Leyna + Mike {An engagement session, Palo alto CA}

emma — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:47:49 +0000

After days of rain and clouds, we had a sunny day and got to spend it with Leyna and Mike. After eight years, this couple is tying the knot and we can’t wait to rock their wedding.

Leyna is a self-described “shy” girl, with a perfect laugh that seems to fit perfectly with Mike’s refreshing sense of humor.

Me: It’s a perfect day for a shoot.
Him: Good thing we have one!

ria + brian {an engagement session}

Ria and I (emma) have known each other for over 20 years. We are family in a my “aunt is married to so-and-so…” kinda way. We were flower girls together for my aunt’s wedding, and we sported the itchiest yellow-ruffled dresses imaginable. I can’t wait to rock her and Brian’s wedding!

Alfred, “Brian, are you okay…you look unhappy?”
Brian, “I’m sitting on a sharp rock.”
Alfred, “Dude. Get off the rock.”
Brian, “But I said I’d do anything for the shot.”

These two were so fun to hang out with for the afternoon.

Eller + Lisa {an engagement}

They roll up on their boards.

“We’re dorks,” I whisper to him.
“No we’re not. We have to protect our limbs. They are vital to our business,” he assures me.
“But, I still wish I could skateboard.” I finalize.
“I know honey, I know.”

Eller and Lisa are close friends of our niece and studio manager, Belle, so we were so excited to work them. They have a casual intimacy that we hope we were able to capture nicely…hushed tones, gentle PDA, and the occasional jujitsu hold.

Jen + Red {an engagement}

emma — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:37:22 +0000

Jen and Red are really good friends of ours, and the news of their engagement gave us butterflies. We were so stoked to work with them for this shoot. Jen is a teacher and has access to a classroom, so we just let the ideas flow.

Thanks for rockin’ the day with us. We had so much fun.

Nick and Mylien’s wedding was a great way to kick off the fall season. With beautiful, warm tones and awesome people!

The reception was absolutely hopping, with surprise breakdancing performances and “get up and dance” music. I found myself bopping along to the music several times.

p.s. This is a very long blog post!

Joy and Tom {San Jose Wedding, Ranch Golf Club}

I feel like we’ve been waiting for Joy and Tom’s wedding forever. Shortly after booking, Joy and Tom became Facebook friends and we’ve kept in touch ever since.

Joy is chic, calm, and collected and I give Tom props for telling me…“Nooo….I’m not gonna close my eyes…that’s too dramatic.” Honesty truly is the best policy.

Congrats Tom and Joy, we were so honored to cover your big day.
