Wedding at Happy Acre Farms and Wente Vineyards

Our friends, Matt and Helena, recently tied the knot and we just wrapped up the images. These two are super easy going and down to earth and they approached their wedding day stress free and ready to have fun. They had their wedding at Happy Acre Farms and Wente Vineyards in Livermore and we're so happy we could be there.

Lifestyle family portraits

Earlier in the summer, we met up with this little family and took some lifestyle family portraits at their home in Burlingame. While most of our sessions take place on location at nearby parks, we love capturing everyday moments at home. We spent an hour or so with Michelle and her family and took photos of the three them just hanging out. The results yielded plenty of super cute and candid shots!

Wedding at the Tulip Garden in Golden Gate Park

Last month we photographed Dave and Christine's wedding at the Tulip Garden in Golden Gate Park. We met these two about a year ago when we took photos of their friends wedding up near Point Reyes. We were really excited when they reached out to us and couldn't wait to be part of their day. Dave and Christine's wedding ceremony took place at the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden on the edge of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. After a short and sweet ceremony the bride and groom and their guests made their way across the street to the Beach Chalet for some good food and dancing. Congratulations Dave and Christine!

Wedding at Murrieta's Well in Livermore

Earlier in the year we photographed Faviola and Jeff's wedding at Murrieta's Well in Livermore. The venue had been on our radar for awhile but this was our first time shooting there. It was worth the wait! The venue grounds and wine cellar are small but super cute and provided a great atmosphere for Faviola and Jeff's intimate wedding. We loved working with these two from and are happy we could document their day.

Sebastopol Vineyard Wedding

One of our first weddings for 2015 happened to be at one of our favorite wedding venues. We love shooting weddings at the Vine Hill House in Sebastopol and when we found out that Lori and Cade were getting married there we were super excited. Lori and Cade are both really easy going, genuine people and their wedding day was a lot of fun. As always, Dan and his team at the Vine Hill House kept everything moving seamlessly. Lori and Cade had such a great vision for their day and we are so thankful we got to be there to photograph it. All of our best to Lori and Cade!
