This weekend we decided to do something a little different: we still went to a wedding, but this time it was as guests!! :) Roger, a friend I’ve known since middle school, was married to his sweetheart Judy at a gorgeous Calistoga winery. Can you guess who was the best man?

To be honest, this was the first time I’ve ever been part of a bridal party. I do have to say it’s a lot of fun though! The Hans Fahden vineyards are simply breathtaking with ponds, flowers, and an actual volcanic cave for the reception. It was great to be able to relax through most of the day, although knowing that I need to make a speech was keeping me from enjoying the wine too much :) All went well and Natasha and I had a great time.

Here are a few snaps from our point & shoot:

The photographers at this wedding were friends of ours and it was fun to watch them work. James and Lisa did a fantastic job with the bridal party shots and we were all enjoying ourselves. It was great to see their approach to wedding photography, as no two artists are the same.

We will actually be photographing a wedding at Hans Fahden in July of this year as well and we’re more than thrilled.

Congratulations to Roger and Judy!! We enjoyed celebrating this important day with you.

After Saturday’s beautiful wedding in very-hot-San Francisco we spent a relaxing Sunday afternoon with friends in cool and foggy Pacifica.

Taken with our point-and-shoot:

We’ll soon be posting a rockin’ engagement session taken at Menlo Park and Stanford.

Have a great week everyone :)

Last Saturday’s wedding took us to the beautiful hillside Almaden Country Club in San Jose. Schayne and the bridesmaids were getting ready at her parents house nearby and we met up with Razzak at the site.

One of the many highlights from this wedding was the combining of two different colored sand during the ceremony. You can still see the individual colored layers which represent two becoming an inseparable one, while still preserving each individual personality. We thought this was such a great and meaningful way to symbolize their bond.

We had a lot of favorite moments from this wedding, here are a few of them:

Guess to which song they’re dancing? :)

Congratulations, guys!!!!

Natasha and I are taking a trip to visit the gorgeous Valley of Fire state park! We’re so thrilled to have a chance to hike and take photos at this amazing place. You bet you’re going to see lots of pictures soon! :)

Our phones should work but feel free to leave a message if we don’t pick up. I’m not sure if we’ll have access to email as well. We’ll be back in the Bay Area on Wednesday, March 26th.
