There are so many things to love about this day and here are a few of my favorites…

Finn made a brief but memorable appearance during portraits. I always love it when a pooch shows up.

Clare’s family is from Ireland and the gentle Irish accents throughout the day were music to the ears.

Clare and Joe live in the Bay Area and because of that we weren’t able to have an engagement session together. But that didn’t matter. These two were at ease in front of the camera, let the day come to them and prioritized spending time together and with family over everything else.

After sending Clare and Joe their images, the message I received back said they just felt like they relived their wedding day. That is the greatest compliment I could receive.

Clare and Joe, thank you for having me be a part of your day. It was such a pleasure to spend time with you and your families.
