We met up with Yeni and Francis on the Embarcadero and had a great time exploring the area for their engagement pictures. Their wedding is coming up in November at the brand new Casa Real in Livermore and we can’t wait to shoot it!

Looking forward to your wedding day, guys!!

Rufina and Kevin’s wedding took place at the gorgeous Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. We’ve been looking forward to photographing a wedding at this scenic spot ever since Rufina contacted us to be her wedding photographers over a year ago.

Villa Montalvo is built in a Mediterranean-style on 175 gorgeous acres. The setting was stunning for photos of both the ceremony and the reception on this wedding day. The villa is usually open to the public and contains hiking trails and gardens - so if you’ve never been here, definitely check it out.

Just before the ceremony we came out on the balcony for a few quick portraits:

The Alice in Wonderland cake was simply amazing!

Thank you for sharing this important day with you, Rufina and Kevin! We were proud to capture these moments for you.

Natasha and I have recently had the pleasure of shooting Natalya and Rob’s amazing wedding. The art we create is always a collaboration - an equal effort by us as well as the couples we photograph. Natalya and Rob seemed to always get our style and it was a thrill to be with them on their wedding day.

The day started at Blow, a fun and lively salon downtown, and later we visited Nob Hill as well as the Hills Bros. building on the Embarcadero.

The walls at Natalya’s house were beyond belief:

The bridal party was a blast! The energy level was there all day:

So many wonderful settings on Nob Hill:

The ceremony and reception took place at Sir Francis Drake Hotel on Union Square. We really love the style of this classic masterpiece and the weddings we shoot here always turn out amazing!

The details of the day were simply exquisite:

HUGE congratulations to this wonderful couple :) We were so happy to be a part of your big day!

Natalya and Rob’s engagement session from last December can be seen here.

Anna and Alex’s amazing Friday wedding took place right here in San Francisco. Their ceremony was conducted at the beautiful City Hall and some of the photo ops we checked out included the Legion of Honor and the Hills Bros. building on the Embarcadero.

The mood and energy of the bridal party was great and it was fun to ride along with them in the limo throughout the day. We were thrilled with the portraits we were able to accomplish inside of the City Hall and the day seemed to really go smooth with an ample amount of time for each of the photo locations.

Alex was just glowing during the ring exchange:

Anna and Alex were great and trusted us with most of our crazy photo ideas throughout the day. This beautiful shot was taken on the edge of a water puddle while walking along the Embarcadero:

The intimate reception took at the French restaurant Boulevard on the Embarcadero. The dimly lit room provided a very special setting for the toasts, joy, and celebration that took place:

The ambiance as well as the food at this restaurant were just dazzling:

…and the party continued into the night:

We’re very happy for you, Anna and Alex!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful day with us.
