Welcome Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my place to share my voice and photography. In case you don't know me, I am Sara (that's me to the left, the one without a big white furry coat). I am a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area, California. I LOVE my work, and you will see a bit of that sneaking in here. I also use this as a place to share other parts of my life. You will find adventures, food and little tidbits about my life with my darling husband and our two fat cats.  Please feel free to have a look around and even leave me a note. I would love to hear from you!

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of photographing Shannon and Kristen's wedding. I was second shooting for Julie Cheshire of Julie Berry Cheshire Photography. As always we had an amazing time while capturing all of the little details of the day. The ceremony took place at the St. Gregory's Catholic Church in San Mateo. 



Usually before a wedding we try to get a little hint of the details that are most important to capture, those little moments that make each ceremony unique. But, sometimes we don't get let in on those things until they happen. This was one of those moments. Kristen's dad walked her down the aisle, so far so good. What we didn't know was that half way down the aisle her grandfather was going to get the hand off and lead her the rest of the way down. Kristen was so tearful in this moment, and I couldn't really blame her. I was tearful myself. 

After the ceremony we all headed to the James Flood Mansion where the reception was to be held. The location is absolutely beautiful.  Kristen and Shannon convinced the staff to unlock the door to the balcony to let us sneak in a few great images before the sun went down. 

Shannon and Kristen, I am so happy for the two of you. Congratulations, and enjoy your first holiday season as husband and wife!

So glad they let you out on the balcony. Those pictures are gorgeous. I especially love the light in the last photo with the bridge and the cake with the windows in the background.

It was a beautiful spot for photographs. It worked out well since we had so little time after the wedding to do couple photos. It is nice how things work out.
