Tammy & Chris | San Ramon The Bridges Golf Club Wedding

Tammy and Chris exchanged their “I do”s at The Bridges Golf Club in San Ramon under a bright and sunny summer sky. For this couple, the most important part of their wedding was the guests, and above all, their family. Tammy carried with her a rosary with her father’s picture and kept it wrapped around her left hand during the ceremony, and she also lit a tribute candle in his memory. Tammy’s brother walked her down the aisle, and later shared a very touching dance with her during the reception. On the other side of the aisle, Chris chose his father to be one of his groomsmen — something I totally think more grooms should do! — and to unite them in marriage, Chris’s uncle, a priest, performed the ceremony.

Rochelle & Geoff | San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts & War Memorial Wedding

The Palace of Fine Arts, an iconic San Francisco landmark and popular tourist attraction, has been a special spot and is a perennial favorite for many of our couples’ proposals and engagement photos. Its majestic architectural design and unique picturesque surroundings and backdrop makes it no surprise that couples flock here to make their pre-wedding moments more memorable.

Geoff and Rochelle were very special for us, as they were our first couple to actually get married under the dome.

Jenni & Andrew | St. Helena Private Estate & Vineyard Wedding

It was five years ago when the first chapter of what would become a sweet love story was written. Through family and mutual friends, Jenni and Andrew first met near Chappellet Vineyard, and since then, the pair formed a bond that only grew closer with time.

We absolutely loved having the privilege of taking this adoring couple’s wedding photos, and we could most definitely sense the tender bond between them! Stunning in her figure-hugging wedding dress, Jenni stole the show, while hubby Andrew looked quite handsome in his cool gray suit and festive coral tie. The beautiful classic watch that she surprised him with, engraved along the inside with their wedding date, really completed the look! [ read more … ]
