Deanna Graham Photography

What a ride the last 18 years have been for me working as a photographer in the Bay Area and beyond.  Whether it's wedding day or a family portrait --- I love it all.

I have worked at about every wedding site you can name from Pebble Beach to the Golden Gates and have lots of great stories from my adventures.

When I'm not shooting, I enjoy playing guitar, cooking, traveling, and spending as many moments as I can with my  wonderful husband Michael :)

My goal will always be to capture all the love and laughter that life has to give with or without my camera. May the music play on...



Nouvelle Vogue



This beautiful adventure started eleven years ago in Europe when Chantal met Saida in Paris during Fashion Week. A few months later, Saida moved from Paris to San Francisco where Chantal was already established in the bridal industry. After a few months, Saida realized the Parisian styling concept was missing from the bridal boutique experience. Together they re-invented bridal fashion in the Bay Area.
Personal Note: In 2004, we co-founded Nouvelle Vogue, an exclusive bridal boutique in San Mateo, Californian, just minutes away from the city of San Francisco. The selection of gowns, veils, and headpieces, is unique to Nouvelle Vogue and cannot be found anywhere else in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our knowledge and expertise in fashion motivate us to impose a different view in bridal fashion with a singular approach. We will help you express your unique style while keeping your personality in mind. We truly believe that each bride should own her look.
In 2011, we opened our new location in a more intimate space on the 2nd floor of San Mateo Drive. In addition to bridal attire, our collection has expanded to include couture evening wear.


Anton Schwartz


In 1995, Anton Schwartz walked away from a high-powered academic career in Artificial Intelligence to play music full-time. Anton quickly gained an enthusiastic following as fans responded to what the San Francisco Chronicle called his “warm, generous tone, impeccably developed solos and infectious performance energy.” 
Billboard Magazine wrote of his 2000 release, The Slow Lane, “Schwartz savors the implications of each note, allowing the listener to delight in the endless melodies created by his stirring improvisations.” Anton’s first CD, When Music Calls (1998), inspired the San Francisco Bay Guardianto report, “Anton Schwartz has everything you want to hear in a modern jazz saxophonist–an appealing, consistent tone, an abundance of ideas fueling both his compositions and his improvisations, and superb taste in musical collaborators.”
Anton is also in great demand as a teacher. He is a faculty member of Stanford Jazz Workshop andThe Jazzschool, a clinician at the Brubeck Institute, and has been Artist in Residence at Harvard University and the Brubeck Institute Summer Jazz Colony.

Joe Homsy Photography



I enjoyed the many fine art projects that I worked on but wedding photography came my way, like so many other photographers, by friends asking me to photography their wedding.   I really tried to resist; I was an ART photographer and not a wedding photographer.  But I did succumb to their wishes and I'm glad that I did because after around 700 or more weddings, I love what I do more than ever.  Seriously, who doesn't like to make people happy.  Just seeing their smiles when they first view their images makes me feel special.
