Wedding & Portrait Photography by Michele Beckwith, San Francisco Wedding Photographer, Bay Area Wedding Photographer bio picture

I’m a 20 something girl living in a creaky old Victorian in San Francisco. It all started when I was a little girl and my mom mistakenly left her camera within my little grasp on the coffee table. I'm still enchanted with documenting the world around me, but I have found my real passion...people in love.

For the past three years I have been lucky enough to capture some of the most amazing couples tie the knot. I still can't get enough. The emotions, the love, the story, all of it! So much that I even changed my major from nursing and now working on my BFA at the Academy of Art University here in San Francisco. I can't image my life doing anything other than making art :)

+ I live, eat, sleep and daydream about photography.
+ I edit my images to the soundtrack of Lady Gaga.
+ I adore sipping cafés au lait and eating dinner with the Brit.
+ I don't own a television.
+ Since moving to the city, I never leave the house without a scarf.
+ My collection of used cookbooks now rivals my shoe collection.

April + Dave: Married! {V. Sattui Winery, St. Helena, CA}

August 15, 2010

You may remember these two’s super sweet engagement session from last year. Since then, I have been impatiently waiting for their big day to arrive. Their wedding was held at the gorgeous V. Sattui Winery on the 4th of July. April was smiling from ear to ear and I couldn’t help but fall in love with her enthusiasm and joy when editing the photos. I can’t even begin to tell you two how honored I am to have captured your wedding. I’m tearing up just writing this. Love you guys!

Be sure to view their slideshow to see their full wedding!

Wedding and Reception: V. Sattui Winery
Coordinator: Darlene Forbes
Flowers: VBKirk
Catering: Elaine Bell Catering
Honeymoon: Kauai

These two decided to do a “first look”. Seriously peoples, it’s the best way to go!

Dave sang a montage collection of pop songs that he then customized to include April. I just about died laughing when he said “I’m going call April on my telephone!” based on Lady Gaga’s hit song. I’ll have to find some video!
