We had an amazing weekend with a beautiful wedding in San Jose and a fun engagement session in Palo Alto. Lots of pictures will be coming shortly! :)

For now, we want to share with you photos from Carl Warner, an amazing photographer from England:

BTW, did you notice that the landscapes in the pictures are made entirely of food? We were blown away when we first saw these. View more of this artist’s work here.

Have a great week everyone!!

Akemi and Daniel’s incredible wedding took place just over a week ago at Hotel Nikko in San Francisco. You might remember the slideshow from their engagement session at the Presidio. Natasha and I had so many favorites from this wedding that we’ve decided make yet another slideshow!

We felt like we really connected with this couple and it was wonderful to have their trust. During the hours prior to the ceremony we had a chance to get creative with the portraits. Akemi and Daniel were up for anything and their chemistry made our work too easy! We advise all of our couples that it’s valuable to save enough time for these images.

The portraits were followed by blissful moments during the ceremony:

The cocktail hour and reception were equally impressive and the opulent ballroom at Hotel Nikko looked simply stunning. The guests themselves had so much style in their clothes and hair that we couldn’t put our cameras down for a moment:

Check out the full slideshow below! (turn up the speakers)

Congratulations to Akemi and Daniel!!!

Last week we had an engagement shoot at a place we’ve never been to before: the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park. We were just blessed with beautiful light throughout the session and our couple was up for almost anything. We spent over an hour playing around the gardens and archways of this amazing oasis. Thanks for a great time, guys!!

One of the reasons we love photography is because it gives us a chance to connect with people and capture important and long-lasting memories. We consider it the greatest compliment when we are recommended to other people or our clients come back to take their maternity, baby, or portrait photos. It’s an honor to play this important part in people’s lives and we value our job highly.

This portrait session was just such an opportunity. Will and Kitty’s wedding took place a little over a year ago right here in Santa Clara and we’ve kept in touch. Will had a need for some portraits in support of his company Chandler Building & Development and I was glad to help. We had a great time at a materials showroom facility a few weeks back and here’s a small preview:
