| SF BRIDES magazine…. | 06.22.11 |
i am so thrilled to have shot the cover of
SAN FRANCISCO BRIDES MAGAZINE
you can view the magazine ONLINE or
pick up a copy & thumb through the pages….
inside you’ll find a beautiful 12 page spread…
when SAN FRANCISCO BRIDES MAGAZINE hired me
to photograph this spread on a vintage ferry in san francisco
i almost fell right out of my chair…a VINTAGE FERRY?? in SF??
it was a dream come true…i cannot fully express how thrilling it
was to be shooting blocks away from the
SAN FRANCISCO ART INSTITUTE….
i earned my BFA from SFAI years ago…
dreams can come true…xoxo

& just when i thought it couldn’t get any better….
SF BRIDES also published the beautiful wedding of my friend
KATHRYN (& her husband RYAN) of SNIPPET & INK….their
wedding was simply gorgeous thanks to the efforts of
event planner LAURIE ARONS…
a very special thanks to my assistant & 2nd shooter KRISTEN LOKEN….
who beautifully shot some of the decor at KATHRYN & RYAN’s reception…
(no matter how hard you work, it is still impossible to be in 2 places at once)

lovely! a vintage ferry and you? couldn’t be more perfect!

Congrats on both features in SF Brides magazine! I am in love with the vintage ferry shoot. So elegant in all it’s vintage nautical simplicity. Amazing work – as always. And would expect no less than from the awesome team of vendors you worked with!

Love it all. Miss you Elizabeth!
June 22nd, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Wow, beautiful, esp the one on the cover and dancing in the boat…that is so sweet!

Have been following Snippet & Ink (and loving it!) for some time now…and began following YOUR fabulous blog more recently. Talk about wedding inspiration — you both always deliver! Thank you so much!

I saw this mag in a shop and fell in love with those gorgeous photos! I love the SF Bay, and ferry rides, but a vintage ferry takes the cake!!! I’ll have to go check it out when I’m back in the Bay. (Miss it!) The photos you captured are just beautiful. Vintage touches make me weak in the knees! I’ll have to bookmark your blog to come back and peruse some more.
