Marriage Equality

We here at GoodEye Photography + Design believe that love is love, and marriage is a flexible institution that should support individuals of the same gender (and thankfully the Supreme Court agrees). We shoot weddings in the San Francisco Bay Area, and are located in Santa Cruz – so if you’re looking for a photographer […]

Kelsey (Senior Portrait Photography) @ Natural Bridges, Santa Cruz

Kelsey and her family were visiting Santa Cruz for the first time in many years, so they decided to visit one of their favorite old haunts to get some senior portraits (and a few family photos) of their daughter Kelsey at Natural Bridges. It was fun getting to know the family a little and capture […]

Peggy + Roger (Wedding Photography) @ Sesnon House, Aptos, California

It’s been several years since I shot a wedding at the historical Sesnon House; it’s on the Cabrillo College property, and literally one mile from my house. I’m so used to traveling for weddings it’s a guilty pleasure to have one practically in my back yard. Peggy and Roger are like kindred spirits to me […]

Stefan + Jennifer (Engagement Photography) @ Henry Cowell State Park, Felton, California

This was actually my first time meeting Stefan and Jennifer as they booked their wedding with me over the phone. They drove all the way up from their home in Visalia for today’s engagement shoot. We were going to shoot at the beach, but it was just so ridiculously windy – and rescheduling was not […]

Molly + Zak (Engagement Photography) @ Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Moss Beach

Molly and Zak found me just in the nick of time for their wedding this month, and although an engagement shoot wasn’t originally on their radar, I practically insisted we try to sneak one in for all the side benefits – a low-key practice session to get some great casual portraits, find out what does […]

Kaelin + Jayson (Wedding Photography) @ Lake Tahoe Golf Course

Every year I shoot a Tahoe wedding at least once, and I was lucky to work with a cool couple like Kaelin and Jayson. The outdoor ceremony at Lake Tahoe Golf Course had an amazing backdrop, and the weather cooperated beautifully  I must say. The reception was held at Riva Grill downtown, where everyone partied […]

Lisa + Tony (Engagement Photography) @ Mission District and Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco

We visited Tony’s old stomping grounds in the Mission District of San Francisco for his engagement shoot with fiancée Lisa. It was windy and cold, so there was no pretend cuddling or modeling fans for hair blowing – it was au natural. The alleyways near Mission Pie has some beautiful, colorful graffiti that we used […]

Lisa + Mario (Engagement Photography) @ Coyote Creek Trail, Morgan Hill

He’s San Jose PD, she’s in dispatch, and Rex there, he’s the guard dog. Except this doberman is all cuddles and whimpering cuteness – well, at least with his owners and friends. I kept expecting him to run off into the fields, chasing rabbits, birds, mice, or even the deer we saw, but he was […]

Digi + Phil (Maternity Photography) @ Four Mile Beach, Santa Cruz

I love big, pregnant bellies – they encompass the mystery of life, of promise, of great things to come. Pregnant women are beautiful, as if the life within them enhances their own, in some unfathomable way. It’s truly an honor to capture this time in a couple’s life, the very beginning chapter in the book […]

Astra + Steve (Wedding Photography) @ Goularte Estate, San Martin, California

I’ve known Astra for many years; she’s an amazing woman, a highly talented graphic designer, and exudes style and sexiness. And Steve? That dude is sexy too. I don’t know about his other qualities, but if Astra loves him, then he’s A-OK in my book. Because of these reasons and more, I was honored and […]
