Recently, we had the opportunity to work with local yoga instructor, Nicollete Tura of The Illuminated Body. We met at a nearby park and took photos for Nicollete to use on her website and social media. We always enjoy shooting fitness portraits and we had a great time working with Nicollete.

A Quick City Wedding
We love shooting weddings at San Francisco City Hall and so far 2014 has been the year for it! Our most recent city hall clients, David and Cristen, brought us one we will always remember. We met the couple at their home in Berkeley and took some fun candid portraits of the two of them finishing breakfast and buttoning up some final details before heading out to city hall. Once there, we had the pleasure of being the only folks to witness their intimate ceremony. After the officiant declared David and Cristen married we watched as the couple exchanged some more personal vows that each of them had prepared. It was such a lovely moment to be part of and reminded us why we do what we do. A few days after their city hall wedding in San Francisco we traveled up the coast to a home in Sea Ranch that David and Cristen had rented for some R&R. We captured some wonderful moments with these two just hanging around the beautiful landscape that is the northern California coast. We absolutely loved working with these two and and wish them all the best as they move on together.

Intimate wedding at Mar Vista Cottages
Small and intimate weddings always have a lovely feeling about them and we love having the opportunity to photograph them. Alison and Noah had a small, casual, family and friend's wedding up the Northern California coast right outside of Anchor Bay at the Mar Vista Cottages. We have been lucky enough to document weddings at this special place the past 3 years and we continue to appreciate all this venue has to offer. Alison and Noah exchanged vows beneath a wonderful handmade hapa as the sun set behind the coastal cypress grove. After the ceremony it was down to the lower green where local vendors provided cocktails and served a fantastic dinner inside the glass house at a long family table. Well-wishers gave toasts and recounted fond memories while enjoying yummy deserts from Franny's Cup and Saucer. Cafe lights lit up the dance floor as folks wrapped up a wonderful celebration of Alison and Noah's love for one another.

Elegant Civic Ceremony in San Francisco
Tom and Safi, whose engagement session we shot earlier in the month, had also mentioned the idea of us shooting their wedding at San Francisco City Hall. We had yet to firm anything up at the time of their engagement session so we were excited when shortly afterwards they came to us to say they would love to have us document their civil ceremony! City Hall in San Francisco really is an amazing place and while the ceremonies can be short and sweet it's always nice working with the great light and architecture throughout. We want to say thanks to Tom and Safi for letting us capture their special day and congrats! We loved working with you guys!

Personal Trainer and Fitness Portraits in Oakland
Suzanne got in touch with us in need of some natural light fitness portraits for her growing pilates business. We met at a local park and took photos of Suzanne for her to use on her newly designed website. We started out by shooting some professional headshots and after an outfit change we switched gears and took photos of Suzanne a little more candidly. Suzanne was looking for some images that captured specific pilates poses as well as portraiture that conveyed the pilates lifestyle. We loved working with the fall colors and evening light and the variety that our location provided.
