Hui Hui and Wing’s wonderful day started at the Marriott hotel in San Mateo. Wing and the guys were pretty much all ready while the girls needed a few more moments of preparation. The hotel itself proved to be a great setting for many of the photographs. The lobby as well as a fireplace area was full of cool furniture, decorations, and even some nice window light.

We took a drive down to San Mateo’s Central Park and had a great time walking around finding all the great backgrounds for the bridal party portraits. Later, we found ourselves grabbing some Jamba Juice and it’s always a thrill to be walking around downtown in the company of a bride and groom. Hui Hui and Wing’s entire bridal party was a blast.

Quick stop for Jamba Juice!

The ceremony took place in the courtyard of the Marriott and the wedding proceeded to Ming’s Chinese Cuisine restaurant in Palo Alto.

The reception was equally exciting and there were just tons of fun and memorable moments to be captured:

Congratulations to Hui Hui and Wing!! We were so happy to share your day with you.

Sasha and Roman’s wedding took place at the magnificent Hans Fahden Winery in Calistoga. We absolutely love photographing at this wedding venue. Mike and I first came there in the middle of May for our friends’ Roger and Judy’s wedding with Mike as a cutest best man ever! This picturesque little winery is an amazing setting for a small to medium size events.

The wedding of Sasha and Roman was such a beautiful day. The weather was perfect – it was even a bit hazy during the day which really helps with diffusing the bright sun light. The bride and groom were surrounded by their friends and family and it was just a pleasure to photograph their wedding.

There was so much emotion throughout the day. Here is the moment just before Sasha’s dad would give her away:

Just a second before the first kiss:

The bridal party was just a blast!

We always enjoy the time with the bride and groom:

Big congratulations to Sasha and Roman! We wish you guys a lifetime of happiness together.

We had the privilege of shooting the wedding of Sabina and Seva a few weeks ago and it was quite an amazing celebration. Most of the pre-ceremony photos were taken at the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, which is one of our favorite settings on the Peninsula. It was great to have a full hour for the bridal party as well as the bridal portraits.

Sabina and Seva had a large entourage of their friends with them throughout the day and everyone was just having a blast! The ceremony as well as the reception took place at the Russia House in San Francisco.

There was a lot of singing and dancing throughout the evening and there were even a few songs performed at the reception by a group of their friends. The guests and newlyweds really seemed to be enjoying the concert.

Sabina’s simple and absolutely elegant bouquet:

The Allied Arts Guild seems to have a blooming garden year-round:

A Jewish Chuppah ceremony was performed right at Russia House:

And the celebration seemed to have no end in sight:

We are very happy for Sabina and Seva and wish them all the best in the years to come. Congratulations!!!
