What’s a better way to end 2018 than having a wedding surrounded by your closest friends and family? Well, that’s exactly how Emily and Jose had it! Everyone was looking for the new year, but they all came to witness these two awesome humble people. They are so kind and easy to work with and their family was so hospitable and welcoming. You couldn’t ask another way to end the year.
I’ve known Shanna since we were all little kids and it was an honor to see her all grown up and to photograph her wedding. It was almost a family reunion to see all my friends from high school and to end the night with some break dancing is always a great time! But the most memorable part of the wedding was when Chris’ mom gave her speech. She said, “Chris you better be good to her, or else, I will put you back in my vagina!”

I love photographing all around the city of San Francisco whenever I have a chance to visit, however, I never thought I would ever shoot an actual wedding. So when my old friend, Katie (the bride), told me that her wedding was going to be at the San Francisco City Hall, I was going to do whatever it took to book this wedding. Then later on she said that the reception was going to be on a yacht. YES, PLEASE! Photographing at one of the most beautiful city halls in the country was already amazing, but sailing under the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate bridge to docking next to the ATT Park while a live game was going on against the Dodgers. What an amazing experience, probably one of my most memorable during my wedding photography career.
