So many beautiful moments from this Conference Center (yes, a Conference Center!) wedding in Menlo Park! And this gorgeous, loved-up couple, Jenn & Brian are on the blog today. 🤓 Of course, I couldn't keep it to one image. So sharing some favorites here. A mix of candids and posed shots, which is something I do at every wedding. 📸 From the light and bright getting ready spaces, to the ceremony full of laughs on the terrace, to the speeches, dinner courtesy of the in-house team, and lots of dancing. 💃🏾 I have to say, this was pretty much the only wedding I've ever shot which run not only perfectly on schedule but AHEAD OF TIME. That's right. ⏱️ Thanks to a fab vendor team and a super-organized couple, this Quadrus Conference Center wedding has me in love with the memories. | Link in bio! .

Grateful and happy for this time of year. It's the time for overdue editing of personal work, submitting to wedding blogs, creating content marketing, designing albums and building relationships with other wedding vendors. It's just as busy as any other time of year for me - just without the actual 'going out to shoot weddings' part of the equation, which is a pretty small part of running a biz. I love the different patterns of life, like hibernating indoors and being able to set my own hours for work in a way that isn't possible during wedding season. I've never been the kind that's prone to too much either reflecting or goal-setting - you won't see 'fave moments of 2019' or '2020 goals' here. Living in the moment is more my jam, I've realized. And rather than try to mold myself into something I'm not, I'm totally OK with it! The real victory is in daily progress and small milestones. Big words don't amount to much. The unremarkable but essential slow plodding away every single darn day. Excited for the dozens of 2020 couples I've spoken to already, and focusing on always doing the best I can for each couple I'm lucky enough to work with. 🥂Cheers! . . . #photobugcommunity #photographysouls #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #aov #wanderingphotographers #communityovercompetition #folkcreative #handsandhustle #behindthelens #seekthesimplicity #solopreneur #creativepreneur #calledtobecreative #ohwowyes #yourockphotographers #fearlessphotographers #showiteer #mistyfoggymilkymoody #gloomgrabber #ominous_perfection

Listen up if you're looking for wedding flowers that won't break the bank! 💐 I get it, weddings are expensive and you can't possibly splurge on every aspect of your big day. 💸 If you're looking for budget florals, definitely check out @bloominous. 🌸 I first heard of them at Nicole and Lucas' redwood wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains. Bloominous shipped her the flowers then she assembled them according to the instructions. 🎗 @bloominous offers floral set-up at your venue too for larger orders that require installation! 🏩 This isn't sponsored, but I have a discount code for anyone that's interested in Bloominous' lovely blooms for their wedding. If you want to trim your floral budget by up to 50% this one's for you! ✂ Use my discount code ZLAR19 for $100 discount, valid for orders over $1,000. Yay, Bloominous! 🌺🌻🌼🌷🥀🌹🏵️🌿 . . . #bloominous #weddingflorals #discountflorals #floraldesigner #floraldesign #weddingbouquet #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #sanfranciscowedding #bayareawedding #redwoodwedding #redwoodweddingphotographer #florist #bayareafloraldesigner #californiawedding #catalystwedco #apwwedding #offbeatbride #photobugcommunity #communityovercompetition #creativepreneur #showiteer #stylemepretty #wedspiration #ohwowyes

I just published an article with some helpful tips for vendors to share wedding photographers' images online. I love working in the wedding industry and my goal is always to provide an outstanding service for my couples! A big part of that is being a team player which means creating a network of awesome vendors. Image sharing with vendors is something I'm passionate about. It's an amazing way of building those relationships and is a way to give back. My latest article is aimed at wedding vendors. It goes over some of the things they can do to be *gold star collaborators* when they receive a gallery of wedding images from me.
