Kim and I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Dick and Iris, at the incomparable Ritz Carlton, Half Moon Bay. To say that this wedding was special is an understatement. First of all, we had the pleasure of working with some of the very best people in the industry, including Taylor Nguyen of Ha Le Events, John and Megan of Enhanced Lighting, and Laurie Chestnutt Floral. They all made our job incredibly easy. But even more remarkable is the love that Dick and Iris have for each other, and their incredible family.

Having their family near during this weekend was the most important thing to Dick and Iris. Here Dick is "chillin" with all of his grandsons. We loved the way these boys were with Dick. So much affection and sweetness... It was quite clear to us these boys love their grandfather, and he adores them

Dick was just so happy and could not wait to turn around and see his beautiful bride for the first time that day.

All day long we were struck but how much Dick adored Iris. It was evident every time he looked at her. He simply could not take his eyes off of her!


Here Dick is waiting to walk to the altar, listening to the opera students Iris teaches sing. He was so moved by the music!


Iris pays homage to her Scottish heritage by having bag pipe players and wearing a tartan. We loved that personal touch!


The butterflies release was a show of its own. They planted themselves on the flower girls and bridesmaids and all the flowers in the ceremony! It was such a fun moment-- full of whimsy and sentiment.

We love this moment between Iris and her daughter and Matron of Honor. So sweet.

Iris makes a quick change into her reception dress. She was radiant, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn.

Iris throws the bouquet!

Thanks so much, Iris and Dick, for including us in your beautiful wedding celebration!
Much love to you both, and all your family.
