Our session with Jenna and Dimitri was in the hills of Orinda at their home. It was a pleasant surprise when they proposed to have a myriad of activities they wanted to include in their session. Chickens, canines, a rope swing, a tandem, and finally a glass of whiskey 😉
With Sheena and Josh, it was like hanging out with my fun-loving friends and making jokes the entire time. And it’s funny considering that neither of us knew what to expect since Sheena had contacted us through our website and immediately booked our studio for her special day without a consult. It was quite an honor knowing that Sheena fell in love with our style and aesthetics and was intent on hiring us for her wedding. When I showed up for her engagement session, her immediate response was “You’re real!” And my reply, “Of course I am!” To that, we both laughed and the laughter continued the rest of the session.
Happy engagement to Sheena and Josh! We’re really looking forward to their beautiful ombre peach wedding next fall 🙂
We had a great time with the Tran family during their session and just wanted to share a few of our favorites 🙂
An alluring bride and her prince charming.
Beautiful bridesmaids and playful groomsmen.
Lots of dancing and good merriment.
That pretty much sums up this very classic and modern wedding at Casa Real ❤
We are very excited to share this set since we had created new color tones and effects to capture the mood of Eileen and Peter’s special day 🙂

… there is no greater love.
It is a joy to see each one of the children we photograph grow up right before our cameras. And sometimes we wished we got to see them more often than once for their annual holiday family session. Owen and Todd have grown up so fast since we last saw them. Seeing Todd outrun his parents and Owen now stumbling around like a little penguin was a reminder of just how fast the time flies.
Owen kept trying to lean in close to find the lizard in my camera lens…
The part I always look forward to most is getting a hug from the kids at the end of the day 🙂
When I first met Alden, he was still in his mommy’s belly. Now Alden can waddle like a duck, giggle, drink juice like a big boy and scroll through photos on a cell phone. My my… how times have changed 😛

Alex and Natalya’s engagement session couldn’t have been more perfect. They were ready to go when we met up with them and Alex had the whole itinerary for the session planned out. Locations were scouted and wardrobe were all in check and it was really great to see them have fun with all the little details of their 1920’s themed shoot 🙂
Congratulations to Alex and Natalya!
We’re super excited about Melinda and Cuong’s engagement. When they had mentioned bringing their little pup, Alexa, we didn’t expect her to be the cutie that she would be. See for yourself. These photos couldn’t have come at a better time too. Alexa definitely does the “Miley” better than Miley.
It’s been 10 years for JE and we had a great time celebrating their 10 year anniversary at the Folsom Street Foundry. It was great to see some faces that we’ve had the pleasure of working with the past few years, as well as many new fresh faces! Here’s just a rundown of all the lovelies that we got to work with. All these photos are on JE’s website as well 🙂
