Can you guess what all these boxes mean and why we are so excited?

We are moving!!!! Our destination: San Mateo! We are happy about our move to a more central location and having a much bigger place. As soon as we’ll settle in we’ll be able to invite everyone over and expand our lines of albums, prints, and cool photographic products even further.

Our cat Tosha decided she’d be much better off living with Mike’s mom (who is much more responsive to Tosha’s constant begging for food) :) We’ll miss her a lot and promise to visit often!

We’re moving on Wednesday and Thursday of this week with the help of our friends (thanks so much guys!).

Stay tuned for fun pictures of the move!

Alison and David is the last couple we’ve recently shot in our North Beach engagement session marathon :) We came to this part of the city three times in the last few weeks and I have to say that I really love this location - we find new and interesting scenes there every time.

These guys live in SoCal and don’t have a chance to visit the Bay Area very often. They came to their engagement session straight from the airport and we were excited to have a chance to meet David for the first time. Their wedding will take place at the awesome Brazilian Room in Berkeley and we’re thrilled to photograph at this venue.

Alison and I discovered that we share a great passion: really good chocolate!! She mentioned that there’s going to be a lot of it at their reception and I’m looking forward to their wedding twice as much now! ;)

We met Vivian and Edmond on Washington Square in North Beach when the sun was still high on the horizon, so we decide to get some coffee (I’m getting addicted to it :) and chat for a while.

During most engagement sessions we don’t really have a plan of where to go - we just meet with our couples in the spot they pick and then go wandering around, looking for beautiful light and cool backgrounds. Vivian and Edmond, however, did their homework: they came to North Beach some time before and scoped out some of their favorite spots.

Spring is prime-time for the engagement sessions and sometimes we even have a coupe on the same day. This time it was Liz and Nick’s turn and they chose to go to North Beach in SF.

We met in my favorite cafe “Puccini” on Columbus Avenue, got ourselves some yummy cappuccinos, chatted, and even got to meet Nick’s cousins from Canada! We decided it might also be a great idea to relax and get a drink so we just moved on over to the bar next door :) When the light got magical we went out exploring the streets of North Beach.

On our way we found colorful doors, dark bars, beautiful reflections, steep stairways, bright lights and an interesting mural. We love shooting outdoors soooo much; it gives us so much freedom of imagination and the whole world becomes our studio!
