Beckie & Doug are adorable and you could just feel the love and it really comes through in the pictures! The bridal party was hilarious too! Without further ado, here are some favorites from their 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..

The weather today was perfect for the wedding of Vicky & Michael! The ceremony was held at the beautiful Conservatory of Flowers located in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This place has to be the most beautiful part of GGP! The banquet was held at The Mandarin Restaurant by Fisherman’s Wharf. Vicky was so cute and you can totally tell she was super excited and happy to marry Michael and likewise for Michael! They’ve been together since they were in the 9th grade!! I love happy endings to love stories like theirs!

Without further delay, here are some pictures of the big day! We’ll start with the bride’s pretty bouquet!

So happy to see another Saturday with beautiful weather for our couple for today. Mariesol and Michael’s wedding ceremony was at the beautiful St. Joachim’s Church in Hayward and the reception was at the Bridge’s Golf Club in San Ramon. I knew from our experience with M&M at their engagement shoot, that they would be so much fun on the day of the wedding!

Here are some pics from the day!

Today was another beautiful day in the Bay Area! We had the great opportunity to shoot Jenn & Dan’s wedding in Carmel at the La Playa Hotel. The special thing about this wedding was that everyone was from out of state and made the effort to come all the way to California just to help celebrate Jenn & Dan’s wedding!

Here’s some pics from the big day!

Beautiful bouquet! I love orange flowers!

Our second engagement shoot of the day was with Aimee & James at China Beach on the other side of San Francisco! This is one of my favorite beaches to shoot at because it’s usually not as crowded and it’s super clean compared to the other S.F. beaches!

Aimee & James were just awesome to shoot with! They were such good sports about getting their feet wet!

Here are a few favs from the day!

Can’t wait to shoot their wedding in August!

Our first engagement shoot for the day was for Maxine & Loren at Palace of Fine Arts and Crissy Fields in San Francisco. After countless weeks of rain, it was finally a beautiful day!It was super warm out too! Maxine & Loren are such a cute couple and they were up to do anything! That just made the whole experience super fun!

Now for some pictures!

Can’t wait to shoot their wedding in Sept!

Today was another beautiful day! We had the pleasure of capturing Carolyn & Michael’s wedding day! They were such a fun couple to work with and we just had a blast! The ceremony was at the Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Oakland and the reception was at Blakes at Boundary Oak in Pleasanton. Carolyn was simply beautiful and the whole wedding was so touching! A couple of special touches included a suprise song from Michael, the movie theme for the table numbers, their proposal video, and the list goes on!

Beautiful bride with her bridesmaids!

For today’s second engagement shoot, we headed to Carmeal to Bry & Andrew’s place. We basically shot the engagement pics in the small town right behind their place! It was such a colorful town! Reminded me a bit of Burano in Italy. Bry and Andrew are just a gorgeous couple! I think Bry could be a model! They were also very easy going and excited to do anything we asked of them! We got some great shots!

Going into a gated area to take this shot!

So excited to work with them again for their wedding!
