Nora and John had a very intimate wedding with their family as guests on board the California Hornblower this July as the cruise ship sailed around the San Francisco Bay visiting landmarks like Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather that evening was excellent, and the fog didn’t roll in until after the ceremony was finished so we were fortunate enough to have the gorgeous Bay Bridge and skyline as the backdrop to the ceremony. Congrats Nora and John!

We spent a lovely evening with Ruth, the mother-to-be. Ruth wanted us to capture some yoga poses that connect her with the baby. With some help from the gorgeous lighting that day, we got some stunning shots at the park! Did I mention that Ruth is also a fellow Canadian? Best of luck with your growing family, and we can’t wait to see the baby!

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! 🙂
