About a week ago we had the pleasure of shooting Julie and Brian’s San Francisco City Hall wedding photos. Their family and close friends joined them from around the country for this intimate celebration and we had a great time capturing their wedding photos.

San Francisco City Hall weddings usually take place during the weekdays, and Julie and Brian’s wedding was the last ceremony of the day on a warm and sunny Friday afternoon. Arriving in a beautiful white limo, Julie was met by Brian and everyone who had gathered in front of the City Hall. The emotional ceremony was followed by a photo session near the Palace of Fine Arts:

Congratulations to Julie and Brian!! It was truly a special day and we were happy to be a part of it.

This weekend we had a great time taking photos of two weddings right here in the Bay Area. The Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in San Jose is a fantastic venue for wedding photos. Gina and Jason’s day started with Natasha capturing the preparations at the Bride’s house while I met up with the Jason and the guys at a nearby hotel.

The weather was anything but predictable and we had everything from a light rain drizzle to full sun and lots of clouds in between. Of course, what that means for wedding photos is amazing light! The ceremony in particular was blessed with soft, diffused clouds and the sun came out for the first kiss as if right on queue. What a spectacular show!

Cinnabar Hills is definitely one of our favorite golf clubs and wedding venues in the Bay Area. The landscaping of the hills as well as the spacious reception room allow for an amazing celebration. We had a blast capturing Gina and Jason’s wedding photos. Here are some faves:

These cufflinks were a wedding day present from Gina to Jason – can you read what they say?

In the limo with the girls:

The smallest of the three ring-bearers didn’t see what all the fuss was about :)

Congratulations to Gina and Jason!! We were thrilled to be a part of your big day.

Last weekend we were thrilled to shoot an amazingly beautiful Afghan wedding at the Marriott Hotel in Fremont. We had such a great time getting to know and working with Maira and Aref. We knew from the beginning that they were really into photography and they also put so much thought into the details of their wedding. The Afghan wedding photos we captured on this day included traditional dances, a special ceremony with henna, amazing tabla drumming, and much more.

Natasha and I love working with clients who are into really creative and artistic photographs and we love being inspired by them. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves:

Love the elevators at the Fremont Marriott!

We couldn’t get enough of these shoes!

Having fun in the hallways of the Fremont Marriott.

We took photos of Maira and Aref’s fun engagement session on the Embarcadero just prior to the wedding day and these will be going up soon. Hope everyone’s having a great weekend!
