We recently had a chance to photograph a totally amazing wedding at the Officers Club located at 1 Fort Mason. It was our first time meeting Shai, while we had already had a chance to get to know Irina prior to their wedding day. With the weather being slightly overcast on this particular Sunday in November we were blessed with truly amazing light throughout the day.

Irina and Shai were glowing with smiles and capturing great photos of them was really pretty easy. Following a Jewish Chuppah ceremony, the reception took place amid beautiful orange walls (lit with stage lights) and fantastic music provided by DJ Aykut.

A moment during the toasts:

We are proud to have captured your day, Irina and Shai!! Thank you for sharing all of that happiness with us.

I wanted to post this quick preview to the awesome wedding we’ll be blogging about soon. Can’t wait!

Liz and Nick’s wedding took place in the East Bay with a ceremony at Our Lady of Lourdes Church with a reception following at HS Lordships in Berkeley. It was a beautiful day which included a tea ceremony, a touching Church procession, and much happiness throughout the day between the newlyweds and their guests.

The doors of the Church made for a unique photograph:

The ring bearer decided the ceremony was proper time for a nap which made the flower girl really upset :)

We were so happy and proud to capture these beautiful moments… To Liz and Nick: we wish you a lifetime of happiness together!!!

It’s been a busy month and we are a bit behind on the blogging! September’s last weekend found us at the beautiful Solage Calistoga resort for the wedding of Vivian and Edmond. The grounds of Solage are as relaxing as they are elegant and it was an awesome setting for this celebration.

A quick portrait just prior to the ceremony:

The emotion-filled ceremony left everyone speechless:

The nearby vineyards were an amazing setting for the portraits:

We loved all the orange color at the reception:

Once they broke out with the party hats there was no stopping to the dancing:

Our engagement session with this couple took place in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. You can view those photos here.

Congratulations to Vivian and Edmond!!! We had a great time with you at Solage :)
