Like so many couples of the modern era, Alvin and Priya first met online. But as a couple, they very much enjoy exploring San Francisco and beyond offline, urban and nature alike (see their Mt. Tam engagement photos!). After a year and a half of planning, their Viansa Sonoma wedding had a beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking the hills of wine country, followed by a reception that was packed with fun and celebration. Their day was one filled with love and romance! [ read more … ]

We love springtime weddings. The lush greenery, puffy clouds, and gentle sun make such a pleasing atmosphere, and it created a perfect setting for Zach and Jenn’s wedding at The Palm Event Center. If people were seasons, Zach and Jenn would be spring — they’re both so easygoing and cheerful, not only as individuals, but also as a couple. Actually, one interesting thing we noticed is that in so many of their photos, the expressions and smiles on their faces mirror each other from frame to frame. It’s truly delightful to see that kind of shared energy! [ read more … ]

It’s strange how some long wedding days can go by so quickly, and Jeffrey & Julie’s wedding was definitely one of those. We met up with them in the morning at Hayes Mansion, where the emotional tone for the rest of the day was quickly set with Julie’s reveal with her bridesmaids & bridesmen, followed by her very heartfelt speech thanking each of them for being a part of her journey over the years. J&J’s first look was a very touching one, and after that we lost count of how many times Jeffrey cried and laughed at the same time throughout the day. The mansion was a perfect place for all of this plus lots of portraits for everyone — both the beautiful interior and clean exterior are just so ideal for photos!

Though this first part of their wedding day was quiet and relaxed, it was a great lead-in to the ceremony & reception at The GlassHouse SJ, where the energy really picked up, especially during the reception which included a spectacularly-performed surprise lion dance as well as some pretty incredible dancing [ read more … ]

I’ve been waiting for this day for almost twenty years! From once being chemistry buddies and proofreading each others’ AP US History essays (yes, I just looked through our old emails — truly from another era, they actually feature Netscape ads in the footers), we’ve come a long way since those days. Tricia is the same girl she always was, but a couple years ago, she was lucky enough to have met the wonderful man that is Ming. [ read more … ]

We first met with Marcia & Jeff at the end of 2021, as the country was coming out of lockdown for the nth time. Even through our quick Zoom chat, just from our interactions and the way they’d glance at each other, we could already tell the kind of couple they were and what a great day their wedding would be — full of love, joy, and emotion.
