I was 20 years old, going to school, and serving Italian food at a local restaurant. Mary’s Pizza Shack is what it was called and it was a family owned place with locations in the Napa, Sonoma, and other places around the Bay Area and Sacramento Valley. Sure we had our fair share of making fun of the cranky customers, or the customers who were in such a hurry that they should have just gone through a fast food drive through…but for a college kid, it was a perfect job. 

Brandi and Robert (Robby) as I like to call him, met while working at Mary’s Pizza Shack. Not the location that I worked at, but at another location and they might have bonded over one of those cranky customers 😉 They didn’t rush into anything too quick which is good because they built a strong foundation of friendship. Robby also has a passion for photography and invited Brandi out one night for a photo adventure. It was that night he surprised her with their first kiss. 

A couple years later after a move to San Francisco, Robby finally popped the question. 

I knew from the moment that I met Robby and Brandi we were going to be a good fit. Their wedding day was full of love, family, silly friends, and a lot of laughter. Their love was effortless and it made my job insanely easy. Robby and Brandi, thank you for letting me document your love. 

Here are some favorites from their day…starting with a ring shot.

Shooting in the harsh sun couldn’t stop us. Brandi still brought her fierceness.
