Veronica and Dave’s life is about to change…

It has been an amazing year for Veronica and Dave. They got married last year, moved into a new place, and now — as you can see — are expecting their first child. Well, second if you count their pup Lorenzo, who is keeping a close eye on the situation. Nonetheless, they will be welcoming another major chapter in their lives in only a few short weeks! Congrats Veronica and Dave! We are looking forward to meeting the little one!

Vicki Wolfe - These are wonderful in a totally different way from all your other wonderful shoots. You manage to capture what’s going on in people’s lives so touchingly. Love the one with the pup eyeballing what he doesn’t yet realize is the competition!!

Rose and Chris, engaged!

They say “love conquers all” and apparently it can…because Rose is a Giants fan, Chris is a Padres fan, and soon they will say, “I do.” Their journey together began as playful banter through an NFL email group as each defended their beloved teams. Fate later stepped in as Chris and Rose found themselves employed for the same company. With that, their platonic “friend non-dates” eventually turned into “real dates” over wine & gelato throughout San Francisco. That led to Chris deciding to go “ALL IN”, while in Sonoma, where he dropped to one knee and asked Rose to marry him. She happily said yes to her best friend, and soon they will be exchanging vows at the Meritage Resort in Napa. Congrats Rose & Chris! We’ll see you at your wedding this fall!

mo - These were the most joyful and fun-loving engagement shoots I’ve seen yet. Well done, Suz and Matt!

Ami and Paul’s Wedding Amongst the Vineyards of Sonoma Wine Country…

The beautiful henna had been applied from the mehndi celebration, the mandap was in place, Tommy The Horse was at the ready, and family & friends were gathered in their most festive attire on a perfect day at Trentadue Winery. Paul, with his mighty sword in hand, climbed upon his horse for the grand Baraat entrance. Waiting for him was his new mother-in-law who lovingly applied the ceremonial tilak to his forehead to welcome her new son. The festivities could only be topped by one special person… Ami. At just the right moment in the celebration, Ami made her entrance in her stunning red dress, taking everyone’s breath away. The ceremony emphasized the happiness, harmony, and growth in their new journey of life together. However, that journey would first start with one great party fusing Indian and Latin music which kept the dance floor packed. Congrats Ami & Paul – thank you for sharing such a wonderful time in your lives with us!

A wedding of this caliber takes a lot of coordination and support. We’d like to give credit to some of the great co-vendors that helped put it all together: Alyssa at Trentadue Winery, Laura of Laura Miller Design (flowers), Alex from AMS Entertainment (DJ), John and Little Tommy (Baraat) from Fancy Wheelin’, and last but certainly not least, Amy and Mili from Planning Elegance for keeping everything running smoothly. Thank you!

Annika’s day at the park…

It has been over a year and a half since we last saw little Annika, and once again we’re amazed at how quickly the little ones grow! Now, she runs all around the park and speaks 3 languages well enough to tell her father his Japanese sounds funny. But the bigger news is just around the corner– soon Annika will have a little brother! We can’t wait to meet the new family member. And, I bet someday soon, Annika will be telling her little brother that his Japanese sounds funny, in Spanish. Congrats Grace, Eli, and Annika!

Jack and Jill…

Nothing like experiencing the summer weather in San Francisco, but for Jack and Jill, they took it in stride and viewed the drizzle at Cavallo Point as romantic…and actually…it is. However, any setting would be romantic for them as their chemistry seemed to part the clouds to allow the Golden Gate Bridge to make a brief appearance. The exploration of their new home town together continued as they found the most wonderful alley filled with art galleries and murals. Their love of art and the city-by-the-bay made this tiny but colorful alley a perfect place them to have a little giggle and a little fun. Congrats Jack and Jill! We look forward to your wedding in only a few short weeks! And since it is at Wente Vineyards in Livermore — you can bet it will be sunny and warm! Promise!
