Vina and Lisa share an amazing love story together: after meeting online over a decade ago, they gradually grew closer until they each knew they had found the one. In 2021, they each planned to surprise the other with a proposal — and though Vina was just a bit quicker on the draw, proposing to Lisa at Baker Beach at sunset almost exactly two years ago, Lisa would return the gesture with a beautiful proposal in the desert sands of New Mexico.

This July, Lisa and Vina finally became wife and wife, united in marriage before their family and friends. [ read more … ]

Bo & Bingbing’s wedding day started off at Hotel Los Gatos, where they began by getting ready with the wedding party. Before heading out for their Regale Winery & Vineyards wedding ceremony and reception, they had a Chinese tea ceremony at the hotel with their parents. The tea ceremony is a traditional Chinese event, yet the aunt hosting it kept things interesting and made it quite entertaining.

Over at Regale, their wedding venue was beautifully decorated with elegant details. B&B had their very sweet first look there, followed by their wedding ceremony just as the sun was setting over the vineyards. [ read more … ]

Monica & Eric had their very intimate wedding at the Toll House Hotel with their family and a few of their closest friends.

Meet one-week-old Vivian! She is such a great little model with a good temper and she sure knows how to smile at the camera! Bonnie and Judson were constantly amazed by Vivian’s daily change. Let’s see… Vivian lost her umbilical stump to reveal her new belly button on the day of the photo shoot, and she had just learned to put fingers (sometime her whole little hand) into her mouth and make funny sounds with it. She has so many facial expressions and I got some really cute ones!

Bonnie and Jud’s puppy, Miss Georgia, joined us at the end of the session and she was soooo happy but very gentle towards Vivian — it melted my heart! She gave out lots of sweet kisses and we got some great family pictures for the four of them 🙂

Brian and Eula got married on Independence Day at the stunning Pulgas Water Temple in Redwood City, followed by a BBQ lunch reception at Vasona park and a fun choo-choo train ride with their guests! Their day was filled with plenty of sunshine, warm hugs, and lots of blessings. [ read more … ]
