Sasha and Roman’s wedding took place at the magnificent Hans Fahden Winery in Calistoga. We absolutely love photographing at this wedding venue. Mike and I first came there in the middle of May for our friends’ Roger and Judy’s wedding with Mike as a cutest best man ever! This picturesque little winery is an amazing setting for a small to medium size events.

The wedding of Sasha and Roman was such a beautiful day. The weather was perfect – it was even a bit hazy during the day which really helps with diffusing the bright sun light. The bride and groom were surrounded by their friends and family and it was just a pleasure to photograph their wedding.

There was so much emotion throughout the day. Here is the moment just before Sasha’s dad would give her away:

Just a second before the first kiss:

The bridal party was just a blast!

We always enjoy the time with the bride and groom:

It was great to have someone take a shot of us as well!

Big congratulations to Sasha and Roman! We wish you guys a lifetime of happiness together.

This time of the year we are usually pretty busy and we always appreciate a little break. The weather has been great and on Friday we went hiking and set up a little picnic on Baker beach in San Francisco.

Here are a few snapshots from my trusty point-and-shoot :)

Hope your weekend was wonderful, as well!

Akemi and Daniel’s gorgeous March wedding at hotel Nikko was published in the summer 2008 edition of Today’s Bride! It is one of the six Real Weddings in this season’s magazine.

Wooohooo!! We couldn’t be more excited. Akemi and Daniel are an awesome couple and we were so honored to capture their day!

Akemi and Daniel’s dazzling custom-size album also just came in from the manufacturer. It looks fantastic! We simply can’t wait to show it to them.

More images from the wedding can be seen here.

Have a great upcoming weekend, everyone!
