At some points during this engagement session, you would swear that Emma and I weren’t even there. Danny and Fredacille we just so at ease with each other and their connection is undeniable.
Oh, and Danny is funny as heck. He had Emma crackin’ up during the whole thing.
Can’t wait for your wedding next year!
We had so much fun touring one of their favorite vineyards in Los Gatos and then heading up on a hike near the Stanford campus.

Special thanks to The Big Dustin from TBP for rockin this with us!
We try our best to answer emails and inquiries within 24 hours…most are answered within the hour on weekdays. If you haven’t heard back from us within that time frame, please don’t hesitate to email us again or call us. Sometimes inquiries go into a black hole called spam mail. We even have Ella pulling her weight around the office, but she’s barely 30 pounds…so the help is relative.

Danny, “There will be a little bit of a hike.”
Alfred and Emma, “Ok.”
20 minutes, and a 45 minute incline later…
Emma (huffing and puffing)…”As you can tell, we’re TiVo people.”
Well worth the hike, on all accounts.
More coming soon.


FAQ of the day
When should we schedule our engagement session?
Answers vary. It really depends on what you are using them for.
For SAVE THE DATES: Save the dates are actually a pre-invitation to your wedding. The fine details may not be in place yet, but you want your guests to block that day off. You wouldn’t want your favorite aunt to miss your wedding day because she had non-refundable tickets to the Rick Springfield cruise. Save the dates usually go out at least 4 months before the wedding. It takes us a couple of weeks to process/edit your images. Then, you may need a couple of weeks to produce the save the dates. So, for this purpose, you should schedule your session at least 5 months from your wedding day.
For Guest Books: For guest books, then you’ll want to schedule your engagement session at least a 5 weeks before your wedding. That way, you have 2 weeks for us to edit and another 3 weeks to order your guest book (if you’re ordering the guest book from us, we usually have it to you within 10 business days).
Just because: If you have your save the dates and guest book covered (or aren’t doing them at all), then you can schedule your engagement session whenever you are ready.
Remember, it’s never too early to schedule your engagement session. But, there is one pre-requisite we do have. You have to be ready. Mentally ready. Don’t be rushed to do an engagement session. We want you looking and feeling your best. I know a lot of people wait for specific weather (fall, summer, or spring)…or for things to settle down at work…or are maybe waiting to look their best (we’ve personally postponed our own holiday session 3x already because Alfred and I are trying to lose some weight…I just hope we get them done before Ella moves out for college). Whatever the case may be, whenever you are ready…we’ll be here. Cameras loaded and ready.
