms to answers some questions about themselves so I can get to know them a little bit better.) They had me in stitches but on the flip side they were completely endearing--just like Morgan and Elizabeth. Since Elizabeth and Morgan love to hang in San Francisco, we headed into the city for some fun. We started our session at one of my favorite spots in San Francisco and where one of my favorite restaurants, Bix, resides--Gold Alley. I just love the varying, old brick buildings and how the modern skyline peaks above the roof tops (see photo with the TransAmerica Pyramid.) Once we exhausted our fun and their hotness in Gold Alley, we headed to Elizabeth and Morgan's "hood"-- the Americano at Hotel Vitale. The staff there were so accommodating and kind. Not missing a beat Morgan bought his beautiful lady a glass of wine and I got some cool images of them just hanging in the Americano and the lobby of Hotel Vitale. Elizabeth and Morgan! Once again, thanks for all of the laughs! Seriously, a very memorable session. I can't wait to see what your wedding day holds for me. You two are not only fun to photograph but so much fun to hang out with. :) Enjoy! xoxo, Stacey
