Emma loves reading wedding blogs. I love reading photography blogs. Together, we join forces to create cutesy awesomness.

We were so giddy when we found out that Jen and Red were featured on one of our must-reads, Love and Lavender.

Theresa + Stan {San Francisco Engagement Session}

Theresa and Stan booked us way back when we were still meeting clients in coffee houses and tea lounges (we’ve since moved client meetings into the dedicated first floor of our home), and we were super excited to see them again.

They wanted to start of at the Legion of Honor, as it was there that Stan bravely attempted to hold Theresa’s hand for the first time. We’re glad she took his hand. The rest is history.

Meghann and Khanh are so laid back….I even dare say Zen. They had a lovely wedding at St. Thomas Aquinas in Palo Alto, followed by a lovely reception at the Dinah’s hotel in Palo Alto—and the venue fit them so well. Loved it!

Album Send Off

We’re sending another album off to one of our couples, and this brings us both joy and a tinge of sadness….like sending children off on their first day of school. As we close each wedding, we say goodbye to a year or so of planning and hello to the rest of their lives. We just hope they remember us from time to time, as they turn the pages of their wedding album.

Ok, enough of my Hallmark moment. Just Facebook us already so I don’t get all emotional during album pick ups.

Marci and David {Berkeley Wedding Photographer | Tilden Park}

Marci and Dave had a picturesque wedding at Tilden Park in Berkeley.

David and Marci gave us ample time to take pictures, and the light was just perfect. We could not have asked for more.

The bridal suite at the Claremont is fabulous.

The girls look below, to a balcony where we have David set up for their first look.

After their first look, Dave and Marci took us on a fun ride on a carousel. So awesome!

I love her classic cake. Just fit the overall theme so well.

As with almost all Jewish weddings, Emma and I braced ourselves for the “opening of the dance floor,” because the flurry and chaos that follows is almost always a treat—but you can easily get lost in a sea of guests and floating chairs. Marci and Dave’s family did not disappoint. What a fun group!

Danny and Fredacille {Palo Alto Wedding Photographer | Stanford Wedding}

Danny and Fredacille are such awesome people, we loved covering their wedding.

Danny has known all of his groomsmen since he was 4; all neighborhood friends…and most were classmates in school. How awesome, but if you ever meet Danny…you won’t be surprised. He has such an infectious personality, you can’t help but want to be his friend. He and Fredacille make such an awesome pair.

They are off conquering the globe. Best wishes Danny and Fredacille, have fun in New Zealand!

One of my favorite “bridesmaids with groom” shoot. Work it!

Their wedding reception also included a surprise performance by a Filipino dance troop. Yay!

Reception at the Corinthian Ballroom in San Jose.
