Oceano Hotel in Half Moon Bay, California

Posted on | by Shanti

There are so many factors that makes this wedding venue just magical. It could be the awesome location which is a small fishing community snuggled in between mountains and ocean. It could be all the options to really customize your day from a lawn wedding, beach wedding or a classic ball room wedding you really can’t go wrong… pair that with options for your celebration party and you have an all inclusive magical event. But in all honesty, I think what really sells me on this amazing venue is how awesome the staff is at the Oceano Hotel. They truly bend over backwards to make your event stress free and memorable from the way they interact with the couple to the way they include the other vendors into their team, its definitely a recipe for a successful and stress free day.

LGBT aka Love

Posted on | by Shanti

I hate even labeling this, but for the sake of search engines I will. Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transsexual, or Heterosexual — when you take all the labels away and really look at what two people are experiencing, it really is all the same… love.

I love being a part of any love story, any way it’s told… end of story.

Long Branch Saloon — Half Moon Bay Coastal Country Wedding

Posted on | by Shanti

I am completely in awe over this little gem of a venue in Half Moon Bay, CA. Long Branch Saloon is amazing. Kevin Palmer the owner of Long Branch Saloon has spent a lifetime creating a little village straight out of a chapter from Little House on the Prairie. With good ol’ western charm its a perfect location for a shabby chic country wedding.

I had so much fun last year capturing Abbie and Robert’s engagement session, see previous blog here: Pumpkin Patch Portraits

It was definitely a prelude into such an amazing wedding day filled with sunflowers, apple pie, smore roasting and some good ol’ fashion sling shotting:)

Abbie made sure to bring in a certain amount of playfulness to a huge amount of elegance and classic country beauty, Well done Abbie and Robert! And congrats to a new chapter ahead!

AT&T Park Engagement Session

Posted on | by Shanti

I love when we can take San Francisco land marks, a couples passion for the city and all that it has to offer and bring it into a fun engagement session. Legion of Honor, Palace of Fine Arts, the San Francisco cable cars are all great spots to capture your love in the city, but if you are a huge sports fan why not use one of the best stadium’s as your backdrop! Go San Francisco Giants!
