I love couples who incorporate a lot of family and friends into their wedding. Ted & Danielle’s wedding was so much fun and so personal. Winston, their officiant, was a longtime family friend who had known Danielle her whole life. His words were sentimental yet funny, and everyone loved what he had to say. His talents didn’t end there — during their reception, Winston actually went on stage to play his guitar and harmonica and sing at the same time. Yes, you read right. Simultaneously. [ read more … ]

Kelly & Brendan… where do I start? Usually, after I first meet with a couple, I start to get excited about their engagement session and the upcoming wedding. With Kelly & Brendan, we didn’t even have to get that far. Before we met for our initial consultation, as David and I were reading their story and how they met each other, we already knew K&B were the perfect couple for us — and for each other!

Our featured couple this week is Sarah & Jonathan. After getting ready separately early in the day, they had a cute first look in front of Tower Hall, on the San Jose State University campus where they first met. We then went over to the San Jose Woman’s Club where their family & friends were gathered for their ceremony. After reading their vows, exchanging rings, and communion, Sarah & Jonathan celebrated by having one of their favorite treats: a 7-Eleven slurpee! [ read more … ]

Brandon and Kara chose the most amazing day to visit San Francisco. After hitting all the usual spots during the day, they wrapped up in the evening with a short hike up to Battery Spencer, at the edge of the Marin Headlands with its beautiful view overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and the City of San Francisco. Their timing was perfect too, as the sun had just hit the horizon, giving the sky that gorgeous pink color. [ read more … ]

I absolutely adore Josh & Dylan’s cute love story! They actually met in FIRST GRADE (!!) and finally decided to go on their first date while in college, then visited Battery Spencer afterwards to enjoy the grand view of the Golden Gate Bridge. About a week ago, they revisited the Bridge again — and this time, Josh brought with him a big surprise in a little box! I’m so excited to share these photos of this special moment, beautiful couple, and gorgeous backdrop. Congrats you two!
