Banff Trip

alfred — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:16:25 +0000

Sometimes, in the blur of wedding season, personal projects get shelved. For weeks now, Emma had this little post-it tacked to my monitor and it read:

design the banff album…please!

Here are some of my favorite spreads for such a much-needed trip. The breather really helped us gear up for phase II of wedding season. Now on to phase III!

Excellently and awesomely designed album by me!

Why We Do This?

We do this because we get to be a part of such a special day.

We wanted to drop a quick note and thank all our awesome couples and families. Without you guys, we wouldn’t be able to rock your photos and help you capture all those darn sweet memories.

We don’t always get to take a picture with the bride and groom, so when we do…we love to share them! Here’s one from Melanie and Brandon’s wedding at San Francisco City Hall. We got to dress down a little (don’t worry, Alfred almost NEVER wears jeans to a wedding–I won’t let him). This is also the last appearance of my beloved red ballet flats. I literally wore them out (that’s what I get for wearing them to 3, ten hour weddings and 4 engagement sessions).

Gone Canoeing…

You may experience a slight delay in email response time as the Saloms are out on vacation. We will be back very shortly (in fact, too shortly).

Sake Time!

Thank you RiaMae and Brian for the thank you gift. So lovin the his and hers Sake!

We’re so glad you’re super happy with your wedding pictures. We were super happy covering it. Now, we’ll be super happy with our super sake!

Mini Vacation

Before the hustle of wedding season begins, we took a cruise to Mexico with 6 of our dearest friends. It was a much needed breather.

We’ve been on different types of vacations, but this was our first cruise. What they (they being the veteran cruise-going friends who suggested we take a cruise) failed to mention was that the particular cruise we took was a party cruise. A, bikini ang g-string clad cruise of singles looking for a drunken good time. Probably not the best cruise to start off on when 3 families all have kids under the age of 5. The great thing about being 3 of maybe just 12 families on board was that our kids had day camp all to themselves and they LOVED IT.

A $15 airbrush tattoo. ouch.

Of course, we had to participate in the towel folding class.

Republic of Cake

We had an appointment in Orinda, Ca today and couldn’t resist stopping when we saw a sign that said Republic of Cake.

My favorite was the Pecan Sticky Bun.

Yum Yum Yum

Good Times

We recently celebrated a big birthday for Alfred. We had dinner with some of our friends at Tigelleria in Campbell.

They are most known for their cutting boards, and oh boy was it yummy. From the freshly made pastas to the organic ingredients, everything was an absolute treat.

Ella New Outfit

Ella got a new outfit, so we decided to go out for a mini session. Alfred even tagged along as my “assistant” for the day.

Food Coma

Contrary to hearsay, Al and I really do try to curb the munchies. However, studio manager Belle keeps finding yummy treats for us to try!!

First was a yummy chocolate bar that rudely read “It’s Not for Girls”. Harumph! {Sidenote: So yummy!}

The chocolate wine was questionable. Although I think chocolate tastes good in most forms, I wasn’t feeling the chocolate and the hard liquor combo. The pomegranate wine spritzer, however, was soooo UPPPP my alley!

Don’t Call and Drive

My dad called the other day to chit chat with his granddaughter, Ella.

Ella, “Hi Papu. What are you doing?”

Papu, “I’m driving home from work, honey.”

Ella, “Then why you on the phone? You can’t call on the phone when you’re driving. You might die!”

Papu, “Okay honey, now give the phone to your mommy.”

Me, “Yeah, dad?”

Papu, “She has a way of making you listen.”

Me, “Yup. Now call us back when you’re not driving.”
