Sho to Wagashi

We had the honor of shooting the “COSMOS: Five Elements” held at Morimoto in Napa recently, where the art of Japanese cuisine, calligraphy and confectionery were transformed into unique visual and edible art forms.

The event featured the food of Chef Ichiro Tsuji, along with the live works of Japanese calligraphy artist, Aoi Yamaguchi, and Japanese traditional confectionary “wagashi” artist, Shiho Sakamoto.

Inspired by the concept of Ying-and-Yang Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water (Mok-Ka-Doe-Gon-Sui), Yamaguchi painted contemporary Japanese calligraphy on Japanese handmade “washi” paper, on which pieces of wagashi, created by Sakamoto, were tastefully placed to complete the the world of each Element. Grounded by Japanese traditional aesthetics and culture of “wabi-sabi”, the three talented artists realized their visions through each and own realms of senses, together creating a unique experience to celebrate blessings from nature.

“If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.”
Stevie Wonder couldn’t have said it better.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mums out there!

Someone once told us that babies are bits of star-dust blown from the sky.
If that was the case, then all mothers must have held a star inside them.

These are the boys we’ve seen grow so fast.

wedding | sara + gregory

It’s one thing to fall in love with someone…

It’s another to feel someone else fall in love again before your eyes, and to feel a responsibility towards capturing that love on camera.
Well, Lacey captured every detail of Sara and Gregory’s day beautifully 🙂

They’ll be each others’ sunset.

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.

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.
