When we first received the contact form from Sveta about her upcoming wedding we knew we were speaking with a true fan of our work. Sveta first heard of Choco Studio over a year ago, when SF Gate published an article about us and who we are as a couple. We aim to find people who connect to our style of seeing the wedding day and more often than not we can tell right away if our photographs have reached them. It’s a true joy to work for people who understand and appreciate our approach.
Even though we only had a chance to finally meet Sveta and Dae on their wedding day, right away we could just see that they are made for each other. The love between a couple on their wedding day is truly contagious.
Here are a few favorite selections:
Wedding ceremonies at the SF City Hall are always short but nevertheless full of love and laughter:
Dae could not take the eyes off his beautiful bride even for a second :)
These two were so happy and so into each other I think they barely noticed their photographers. Love it!
Congratulations Sveta and Dae, we wish you many many years of happiness together! Can’t wait to have the rest of the photo gallery ready for you.
We love to photograph City Hall weddings! View more information here: San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photographer.
Maria Ross - I love the angle of the ceremony photo; time froze for the moment and nothing else exists.
Of course, my award goes to the “floor” one. I was lucky to spend 3 days with Sveta and Dae right around their wedding – I feel that this photo captured their interaction, life, love for each other that I observed – in one shot.
I took a tour around the website and really enjoyed your work. Thank you Natasha and Mike.
