Olga and Greg’s beautiful San Francisco wedding had the weather Gods smiling on them with a really nice and warm weekend for their wedding. Who knew that San Francisco could be so hot in the middle of April? The wedding took place at the Century Club of California, an elegant Edwardian building which survived the earthquake of 1906!

We spent some time shooting on Alamo square as well as the area next to Barbara Boxer’s house.

A ceremony moment:

The reception was full of fun and energy: food was exquisitely decorated, and there were tons of singing, dancing, toasting, and even musical performances by the family and guests. Mike and I had a great time with this fun crowd!

Congratulations, Olga and Greg!!

Last Saturday’s wedding took us to the beautiful hillside Almaden Country Club in San Jose. Schayne and the bridesmaids were getting ready at her parents house nearby and we met up with Razzak at the site.

One of the many highlights from this wedding was the combining of two different colored sand during the ceremony. You can still see the individual colored layers which represent two becoming an inseparable one, while still preserving each individual personality. We thought this was such a great and meaningful way to symbolize their bond.

We had a lot of favorite moments from this wedding, here are a few of them:

Guess to which song they’re dancing? :)

Congratulations, guys!!!!

Akemi and Daniel’s incredible wedding took place just over a week ago at Hotel Nikko in San Francisco. You might remember the slideshow from their engagement session at the Presidio. Natasha and I had so many favorites from this wedding that we’ve decided make yet another slideshow!

We felt like we really connected with this couple and it was wonderful to have their trust. During the hours prior to the ceremony we had a chance to get creative with the portraits. Akemi and Daniel were up for anything and their chemistry made our work too easy! We advise all of our couples that it’s valuable to save enough time for these images.

The portraits were followed by blissful moments during the ceremony:

The cocktail hour and reception were equally impressive and the opulent ballroom at Hotel Nikko looked simply stunning. The guests themselves had so much style in their clothes and hair that we couldn’t put our cameras down for a moment:

Congratulations to Akemi and Daniel!!!

Erica and Mike’s wedding was the first one of the upcoming wedding season. We’ve been looking forward to photographing this event for a long time and we were thrilled to be there.

When we met up with Erica at St. Christopher Church she looked absolutely gorgeous and was just a bit nervous prior to the ceremony. Mike and the guys were at the Church ahead of the girls and helped to seat the guests upon their arrival.

The beautiful reception was held at The Villages Golf and Country Club in the footsteps of the San Jose mountains. I absolutely love spring time, when nature is fresh, the grass is still green and everything around is flowering. On our way to the reception Mike and I noticed that the parking lot was just surrounded by blooming cherry blossom trees. These gorgeous trees turn completely white when they bloom and turn into small puffy clouds. At sunset, we sneaked out with Erica and Mike for a few more photos. The soft evening light and the background of blooming trees yielded some exciting photos.

The reception had some crazy dancing going on! Mike and I didn’t stop for a moment trying to capture all of the fun.

Congratulations to this wonderful couple! We had a great time at your wedding.
