You couldn't have asked for a more perfect Bay Area day for Katie and Nick's wedding last summer. Everything took place at Nick's parents' home, and the views of the Bay were spectacular all day long, but then, the sun went down, and somehow it became even more breathtaking. Situated above the twinkling lights of Oakland and San Francisco, it was as if Katie and Nick and their guests were in their own dream world, dancing above the city, far away from reality. Actually, these two seemed to be in their own world throughout - even though they have been together since they were 15, they couldn't keep their eyes off one another all night.

The only time I fancy myself a writer is when I do these blog posts. Here I am sitting at my desk, spinning tales of weddings and engagements and sharing all the fun we have with our couples in just a few sentences. Kara is actually a writer, and when she sits down to write, she is not pretending. The first time I met her (back in 2008), I had the chance to listen to her read one of her stories, and let's just say, I think I'll stick with photography.

Cambria Elopement // Kim + Josh
I met Josh during my freshman year at UNC - we actually lived in the same dorm, and we spent a lot of time hanging out during college. Even though he's from North Carolina, he moved out to California right after graduation, and that helped us keep in touch over the years. It also means that Adm and I have been able to get to know Kim these last five years or so that they've been together, and these two make such a great couple.
Read MoreMill Valley Art Club Wedding // Rachel + Chris
Rachel and Chris' wedding was so much fun because it was so obvious how much they're loved. We love it when weddings are filled with people who are the biggest champions of the couple getting married because there are so many moments and emotion for us to photograph. Not only are these two incredibly close with their families (just look at Rachel's dad as he's walking her down the aisle), but they also have an incredible group of close friends. It was such an honor for us to be part of their wedding - Congratulations, Rachel and Chris!
