Winnie + Wallen in Oakland, Calif.

I don't know if I have made this clear before or not, but I am a total sucker for dogs.  Oh wait, of course I have!  So, when I found out that Winnie and Wallen planned for their two Corgi pups to make an appearance for their portraits I was a little bit excited. Why wouldn't you have the furry members of your family take part in your big day?

Winnie and Wallen had their wedding at the Mills College Chapel in Oakland, and we photographed their portraits among the beautiful buildings and trees on campus.  Later, we snuck them away from their reception at East Ocean in Alameda for some sunset portraits along the water looking out to San Francisco.  Congratulations, Winnie and Wallen!!!

Karen + Uday Engagement

One of the maybe slightly odd things that we photographers do is go on photo walks.  Yep, we just wander around town taking pictures of things.  My favorite part of Karen and Uday's engagement session was walking around the Design District of San Francisco and finding cool buildings and fun textures for their portraits.  An engagement photo walk!  Karen and Uday wanted a San Francisco engagement session since they're getting married in the East Bay this January, and when they mentioned the Design District, I knew that this was going to be something a little extra special.  We also made stops at Sutro Baths, Potrero Hill, Farley's and SOMA StrEAT Food Park.

Alisha + Alan Engagement!

We knew there was something special about Alisha and Alan when they were totally game for having their consultation with us in a dive bar in Woodside.  I was a little skeptical at first, but as soon as we all sat down, it was pretty clear we were going to get along great!

We always love doing engagement sessions in not only beautiful places, but ones that also have some kind of special meaning to the couple.  So when Alisha said she wanted to take pictures in the spot where Alan asked her to be his girlfriend, we were all for it, and then when she said it was atop Bernal Heights, we were like, "Win, win!"  The time we spent photographing Alisha and Alan felt just like hanging out with friends, and before we knew it, it had been almost four hours.  Needless to say, we are really looking forward to their May wedding!

Kerri + Kevin in Mill Valley

As Adm and I walked up the stairs to Kerri and Kevin's suite in Mill Valley, the first sound we heard was Kerri's infectious laughter.  It was the sound of happiness that wraps you in a layer of warmth.  Kerri and Kevin do not live small or quietly.  Their joy is the type that is bubbling over and shared with everyone around them.  Photographing their wedding was like being drunk on champagne.  In the best way possible of course.

They had their ceremony and reception at The Outdoor Art Club in the heart of Mill Valley.  Kerri wanted the style of her wedding to be modern with a French twist, and she pulled every detail together herself.

After having spent so much time with Kerri and Kevin during their engagement session and wedding now, we know these two will never stop having fun.

Junie + Eddie's Photo Booth

Junie and Eddie had a super wedding and photo booth in Santa Rosa this past weekend!  They even made larger than life cardboard cutouts of themselves (such a great idea!) for their friends and family to pose with!  Of course, the backdrop was made by The High Five Factory.  Check out their fun video and stay tuned for wedding pictures!

Oh hey, recognize these two?
