engagement | jenna + dimitri

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 😉

engagement | sadie + brian

So when we first met Brian, it was on the set of an independent film that we were commissioned to shoot a movie poster for. Next thing we knew, he was calling us to shoot his wedding. We can’t begin to express how grateful for all the wonderful clients-turned-friends that we have met along the way 🙂 Here’s to Sadie and Brian and to the fun times to be had on their special day!

engagement | valerie + tony

We had a great time with Valerie and Tony! And how did we meet them… funny story 😛 Let’s just say it was the last wedding of 2012 that we were covering and they were the videography all-stars (soon-to-be husband and wife all-stars) behind Bowtie Productions covering the same wedding. At the end of the wedding, Valerie and Tony  saw our team kick up our shoes in joy of completing the last wedding of 2012 and told us they liked us and they were going to hire us for their big day. Fast forward a few months later and low and behold…  we are super excited to be there for them!

They definitely let their personalities shine through during the session and the was no lack of laughter and jokes! Congratulations Valerie and Tony and see you soon 😉

engagement | alpha + paul

Alpha and Paul recently shot their engagement session with us and we can’t express how over-joyed we are about how sweet their photos turned out. The perfect vibe in the perfect setting, thanks to Big Daddy Antiques 🙂 Enjoy!

engagement | mona + john

mh01We had a wonderful time venturing around San Francisco for Mona and John’s engagement session… not to mention our pit stops at Chantal Guillion to satiate Mona’s (and our) love for macaroons 🙂

We’re looking forward to their big day later this year!

engagement | andi + mike

We absolutely had a blast with Andi and Mike on their engagement session  and definitely looking forward to their big day next year! For their session we went to Smitten, Fatted Calf Charcuterie, and finished off at Ocean beach with a Fatted Calf picnic 🙂 Andi’s hair and make-up was done by the talented Johanna Vu.

 

Congratulations to another wonderful couple!

engagement | daisi + kevin


Boy, was it hot when we shot Daisi and Kevin’s engagement session! It must have been at least 100 degrees out that day. Regardless, Daisi still looked so elegant with her 60s inspired hair and makeup by Joli de Jackie. Jackie always does such a flawless job and it’s always a pleasure working with her!


I love the little print-out note that Daisi brought!


These block letters were so adorable, I had to get it for Daisi and Kevin for their session.


Doesn’t Daisi look to gorgeous here? I love her dress! Simple yet so sophisticated.




Daisi and Kevin even brought their Beagle, who was howling with excitement the whole time 🙂


Stay tuned for photos from their wedding coming up in a few weeks!

engagement | lareina + ryan


Modern with a dash of charm and delight. Lareina and Ryan both share love for the arts and music so the SFMOMA and the Clift Hotel were perfect backdrops for their engagement session.

 

 

engagement | laura + dusty

These two were very adorable – you can tell from the photos alone that the couple is completely head over heels for each other. The photos were shot at Jeff Fisher’s (Tennessee Titan’s coach) brother’s house, which was a wonder in itself! You can tell the house belongs to a regular safari adventurer – knick knacks from all around the world probably… not to mention a boar’s head on the wall above a grand piano! Also, a side note for brides-to-be since weddings have been running rampant all summer long, Laura happens to be a certified coach for “Bridal Bootcamps,” where brides can gather up all their girls for a day of fun “get fit” activities, ranging from group mile jogs to underwater yoga. That’s what I call quality girl time! You can contact Laura at bridalbootcamp.com for more details 🙂

Here’s a sneak peak at Laura & Dusty’ engagement photos:
