Niki and I had the pleasure of traveling to Healdsburg a couple weeks ago to one of the most charming weddings! Andrea and Steve infused so much of their own ideas into this sweet and rustic wedding. We loved how Andrea put together hand made books for their guest to leave personal messages. Both Andrea and Steve made jam and incorporated the same paper to accent the jars. These cute little treasures also doubled as the place cards for guests! Love that! And to top it all off Steve and Andrea served hand scooped ice cream in our favorite- mason jars! Check out all the sweet details below.
Andrea gets into her dress with the help of her mom. Such a sweet moment... we love the details that go along with this time of day.
Steve waited so quietly for Andrea to arrive. I loved this moment. Full of anticipation and still there is so much grace as well.

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.

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

Last week, Kim and I met up with Felicia and Brian, on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. (Yeah, we have a great job!) The sky was grey when we started, but it was the perfect backdrop to the vivid colors of the boardwalk, and the vibrant smiles of Felicia and Brian.
As we hit the beach, the sun came out. Brian and Felicia were great sports, as Kim and I explored every nook and cranny of the train trestle, right next to the Boardwalk.
Felicia and Brian, thanks so much for spending the day with us. We are so excited about your wine country wedding-- a little over a month away!

Kim and I were thrilled to photograph Laura and Jon's wedding, at Murietta's Well in Livermore, CA. You may recognize this stunning couple from their Hitchcock-inspired engagement session. But our history with Jon and Laura goes further than that-- we met Laura and Jon while working with Alicia and Eric (Jon's brother). It was a perfect match, both for them and with us! We just can't say enough about his couple. Along with their families and friends, they are the very best kind of people. :)

Laura and Jon, thank you so much for including us in your amazing day. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.

Laura:
What a special day. Working with such talented, positive, and sweet individuals such as yourselves made our day stress-free (except for Jon having the stomach flu :). When I saw you two walk through my mom's front door when we were getting ready, I knew the fun had started. I can't get over how easy-going, professional, and extremely detail-oriented you two are. I am singing, and will continue to sing your praises. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Kim and I had the pleasure of spending a warm afternoon with Andrea and Steve, running around the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Like many people, Andrea and Steve met at work, at an historic building nearby. Since their story started there, it seemed the perfect place to start our session.
We explored all of Andrea and Steve's favorite places, learning about all the things they love to share-- good food, coffee, books, and cooking. Of course, the Ferry Building offers all this and more. :)
Andrea and Steve, we had so much fun with you! Our session was a blast and we were floored by how natural you two are! We are so excited about your July wedding!
