wedding | tracy + john

Sometimes it’s the most intimate details that matter and we’re not talking about accoutrements and decor.

Tracy and John originally had plans for a Californian wedding in the states but the Hawaiian oasis of romance and tranquility won them over. The fact of having their closest friends and family all coming to Hawaii to celebrate with them was all that really mattered ❤

VENUE // Halekulani Hotel

wedding | annie + dan

It was as if the rain clouds foresaw the sprinkling of tears that would prevail for most of Annie and Dan’s special day at Auberge du Soleil. Everyone seemed to be tearing up that morning and it was clear that Annie was still her daddy’s little girl. We, of course, could not hold back tears behind the camera as well.

wedding | kyle + niall

Niall had always known that whomever married Kyle would be the luckiest man in the world. They were great friends through high school, kept in touch when we went to college, and started dating since 2006.

In the spring of 2010, Niall ended up at Sutro Heights Park, situated near Cliff House. The entire western stretch of beaches in San Francisco is visible from this park. There were some incredible artists down on the beach constructing sand murals and this had a lasting impression on Niall. Shortly afterwards, Niall knew how he would propose to Kyle.

He found a way to contact one of the artists that he had seen making the beach sand murals. His name was Andres Amador. Niall explained his ideas to him of how they could work together, Andres taught Niall about how he creates beach sand murals, and after a few hours of discussion we put everything in motion. After reviewing the tide chart with Andres, Niall nailed down the date he would go on bended knee.

Niall would forever be the luckiest man in the world!

wedding | cam + patrick

Cam and Patrick’s beautiful Santa Barbara wedding at the Historical Museum certainly evoked some romance of early Spanish California. Right when you walk onto the premises of the venue, you’re welcomed by the native and exotic landscape of vibrant green succulents. The rustic wooden beams supporting the stuccoed walls and bright terra cotta tiled roofs definitely look like they have held their weight since 1932, which was when the historical museum had its beginnings. With plenty of alfresco gathering space in the courtyards, this venue exudes a sense of relaxation and fostering connection to nature and the surrounding history. It’s no wonder why the lovely couple chose the charming place to complement their intimate and laid back wedding.

Cam and Patrick were glowing with excitement the entire day and we couldn’t be more happy for them!

wedding | pearl + ricky

Today, Pearl and Ricky invited all their vendors out to lunch for a little reunion to reminisce about their incredible Tim Burton-themed wedding. We can’t say how nice it was for a couple to do that for their vendors. Alex from Alex Vo Films shared his highlight video and we haven’t seen anything like it in the wedding film industry. We’re really looking forward to sharing it with everyone soon!

Pearl and Ricky are big Tim Burton fans and their vision for their special day was inspired by his unique style. They knew they wanted something simple, not too cliche and something with a little more sophistication that wouldn’t go out of date years from now. So they did something unlike any other couple and gave their vendors full creative reign, trusting them to use their talents to make the couples’ vision come true. The results were unlike any other wedding we’ve ever seen and we’re honored to have shot such a unique wedding 🙂 You can view the EPIC highlight video by Alex here!

wedding | patricia + chris

Decadence was not lacking in Patricia and Chris’ wedding. Their celebration was held at the Ritz Carlton and the usual cloudy weather in Half Moon Bay was nowhere to be found. It was just sunshine and happy faces all around. We’re excited to be able to share only a few teasers from this private and intimate wedding 🙂

wedding | angela + don

A hundred hearts would be too few for Angela and Don to carry all their love for each other.
Bamboo stalks seemed to sway with the gentle breeze as we snapped away during this momentous day.
We could see the little turtles in the pond perk their heads up at the sound of distant laughter as guests arrived.
The sun was warm and the lighting was as magical as it was almost theatrical.
It was as if someone had cast a spell of serenity on Angela and Don’s special day in the lush oasis of the Hakone Gardens in Saratoga.

VENUE // Hakone Gardens, Saratoga CA

wedding | ashlye + magnus

When we asked how they met, Ashlye recalled “a tall handsome blonde guy walking into the Tipsy Pig one fateful Thursday evening,” who happened to be Magnus. Ashlye was there playing wingwoman for her friend so she thought Magnus would be perfect for her friend. After two failed attempts of setting Magnus up with her friends, Magnus finally asked Ashlye out on a date. Ashlye said no. Then he asked her on a hike to Half Dome with him, to which she said yes. Two years later, Magnus proposed to Ashlye at the top of Half Dome, and she said yes again 🙂

Ashlye and Magnus both said yes to each other in Playa del Carmen, Mexico on a beautiful day that ended in a magnificent new moon night. Congratulations to the lovely couple!

VENUE \\ The Royal Playa del Carmen

wedding | molly + nate

Molly and Nate. Sweetest and the most fun-loving.

For their wedding, they wanted to have a pig roast for all their family and friends to enjoy because it was something they did annually, so why not combine a tradition with a very special occasion they thought. Roasted pig, whiskey, and a live band to kick off a night of dancing… Not a bad idea and it was clear that everyone had an awesome time celebrating with them.

Much love to the very sweet couple!

VENUE \\ B RESTAURANT, San Francisco

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 🙂
