Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
I can’t even remember the last time I had been to San Francisco! Definitely not in this decade. So of course I was excited to shoot the wedding of Mike and Rachel downtown San Francisco!
The morning started at the Marine Memorial Club, which is also where the reception was held.

Ready to marry Mike!
You’re so beautiful Rachel!
Who doesn’t love a man in uniform?
Watching his bride walk down the aisle!
Great shot by my assistant Jamie
The ceremony was at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the building behind them!
We took the limo down to Crissy Field – check out that view of the Golden Gate Bridge!
Love this photo that Cathy took!
We then ventured over to The Palace of Fine Arts

Back to the Marine Memorial Club for some dinner and dancing!
The funny woman on the left…that’s Nicole 🙂 My junior high best friend. She hasn’t changed a bit except now she is a lawyer and can legally drink =P Love ya Ed!
This little man had MOVES!
Rachel and Mike – you two are so great together, I can tell how you make each other so happy!

Very cool shot of the bridge by the beach – love that one.
Ooh, the Palace of Fine Arts is one of my all time fave places – so romantic!
They are adorable! I love your wide angle shots!
Such great oppertunities for awesome pictures! Way to take advantage!!!
I love the one of them by the beach, and the beautiful one with the sun… <3
Mel – these are so beautiful! I’m so excited to see even more, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for being not only an amazing photographer, but also a pseudo-therapist, a de facto bridesmaid, and general support system for me when I was stressing beyond belief. 🙂
These are completely fabulous, as always, and I’m SOOOOO glad you decided to do Crissy Field. Thanks for being such a godsend!
AWESOME! I love the men in uniforms! 🙂
Crissy Field is the area along the northern shoreline of the Presidio of San Francisco.
