Family isn’t an important thing.
It’s everything.
Happy holidays, everyone!

engagement | jessica + justin
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love, of generosity and of goodness. That’s why we thought it was sweet when Jessica told us how Justin proposed just a few weeks before Christmas last year. And now, we had the pleasure of capturing more memories for them just before the holidays.
engagement | andrea + neb
These two flew in the for the weekend to visit this wonderful city of San Francisco… and to take portraits with us 😉
Andrea and Neb will be getting married next year in their home country of Serbia, and we’re excited we will be going wheels up to be there to capture their celebration.
wedding | carlyn + ben
We had a great time shooting this Moonrise Kingdom themed wedding for Carlyn and Ben. When they first approached us, it was hard to resist because we’re huge fans of Wes Anderson’s movies!
how deep is your seoul
A quick hiatus in Seoul sparked a fun-fact about couple pairing, but first some photos 😉
Apparently, in South Korea, blood type is a big deal.
It doesn’t just deliver oxygen to the rest of your body—it determines your personality. People in South Korea are automatically stereotyped thanks to their blood type. While this belief originated in Japan, it has taken a firm hold in South Korean culture, and it might even make a difference in who marries whom.
There are positive and negative traits assigned to each blood type:
People with Type A are thought to be conservative and punctual, but they can be also obsessive, uptight, and a bit introverted. However, they think that cheating on their romantic partners is wrong and will thus be extremely loyal.
People with Type B are a totally different story. While they have some good traits like creativity and passion, they’re also willing to cheat on their partners, lazy, and impatient. There’s even a South Korean movie called My Boyfriend is Type B, a romantic comedy about a Type A girl who falls for a Type B boy and has to deal with his impulsive nature.
As for Type AB, they’re supposed to be cool and under control, but they can be elitist, harsh, and judgmental.
Type O means a person is ambitious and athletic. They want big things in life, and nothing is going to stand in their way. On the flip side, they’re pompous and egotistical, but once they decide to commit to a relationship, they’re generally pretty loyal.
So if you ever visit South Korea, you might want to figure out your blood type first—someone is going to ask eventually.
portrait | dahae + erik
They say that when our bodies change from lifetime to lifetime, our eyes stay the same and you can recognize someone from a previous lifetime in this manner.
Dahae is one of these individuals whom this connection was sparked.
She was a bridesmaid for her friend, Michelle’s, wedding, whom we had shot a few years back in San Francisco. She went out of her way to offer a helping hand the entire day while sharing her hopes of one day meeting the man of her dreams.
***
Well… she recently found the man of her dreams and is happily married.
She met Erik in Sweden and it’s quite fateful that their passion and work in music led them to each other. They tied the knot twice, once in Sweden and then in Korea.
It’s funny because we think it is again fateful that work brought them both out to San Francisco again so that we could catch up with her and her new hubbie, Erik.

good mornings

engagement | kaileigh + kyle
When a girl is in love, you can see it in her smile.
When a guy is in love, you can see it in his eyes.
engagement | briseida + sean
The sunsets have been absolutely astounding lately and we were able to capture it when we shot with Briseida and Sean.
We can’t wait to see this lovely couple again next year for their wedding 🙂
portrait | lexie grey + meatball
We had the cutest little Frenchies in front of the camera the other day!
Get ready to swoon over Meatball and his sister, Lexie Grey 😉
portrait | emily
She’s a talent and good people.
Emily, actress and singer, delighted us by gracing our sights and lenses with her care-free allure recently 😉
We’ve got nothing but love and smiles for her.

The heart itself cannot break, for its very nature is soft and open. What breaks open when we see things as they are is the protective shell of ego identity we have built around ourselves in order to avoid feeling pain. When the heart breaks out of this shell, we feel quite raw and vulnerable. Yet that is also the beginning of feeling real compassion for ourselves and others.

baby | masson
“I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle”
-Vincent Van Gogh
