This weekend we’re out in Cozumel for a A+M’s destination wedding. We’re super excited to out here where it’s even warmer and the air is much more humid. We can’t wait to share photos from their wedding, but here are some snaps we took during our few off days.
Just a few peeks at a project in the Southwest a few weeks ago. These are a compilation of random landscapes that we shot while traveling through Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Enjoy 🙂
Jasmin and Scott were all smiles on their wedding date and who could blame them. All their closest family and friends were there to witness their union 🙂 Jasmin was absolutely stunning in her lace dress and Scott well-prepped in his suit!
All our love to the happy new couple, Jasmin and Scott!
Julie and Brenton’s wedding had, to say the least, a lot of steez (aka style). But that is no surprise, considering Julie is a fashion stylist and Brenton is one of LA’s finest celebrity hair stylists. Their color palette of yellow and teal fit their personalities perfectly. Noor, set in Los Angeles, was the place where they said they vows under an amazing full moon and where the party went down. There was so much good energy and vibrations all around. Not to mention lots of surprise dance numbers and some!
Congratulations to the fine wedded couple!
Lake Chabot is a recent place I discovered through a client session and so glad I know about it now. We got to go out on a patio boat that day and here are just a few fun water fowl shots that I got while there. They got pretty close to the boat and were flying about a foot away from me at some points.
Photos were shot with a 24-70mm.
Doesn’t that Chicago dog combo from Fletch’s look delicious?
Recently, we had the opportunity to work with several small businesses in San Mateo and some of you may recognize some places. As many know, we’ve been in our necks with a busy wedding season, so it was definitely nice to switch gears and do some fun commissioned commercial work. Lots of the small businesses were restaurants and it was hard to keep our appetites at bay. Check out some of our favorites shots from the project!

Cajun Seafood special, also from Red Crawfish. Yum!
Tea time at Hop On Sushi! The head chef is such a kind soul, if anything come by and visit.

It was sooooo good to see these boys again! Oz is already going to be charmer and Zander is just too adorable! It was only 6 months since we last saw the boys and now Zander is turning one!
Big brother Oz walking baby Zander around the field of flowers was to melt for. They were both all giggles!
Anddd….. That’s a wrap. Zander finally ran out of fuel after a day of eating flowers, running up hillsides, and cupcake smashing 🙂
Most couples always start off a session with “I’m going to be terrible” or “I never look good in photos” but when we show them previews of their photos, they just smile. And that is the best feeling.  Our session with Jee and Derek was one of those sessions. But, they are more photogenic than they thought 🙂 That’s the thing… Everyone is photogenic. And that is something every couple should embrace. Just have fun with it and the beauty will unravel before your eyes. We took Jee and Derek to some places they had never been to even though they are San Francisco natives and we all had a blast! Check out some previews of the beautiful Jee and her soon-to-be hubby!
Arriving at Lake Chabot was like finding a hidden gem in the valley. The sun was out and the water was just glistening in the sun. Even Christine and John stood there with me for a little while to take in the scenery. With Christine’s calm beauty and John’s charm, it is obvious that the two are so very sweet for each other. Check out some teasers from their engagement session and you’ll see what we mean 🙂
Jinny and Bernhard got married at the Clos la Chance winery in San Martin and it was one great celebration! They had family all the way from Taiwan and Germany come to attend their special day and it was definitely one to remember for all!
Cheers to Jinny and Bernhard!
The last time we saw Kenzo, he was only a few months and now he’s turning a whole year old! He’s grown so fast and he still has his little quirks we noticed from our first session, like grabbing his feet and legs. Our session was at Baker beach and although it was a little windy, Kenzo was a trooper and still managed to squeeze out some giggles! He’s such a chub-ball and we can’t wait to see him again!
Happy birthday to Kenzo!!!
