Here are a few pictures from our move last week… We’re happily settling into our new place and can’t wait for the couch delivery tomorrow. San Mateo seems to literally be in the center of everything: the amount of stores and convenient freeway intersections is still surprising us.

We’re getting ready to post photos from two amazing weddings that we recently shot. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

We couldn’t believe it, but we managed to fill up the truck. It’s true that you don’t know how much stuff you have until you try to move:

Tired, but happy, at the end of the day:

Mike

We are still not unpacked and pretty much living out of the boxes. I spent half an hour yesterday looking for my jacket and then just decided to wear something else :) Sooo, thank you to everyone for being patient, we’re finally catching up with all the work.

Elya and Borya came a long way for the their engagement session - they live in San Diego and flew to Bay Area just in time for the photo session. They got a bit lost in a city, but everything turned out just fine in the end: we took pictures at sunset in SF’s Embarcadero area and then even got to play in the dark! As usual for San Francisco, it got to be a little chilly by evening so we had to do a lot of hugging, running and jumping to warm up :) It was a blast!

Elya and Borya are planning a beautiful wedding just a couple of months away in Los Altos Hills’ Beth Am. We’re very much looking forward to it!

The move to our new place was successful and we’re already enjoying all the new space. We’ve documented the event well (I’m glad Mike was patient with me taking pictures of him moving heavy boxes around :) and we’ll be posting a full photo reportage next week. We’re slowly catching up on all of our recent shoots - we’ve had quite a few awesome sessions in the last couple of weeks!

We first met Leann and Nate a year ago at Nate’s sister’s wedding. Jessica married Trevor at the beautiful Martinelli Event Center in Livermore. We love photographing the same family’s weddings, seeing some of the same faces and feeling like we’ve known the families for a long time!

On this day we met up at the Ferry building under the giant clock, went to explore the Embarcadero center (I just love all it’s interesting architecture, staircases, and beautiful flower beds!) and then made our way back to the waterfront.

Leann and Nate are getting married in 2009 at the gorgeous Palm Event Center in Pleasanton. I’m sooo looking forward to this beautiful winery wedding! We’ve recently had quite a few consultations for weddings taking place next year and we’re always happy to meet with people to whom photography is a priority.

Enjoy!

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!
