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:

We’ve been shooting quite a series of engagement session photos lately and we’re excited to share them with you. First up is Ellen and Jer, whose photos were taken in the beautiful nature of Woodside hills. Their wedding is coming up at the beginning of August and we just know it’s going to be a very special event.

Some of our favs:

We recently had a chance to take photos of Laura and Brian’s beautiful wedding at Tiburon’s Corinthian Yacht Club. The day was full of cool details like an SF trolley and an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge at the Community Congregational Church. The bridal party had 9 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen which made for a total of 19 people with the bride and groom!

The couple devoted a good 45 minutes for their portraits and it was really fun to take photos around Tiburon’s downtown. Laura and Brian were blessed with warm and sunny weather for their wedding day and the reception at the Corinthian Yacht Club was truly elegant.

We photographed Laura’s brother’s wedding at Mission Santa Clara about a year ago it was wonderful to see their families come together for another big celebration.
