This was our first time shooting in the Santa Clara University Mission and it was so lovely. Candles lit all around. LOVED IT!
Steph and Josh had such a lovely wedding, filled with smiles and jars of candy. How could you go wrong?
Emma and I split up again for the first part of this wedding. She got to hang out with the guys, and David and I were there for Stephanie and her girls. We love seeing how each of our sets of photos turns out at the end of the day.

John and Janice are friends and coworkers of rockstar bride Rana, so we were super stoked to be covering their wedding.
This was such a fun shoot, because John and Janice are so comfortable to be around. Engagement sessions are our chance to get to know our couples better. Are they funny, quirky, romantic, artsy, or urbanites? John and Janice were definitely a combination of funny, quirky, and romantic. I hope their photos do them justice.
I can’t wait until their wedding!
Here is the aftershoot for Ruzzel and Ramon. It was such a cold day (which happened to be the theme for each time we see this lovely couple…it’s always FREEZING!). But, they were such troopers.
From the very first consult, Ruzzel and Ramon felt like old friends. It was great seeing them again. I even managed to get Ramon and his twin to watch Iron Man with me so that Emma could go watch a chick flick with her friends.

Some behind the scenes of our awesome aftershoot.
This shoot took a village. We were doing a special project for the studio (so excited!), so the awesome Mon Villacorta and Jason Magbanua came out to shoot some behind the scenes footage. The very talented Missy Moran dolled Ruzzel up, and my future brother-in-law Jae Escalada came out and did some lighting magic.
Thanks to everyone!
In the midst of the chaos that comes with wedding season, we find time to schedule our site visits. We like to visit venues that we’re covering, mostly to get familiar with the area so that on wedding day, we don’t turn to each other and say
Uh, duh, where was that exit?
Site visits are also for family time. For adventuring to places that we would ordinarily not visit, and for the cost of time and gas, we get to take a break from the busy and just breath.
