Sneak Peek: Diana + Rod

World, meet two people who rock my world in every single way! Diana and Rod, I had the most amazing and adventurous time with you two this afternoon and am so excited for your wedding in August! Love you too much, Yuliya.

Cerissa + Robert: Napa Valley Engagement

It was just like that feeling you have when you run into an old friend, end up doing something spontaneous, and wonder why you don’t do this more often. That feeling that everything is just right and you’re having the time of your life. When Robert met Cerissa it all happened just like that. They were only a year apart in college, pursued the same major, and ended up working for the same company. Not long after the company relocated both of them from Chicago to another branch in California and the rest is history. They became each other’s closest friend, support, and home, when the loneliness would kick in from being so far away from their hometown.

Robert and Cerissa are getting married this September and I’m so thrilled to be part of their journey. Thank you for sharing your stories, smiles and memories with me. I feel so blessed to have met you and to work with you! Simply can’t wait till your wedding! Lots of love, Yuliya.

Oh Cerissa, you’re stunning!

Cerissa, you’re truly so beautiful in and out!

Sneak Peek Time!

I had the bestest time today photographing Cerissa and Robert around Napa Valley, what truly a lovely day it was! Can’t wait to hang out with you two at your wedding!

Stephanie+Will: Presidio Shoot

Sometimes you just know, and these two happened to know very early in their lives. Both in middle school at the time, they met in class and Stephanie wrote in her journal shortly after that she met the man she was going to marry. And she did . . . ten years later. Stephanie and Will got married a year ago and celebrated their one year anniversary with a photo shoot and a cake!

It took us almost two years to meet up for a photo shoot and I’m so so happy that we finally did. I wasn’t available to shoot their wedding, but I’m sure we’ll make that up with many future shoots . Stephanie and Will, you two are amazing! Your story, your laughs, your sacrifices to have lunch every week together are precious. I doubt there’s ever a cloudy day in your home in the ever-overcast Pacifica! Congratulations on your anniversary and on many more years together! And Stephanie, I’m completely humbled by the fact that you’re one of my biggest fans, to have met you finally is special! Can’t wait to hang out with you two again. Lots of love, Yuliya
