Congratulations, Meghan & Mike! Thank you for inviting me to capture moments of your momentous day surrounded by your beloved family. :) Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:
Styled Bridal Portraits at San Francisco City Hall
How lucky I am to live in San Francisco, home of the most gorgeous City Hall I know of. I was looking do a bridal inspired photoshoot here, so I dusted off my very own San Patrick Calais wedding dress, picked up an amazing floral bouquet from a local neighborhood shop, and joined forces with my good friend & model, Robelene Novero.
Being a new real-life bride herself, Robelene had her modeling muscle memory down solid for these photos, because she looks gorgeous. Though City Hall can be crowded during the week with tours, fieldtrips, and other brides & grooms (we shot on a Tuesday), everyone was extremely respectful of each other's space. We had an amazing time meandering through the beautiful halls to find some beautiful portrait spots -- there are way too many locations in this single building to show here.
Below, you can enjoy a few of my favorite shots from City Hall. More of my bridal & wedding photography can be found here.

Novero-Arcibal Pre & Post Wedding Photos in Morro Bay & Los Osos
At the heart of it, a wedding is all about the bride and groom. In just an hour, Robelene & Irman were married in the Los Osos Elfin Forest Preserve, enjoyed an intimate dinner (and even a whole dance floor to themselves), and relaxed in Morro Bay. I was able to capture some memories of them getting each other ready for the ceremony and enjoying their time together afterward.
For ceremony photos, please check out Patrick Ang's album -- it's one of the most gorgeous spaces I've ever seen.

Chen & Jingru's Wedding at Nestldown, Los Gatos
Nestldown in Los Gatos is tucked away in the Santa Cruz mountains, and that place is magical. I snapped these photos from Chen & Jingru's wedding day while second shooting for Patrick Ang. Check out his page for all of the amazing pics!
