Diep and Khoa marked their 9^th anniversary by tying the knot at Garré Winery’s Martinelli Event Center in Livermore, surrounded by their closest family and friends. Diep and Khoa met each other through her sister when they were still teenagers. Khoa would often visit Diep while she was working at the local mall kiosk — how cute is that!? Of course, they fell in love, and as they say, the rest is history… history which their guests happily unearthed and shared amongst family and friends on their wedding day as they mused over this beautiful love story.

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. Rochelle had dreamed of having her wedding there, and we were so delighted at the opportunity since we had always wanted to photograph a wedding at the Palace of Fine Arts! We couldn’t be happier that we got to share this experience with such a wonderful couple. [ read more … ]

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 … ]

It’s not every day you hear a couple say “we met on Craigslist” when you ask them how they met, but it’s also not every day you meet this quirky and fun-loving couple, Lauren & Rob, for whom we had the pleasure of photographing for their engagement photos and on their wedding day at Purple Orchid Wine Country Resort & Spa.

Ever since we first visited Yosemite National Park a few years ago, we’d always been waiting for another opportunity to go back. We were so excited that Samantha & Andrew chose to have their wedding at Yosemite with their closest friends and family and brought us along to document the day. I loved the intimacy of such a small wedding along at the picturesque Cathedral Beach, tucked inside a calm bend of the Merced River.

After their ceremony, we took advantage of the setting and got some great portraits of the newlyweds with Cathedral Point and Yosemite Falls as backdrops. Although we ended up with tons of bug bites, in the end it was totally worth it! Congrats Sam & Andrew!
