Healdsburg Barndiva Wedding // Sami + Rodger

Alison Yin September 5, 2019

Sami and Rodger’s natural and organic, yet somehow glam (I mean, look at those two!) wedding at Barndiva in Healdsburg was SO much fun. Yes, their wedding was more than two years ago but I still vividly remember how much fun we had. We had a blast photographing it and all their guests seemed to have a blast being there - the two probably go hand in hand.

We’re a little slow to share this gorgeous wedding (from 2015…eep!) but it’s definitely worth the wait! Elaine and Justin had a beautiful ceremony in the Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park (one of our favorite spots!) followed by a fun celebration on Treasure Island.

San Francisco Presidio Wedding // Kelly + JP

Alison Yin August 15, 2019

If you’ve never been to the Presidio put it near the top of your “Places to Visit in SF” list.  With its lush forests and filtered light it’s truly gorgeous, and Kelly and JP treated their guests to its beauty for their March wedding.

These are reusable mugs we got at Sarah and Tom’s Tahoe wedding almost five years ago. Adm calls me “Monkey” and you might see why if you keep reading…

Happy 10 years to us!

Alison Yin June 27, 2019

Hi friends! I can’t even really believe I’m writing this… that this year marks our 10th year of being full time wedding photographers. SAY WHAT?!! 10 YEARS! It’s pretty incredible thinking back on the hundreds of weddings we’ve been a part over the last decade, and truthfully, it makes me feel super old, but that’s not what this post is about.

Yesterday was a tough one navigating multiple cancellations and postponements.  Lining up all the same vendors for new dates is a logistical nightmare and we are doing our very best to accommodate our clients as much as possible. 
In case this i Hi 👋🏽! Remember me?! I’ve taken a (much needed) break from social media so I’m popping in to say hey!  Consistency is definitely my number one problem when it comes to posting and when things like the election and coronavirus happen soc Wowowowowowowow!  We’re definitely still recovering from our whirlwind 72 hours in Florida for Jamie and Ryan’s incredible wedding but what a wedding it was!  Or rather, dance party.  You guys, there was SO.MUCH.DANCING.  I guess I should These two are getting hitched this weekend!  Pretty pumped to be in Florida for their wedding! 😎☀️ #alisonyinweddings Such a fun portrait session with Amber and Sean. They had a break between their ceremony and reception so we had plenty of time to stop off at a beautiful park to take some photos.
#alisonyinweddings One of my favorite frames from Amber and Sean’s wedding a couple of weeks ago.  Great light + color + framing + her smile = 👌🏽. We’ve lagged on doing story sneaks for our last few weddings but it’s no longer the holidays and it&rs
