San Francisco Destination Wedding – Romance in The City

February 4, 2010 – 12:44 pm

In August, we had the opportunity to go to San Francisco and shoot an absolutely gorgeous wedding with some of our very favorite clients. Christina & Brian are an amazing couple that would be any photographer’s dream – elegant, fun loving, and totally into doing whatever it takes to get great images! They had the wonderful idea of taking a few hours before the wedding ceremony to do a photo tour with us showcasing their favorite parts of San Francisco.

All we can say is that if you are comfortable with seeing each other ahead of time , we really recommend doing this!

We met at their house by the Bay Bridge to capture the stunning view that they wake up to each day. After that, we all piled into a friend’s car to hit the town! Shane and I haven’t spent a lot of time in SF, and we couldn’t think of a better way to get an introduction to the city that Christina & Brian love.

to savor this summer

April 13, 2009 – 5:10 pm

Sun-kissed and barefoot, hair tousled by the ocean wind, they played together under the pure blue sky…

Our Trash the Dress session with Jen & Rhett was simply magical. The exuberance and joy that these two exude is contagious. They are is so in love, so youthful and full of life. These images bring a smile to my face every time I see them and make me think of how special it is to enjoy life with the one you love.

Trash the Dress with Jamie & B

December 2, 2008 – 9:56 pm

A few weeks ago, we received an email from an amazing young bride that brought tears to our eyes. Jamie was married to the love of her life 6 1/2 years ago with the hope of a fairy tale wedding and happily ever after. Not long after the wedding, she became pregnant with baby Brianna and felt that her perfect future was coming true.

Then began the toughest years of her life. Her husband was called away for two tours in Iraq and baby B was born without a dad at home. Living in a new town without family and friends, Jamie worked hard to stay positive and raise her little girl with joy. With her husband still away, Jamie was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a partial mastectomy. Then, this past summer she miscarried her second child and fell into a deep depression.

The past 6 months have been extremely challenging for the whole family and Jamie has been searching for ways to honor the struggle she has been through and also find the inspiration to move forward.

When she contacted us, she said that she kept envisioning herself running into the ocean, barefoot and radiant in her wedding gown. She wanted to celebrate her strength and perseverance, and also create a fresh image of herself as a wife, mother, and young woman.

The resulting images are from our ocean Trash the Dress shoot. Jamie and B were amazing subjects, and I think her strength and joy burst through in the photos. I especially loved when they threw themselves on the sand and began making sand angels!

Thank you, Jamie!!!!
