WPJA AWARD WINNERS 2017 TRI 2

A little belated, but I’m excited to announce that I won two awards in the 2017 Tri2 WPJA photojournalism contest!

The first image, which placed in the Minimalism category, was taken at Elizabeth and Paul’s intimate backyard wedding in Berkeley.  The next image placed in the Reception Ambiance category and was taken at Kerri and John’s gorgeous wedding at Barndiva in Healdsburg.  I photographed both weddings as a second photographer with my friend Erin.

I’m proud and honored once again to be named among the international award winners!

HAMMAR/SABATELLI FAMILY : SAN FRANCISCO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

I’m happy to share some photos from my family photo session with the Hammar/Sabatelli family! I had the pleasure of hiking up Bernal Hill on a cool, cloudy evening with this fun-loving foursome and had a great time capturing their easy-going interactions, their sweet girls, and the sweeping views from the hill. Here are a few of my favorites:

TAKAHASHI FAMILY : SAN FRANCISCO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

I recently spent a fun morning with the lovely Takahashi family, who have been in San Francisco for about three years. As they will soon be returning to Japan, Mama Chieko requested a photo session around their home at UCSF and on Gene Friend Way, where their girls spent many hours walking, climbing, and jumping, and where their family have had many picnics. Here are a few favorites of their sweet family. To Cheiko and family, wishing you all the best as you return to Tokyo…we will miss you!

NAO + MIKE : ROSEWOOD SAND HILL MENLO PARK WEDDING

Nao and Mike were married at the beautiful Rosewood Sand Hill hotel in Menlo Park. Their unique wedding was marked by elements of Japanese language and culture throughout the day. At the ceremony, Nao read her vows in English and Mike read his in Japanese. Then, during the music-filled reception, wedding guests were not only treated to a moving violin performance but were also surprised later that night with an energizing Taiko drumming performance. The performance included an open drumming session where guests enthusiastically joined in the fun. Congratulations, Nao and Mike, and thank you for sharing your day with me!

PATRICIA + ALEX : JULIA MORGAN BALLROOM SAN FRANCISCO WEDDING

Patricia and Alex’s gorgeous city wedding took place at the luxurious Julia Morgan Ballroom. I was struck first by the exquisite details of the day, from Patricia’s elegant gown to the sumptuous ballroom decor. But what really made an impression was the joy of Patricia and Alex’s friends and especially their families. Congrats and thank you for sharing your beautiful celebration with me, Patricia and Alex!

A special thanks to my second photographer Beth McMullen.
