Leslie + Tim in San Francisco, CA

_MG_2949I met Leslie and Tim through my good photographer friend Kevin Seifert, whom I shadowed back in the day when I had my first internship at the Durham Herald Sun in North Carolina.  Although Leslie and Tim live in Arizona, Tim used to live in San Francisco, and they both love the city so the Fairmont Hotel provided the perfect venue for them to wed in front of their closest family and friends who came from all parts of the country to witness their ceremony.  We feel very lucky that they included us in their intimate celebration, and we had so much fun whisking them away from the reception for a whirlwind portrait session at their favorite San Francisco spots.

Many congratulations to Leslie and Tim, who are also expecting their first baby girl.

This feels like a dream to me.  I'd love to claim it as my own, but it's Adm's photo:

Photo Booth Awesomeness!

This past Saturday, we set up a photo booth for Leslie and Tim's wedding at The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco (more of the wedding to come later).  The reception was held at the Crown Room, which Leslie and Tim picked for its incredible views of the city.  We absolutely HAD to use the gorgeous downtown view as the backdrop for the photo booth even though we ran into some challenges trying to light such a large window during the day when the light was constantly changing.  Luckily, I had Adm and lighting expert Steve Kosko on hand to figure things out!  The guests got creative and funky, particular photographer friend Kevin Seifert (see below left) who came out from North Carolina for the affair!
