Max and Renee are our close friends. We had the privilege of being their maid of honor and best man at their wedding last August, and David actually proposed to me that night under a meteor shower right after their wedding so it was a special night for all of us. Since their one-year anniversary is approaching, we wanted to gift them a special photo session at Shoreline Park in Mountain View and the Hakone Japanese Gardens in Saratoga. Their friendship means a lot to us and we can’t wait for them to be a part of the bridal party at our wedding this October! Yay!!! Happy anniversary, Max and Renee!

After waiting for several months, we finally got to photograph Kristin and Brian’s wedding on the Commodore Hornblower as it cruised around the Bay to Alcatraz and back! It was such a memorable and cozy ceremony where Kristin and Brian were surrounded by their loved ones, with the captain being their officiant. After the reception, Brian’s sister threw the couple a surprise first dance challenge and these two NAILED it! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Gnecco!

Brad and Lita are having their beach wedding in Maui. How romantic and exciting! They wanted a different theme for their engagement shoot, so they did their homework and visited a few places before settling on the redwoods at Huddart Park in Woodside, CA. We got a little lost on our hike through the woods but it was fun!

Congrats Brad & Lita! 🙂

Dante must be one of the most organized and best prepared grooms-to-be ever! He had every little detail meticulously planned out, and somehow even managed to sneakily text us a “hi,” without Jade noticing, to let us know that he had arrived. We followed the couple around like paparazzi and then caught him popping the question at just the right place. Congrats Dante & Jade!

Van & Matt met when they were at Stanford (David’s alma mater!) and are getting married next April. They’re an active and outdoorsy couple and because they love hiking, we went to Thornton Beach in Daly City to take some photos on the hike and at the beach. This post starts with some romantic photos on the beach and then shows some fun shots on our hike. Congratulations Van and Matt!
