We’ve been extremely busy lately with all the weddings and album orders so our blog has been kinda neglected! I will try to update as often as possible with all of our recent photos! This beautiful wedding was taken at the end of July at the gorgeous Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay! Our couple Madelyn & Craig are high school sweethearts and it’s just amazing to see how cute they are with each other!

Here are some pictures from the day!

Thanks you guys for being so fun to work with!! Congratulations again!!

This had to be the hottest day of the year! Jackie & Peter are good friends of my brother’s and he was one of the groomsmen at their wedding. The ceremony was at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga and they also had the traditional Korean and Chinese tea ceremony at Jackie’s mom’s house. The dinner banquet was at ABC Restaurant in Milpitas. Throughout the years, I’ve pretty much seen Peter grow up with my brother so it was unbelievable that someone my younger brother’s age was actually getting married! Jackie and Peter has been together since high school so it’s been a long time! They are super cute together and we had so much fun at their wedding!

Here are some pictures from the day! Jackie getting ready!

We took on a special wedding for this weekend. We usually do not take any weekday weddings but we made an exception for this one since Kathy was adorable and super sweet! Kathy and Nick’s wedding was at the beautiful Palm Event Center in Pleasanton! It was a great day out! We didn’t have the super heat wave that we’ve been having lately and the lighting was perfect! It also helps that the couple was so in love and th camera loves them! Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Bride’s beautiful bouquet!

Of course our beautiful bride!! Doesn’t she look like a much prettier Katie Holmes?

We had another wonderful wedding today! Today’s wedding ceremony for Rebecca & Jamie was at the Congregation Sha’ar Zahav in San Francisco and the reception was at the Atrium Restaurant. We shot Rebecca & Jamie’s engagement shoot last year and had lots of fun so we knew that today would be a blast! Rebecca & Jamie are really cute together and totally matched as a couple!

Here are some pics from the big day!

For this long weekend, we have two weddings! The first one with Zaida and Michael. They had their ceremony at Stanford Memorial Church, which is a beautiful place and then had their reception at Taragon Restaurant in Sunnyvale after. Zaida & Michael are very cute together and were ultra cool to work with throughout the day which made our jobs much easier! They’re so lucky that they have Italy to look forward to after the wedding!

Here are some of my favorites from the day! Bride getting ready..
