V Sattui Winery Wedding – New Year’s Eve


Share this :   | | | |

Have your ever considered having a New Year’s Eve wedding? If not, then maybe you should reconsider. Rachel and Joe held a gorgeous night ceremony at V. Sattui Winery on New Year’s Eve 2013. All of their family and friends from across the world came to join them.  They celebrated until mid-night, topping the night off with a celebratory NYE countdown. 3, 2, 1 then confetti canons went off! What a perfect way to end the night, start off their new life and new beginning together.

Rachel and Joe have a quite interesting story. Rachel is Joe’s best friends sister. Joe met Rachel through his best friend one night while having drinks. Joe’s best friend clearly stated before they went out to have drinks that Rachel was off-limits. Joe took this has an open invitation to sweep Rachel off of her feet. His best friend and Rachel’s brother who also officiated the ceremony didn’t like this idea of them together at first. Although, he quickly warmed up to it after seeing how happy they made each other. On the day of the wedding I quickly saw this first hand too, how happy they made each other and the spark they had in their eyes. Right away you can see that they truly love each other and care for each other deeply. This is evident in the first look and all throughout the day. Please enjoy their wonderful and festive highlight video.

Lake Tahoe Elopement – A Styled Shoot


Share this :   | | | |

I’m really excited to share this new wedding video with you. This is my first time taking part in a styled shoot. I had the chance to work with some really amazing vendors and people I now call friends.  We shot in Lake Tahoe at Black Bear Inn and we also made our way to the lake for some scenic sunset shots.

We had two amazing models but what made it even special is that their actually engaged to be married this year. This helped a lot, because they already had chemistry and I was able to capture them truly having fun rather than really posed and staged. Please check out all of the vendor links below, I highly recommend all of them. Special thanks to Elyse for organizing this shoot and make sure to check out her amazing photos here. Enjoy!

Nikki + Mike | The Winery SF Wedding on Treasure Island


Share this :   | | | |

Where do I start! How about how fun this wedding was to shoot?!? I have to say this was probably one of the funnest couples we worked with in 2013. We knew it was going to be a fun day when the groom put on black and purples Converses to complete his suit . They really knew how to enjoy themselves and were really laid back in front of the camera. Thanks to photographer Colson Griffith for referring us, check out his awesome images here. Also, special thanks to Ashley Ramirez with Eighteenth Avenue Events for planning the day without a hitch.

Nikki and Mike had an amazing wedding at The Winery SF on Treasure Island. The view during the ceremony was absolutely breathtaking. Fun Fact: The ceremony was held outside and during the ceremony the Treasure Island Music Festival was next door! This made for very interesting vows to say the least. During their ceremony and vows you heard the blasting sounds of bands like Holy Ghost, Antwon, and Giraffage. This didn’t faze Nikki or Mike one bit, it really showed how much they are willing to go with the flow. And thankfully our microphones do really well with not picking up too much background noise, so you don’t even hear it in our edit. I’m really excited to share this super fun edit and wedding. I hope you enjoy and let some of Nikki and Mike’s super fun attitude rub off on you. Enjoy!

Amanda + Michael | Round Hill Country Club Wedding


Share this :   | | | |

Amanda and Michael had a fun wedding at Round Hill Country Club. The day started at Lafayette Park Hotel with prep. They both got ready in separate rooms but had all of their family and friends with them to share the joy and laughter. After prep Amanda met her father and grandpa, this was our first time capturing a “father daughter first look”. Definitely something we highly recommend for brides and grooms who don’t want to see each other before the ceremony. Next we made our way to St. Mary’s Catholic church, were Amanda and Michael shared beautiful hand written vows. Immediately after the ceremony they had a festive grand exit. They ended the night at Round Hill Country Club where they held their reception.

We loved capturing their day. What we noticed the most throughout the entire day is how much their family and friends were genuinely happy for them. There was never a moment where they didn’t give a loving stare or an emotional smile seeing Amanda and Michael together. We hope you enjoy their Round Hill Country Club Wedding.

Veronica + Peter | St Regis Hotel Wedding San Francisco

Veronica + Peter | St Regis Hotel Wedding San Francisco

When we first met Peter and Veronica, we knew their wedding was going to be one to remember. If you can recall from last year we shot their Save The Date Video. This gave us a chance to really get to know them so we were naturally excited about their upcoming wedding. And that excitement continued on the day of the wedding.

 Their St Regis Hotel wedding in San Francisco was a blast! Both Veronica and Peter looked like they were models cut out of a magazine page. Their Ceremony had the most drop dead gorgeous view of SF as their back drop. And to top it off they both shared very intimate vows that really personalized their day. We’re thankful they trusted in us to capture their wedding and we hope you enjoy their highlight video.
