Almost two years ago, we geared up and hid in the (mostly figurative) bushes at Stow Lake to capture Brian asking Jenny for her hand in marriage (see proposal photos here!). We’re so happy to have now followed their story to their wedding day! Although some changes had to be made due to COVID-19 — like so many weddings this year, the original plan was for a much larger gathering — it only ended up making their winery wedding at Viansa Sonoma feel even more warm and intimate.

Vicki and Wai-en met online like seemingly everyone does these days, and their story together quickly blossomed from there. (I think the last… 5? 6? couples we’ve talked to were all first brought together by the magic of the Internet — which would have been quite unbelievable even five years ago!)

Eight months into the pandemic with still no slowdown of the virus in sight, Katie and Brian still managed to have their wedding on their original wedding day — though as you might imagine, much of it had to be re-planned!

Lajos and Gunjan are quite the avid travelers. In fact, they first met while they were on separate international trips. They just happened to cross paths and have been inseparable since! Now they’re exploring California together, starting with our beautiful city of San Francisco.

I really enjoyed their outfits — stylish and perfectly matched, just like the two of them. Take a look at the photos below!

On a sunny Sunday afternoon, Jason had schemed for Michelle’s friends to take her out to lunch for a few hours, while he went over to her parents’ backyard to set up an origami paper flower proposal. To prepare for this big moment, he had painstakingly folded dozens of flowers [ read more … ]
