Countdown to the branding relaunch!

emma — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 17:11:26 +0000

Some of you may know that we’re undergoing a major rehaul here at ASP. We’re rebranding, redesigning our website (yes, for you ipad and iphone users!), and refreshing everything.

So, you’ll notice that the blogging here from October 1 onwards will be dismal until the new site launches up. If you’re itching for news about us, please check us out on facebook.

To celebrate, we did a styled shoot with some awesome vendors, models, and friends. Here are some teasers. You gotta check back in on October 26 for the full set!!

San Francisco Wedding {Hotel Intercontinental}

Awhile back I got the chance to second shoot for Mr. Ed Pingol, it was truly a treat to watch the master of painting with light at work. Here are some of my shots from the day.

Palo Alto Wedding

alfred — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 17:03:34 +0000

I recently had the pleasure of second shooting for a friend of ours, Jessie Cho. I had a great time with Jesse and Jeff and the wedding party was so much fun. The bride and groom could not have been nicer.

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!

Jen and Red Get Married {A Backyard Wedding}

alfred — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 09:00:07 +0000

You might remember Jen and Red’s schoolyard engagement session. We got to attend their wedding as guests…yes guests! We were beyond stoked to be a part of their wedding. They wanted to keep everything real casual like, so they didn’t have a professional photographer, so we were able to sneak in shots of our own.

Such a classic, backyard wedding. Casual with a dash of Antrhopologie.

Yup, Emma even dressed to match the colors.

Marci and David {Berkeley Wedding Photographer | Tilden Park}

Marci and Dave had a picturesque wedding at the lovely Brazilian room in Tilden park, 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 Hotel 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!

Stephanie + Josh {Santa Clara University Mission | The Sainte Claire}

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.

Why We Do This?

emma — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 03:42:01 +0000

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).
