The lovely and deliciously talented BethAnn Goldberg at Studio Cake recently commissioned me to do a series for her beautiful studio in Menlo Park. I couldn't wait to dive into this work which focuses on the essence of life, energy and beauty. Here are some from the first series.

BethAnn was recently featured on Martha Stewart and will soon be in a cake competition on the Food Channel. She does amazing work and you really want to book her immediately! :)

          

When I moved to California in 2003, one of the first places I wanted to go was Cornerstone Place. It is unexpected, eco-conscious, filled with world-class design and downright delicious. I recently learned that Cornerstone is a wedding venue...and now I dream of shooting there. I am thrilled to announce two special packages for Cornerstone Couples. If you're planning a wedding at this spectacular place, send me an email so we can chat about your amazing wedding!

Lindsay and Mike's wedding began at twilight and was mainly lit by small candles; it created a gorgeous, romantic tone that perfectly fit them. But once the reception started, the mojitos and wine began to flow, the jokes were cracked and nearly every guest hit the dance floor. It was an absolute blast.

(Most of these images were processed using Jesh de Rox's must-have Colorshift Actions. They are amazing!)
 

The beautiful Casa Real was the backdrop for the twinkling evening wedding of Lindsay and Mike. More photos soon!

 

Here's part II of some of my favorite images of 2008. I couldn't just leave it halfway done! :-) Thanks to all these lovely couples for making this such a great year. Cheers to 09!
