Shubhro planned a big surprise for Sadhana on her birthday! He sent a limo to pick her up for a special birthday dinner in San Francisco. Little did she know, there was going to be a detour — Shubhro was going to pop the question at the Palace of Fine Arts, with a rose bouquet nearby, flower petals scattered on the ground, and love notes pinned to the big tree waiting for her! From now on, Sadhana’s birthday each year will have some extra meaning 🙂 [ read more … ]

Over the Fourth of July weekend, Roy and Claire came all the way from Singapore to visit San Francisco. The pair had first met at the Fairmont Singapore where Roy works as a hotelier, so it was fitting for him to propose to his girlfriend atop the balcony of the Fairmont San Francisco‘s penthouse suite. On the morning before they were to leave the city, Roy used “touring the hotel” as his cover for leading Claire up to the gorgeous penthouse unit and onto the balcony with a stunning view of the San Francisco skyline. He pulled out his ring, dropped to his knees, and popped the question. Of course, she said yes! [ read more … ]

These two college sweethearts, now living in Hong Kong, took a trip back to California a couple of weeks ago. For their engagement photos, we walked around Foothills College where they first met and got some really cute shots in a classroom and around campus. We also went to Stanford, which was beautiful as always. They looked great and I had lots of fun being their photographer! [ read more … ]

Sara and Michael held their beautiful backyard wedding at Sara’s mom’s lovely house in South San Francisco. I can’t think of a more meaningful way for the couple to celebrate their memorable day than to be surrounded by all their close friends and family in the home where the bride grew up. You’ll have to see it to believe it — with the help of family and friends, they turned their humble abode into a romantic and stunning wedding venue! The colorful floral arrangements, the amazing assorted cakes(!!!), the handwritten wedding signs, and the romantic twinkle cafe lights all came together to make this wedding special and FULL of love! And beyond that, what made this wedding truly unique were the personal touches: the wedding rings, handcrafted by Michael’s father with a diamond passed down through the family; the surprise musical performance by the family; and even Michael’s great Darth Vader Star Wars tie! Browse their wedding photos below and join us in wishing them a happy lifetime together!
