In our engagement sessions, we strive to capture the lifestyle of our couple. We draw inspiration from your story … how you two met, where you went on your first date, where you like to go, what you like to do. Of course, being from the Bay Area, a lot of our clients have spent a lot of time in San Francisco and the city holds a special place in their heart. Lucky for them, San Francisco has a wide range of iconic backdrops great for engagement photos! But sometimes, the most special photos are the ones in unexpected places … the favorite ice cream parlor, the first date location, the favorite restraurant (or food truck!), or where he proposed. Wherever it is, the photos are about you and something you can look back upon to reminisce about how you met and your journey leading up to your wedding day.

But for today, we’re taking a look at portrait session on your wedding day. The portrait session of the wedding day is the one time of the day where we work with you, the bride and groom, directly to capture the formal, witty, gorgeous, playful … most importantly we try to capture the essence of … you. People often think of wedding portraits as just the “formal” pictures that you’ll keep for the rest of your lives. And yes, we do take “formal” pictures, but we also look for those genuine emotions and interactions that speak to who your are as a couple.

Congrats to all our past couples, and thanks for inviting us to capture your beautiful days!

If you saw the sneak peek post of Misha & Sebastian’s wedding, you may have read this already. But this is so impressive I just have to give another shout out to Misha’s mom. She made Misha’s stunning Sari. She made it!! Now there’s an impressive DIY project!

Waiting for her turn to go down the aisle…

One of the most gorgeous cake’s I’ve seen by Jen’s Cakes. The detail on the cake matches their invitation ensemble.
