We had a fantastic Engagement Session here in San Francisco on Sunday morning. Starting at 6AM matter of fact! Getting to know Christine and Stephen a bit better, and making the shots was worth the sleep deprivation!
I couldn’t decide whether I liked BW or color better for these next couple so I’m delivering both. Leave me a comment and let me know which you like better:
Thanks Christine and Stephen! We’re looking forward to your wedding in August!

This past Saturday we had the absolute pleasure of getting to spend our day at Kiyomi and Lan’s Wedding in Berkeley. You may remember them from their Engagement session. They are as much fun as ever, and that part of their personalities radiated all day.
Check her out!
How cute is this guy:
Sneaking a peek:
They gave me some time to make some great portraits, so we took advantage and I found a spot with a killer view of San Francisco:
Sorry ladies, the guy in middle is taken. I’m not sure about the other two though. 
The flowers were by Moe’s Flowers in Berkeley:
The bridesmaids did an awesome hat dance! Love it!
They brought some mean moves to the dance floor! They had a fantastic routine worked out for their 1st dance.
There was a photo booth complete with costumes, and I caught the happy couple. I just stuck my lens in the curtain, not sure if they knew I was there or not.
Kiyomi and Lan, we’ve had so much fun working with you guys that we’re sad there’s no more shooting to do! Congratulations, and have a fabulous honeymoon in Japan!

We spent this past Saturday with Tuyet and Duy, who you may remember from their Engagement/Bridal Session. These are some our favorites from the day:
Tuyet had different outfits for different parts of the day, this one for the first tea ceremony was particularly colorful!
Tuyet’s brother anticipates the arrival of Duy and his family for the presentation of the gifts and tea ceremony:
Some of the details:
I couldn’t decide between the ring shots, so you get both :-) :
They were bombarded by confetti upon their entrance to the reception:
Thanks and Congrats Tuyet and Duy!

We’re leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow morning for the WPPI convention. It is a MASSIVE gathering of wedding photographers from all over the world, where we meet to share ideas, view the latest products, and simply enjoy each other’s company. I may be a little slower to respond to emails and phone calls while we’re away, but I will still attempt to check in at least once a day while we’re gone. Otherwise, I will respond promptly on Thursday morning, when we will be back to business as usual.
Here is a Las Vegas photo of mine from a couple years back to set the mood.
See you soon!
