Stephen + Danniela = Married!!!

Stephen and Danniela were married October 10th in downtown San Francisco, a beautiful fall day to match a beautiful bride. It was a lot of fun photographing the "getting ready" process and then heading over to the hotel for portraits. Stephen and Danniela didn't want to see each other before the ceremony, so we had to be a little sneaky when we were outside to be sure they didn't get a glimpse of each other. The ceremony was filled with family, friends, and so much love - it was wonderful to witness these to become husband and wife. After the ceremony we took some more portraits inside and then headed back out onto the street, which was a ton of fun with the whole group. The reception was a blast as everyone celebrated the union of Stephen and Danniela by dancing the night away - thank you two for allowing me to capture your special day!!

Mike and Joanne are Husband and Wife!!!

Mike and Joanne were married October 3rd in the Presidio at the San Francisco Film Center. It was such a wonderful San Franciscan day. Joanne got ready at the Kabuki hotel, looking more then lovely when we left to go meet up with Mike and have their first sight at the Palace of Fine Arts. We spent some time taking portraits at the POFA (after Mike and Joanne had their moment, which was more then sweet), and it was a lot of fun photographing their intimate wedding party in the various places we could find (which was a bit challenging since there were a number of people out enjoying the beautiful weather). We finished up the pre-ceremony portraits at a great wooded area before heading down the hill for the ceremony. Their ceremony was tearfully sweet, very moving as they exchanged vows and became husband and wife. After walking down the aisle, we headed into some real fun - their wedding party had some funny, touching toasts - and their wedding guests know how to dance. Everyone was tearing up the dance floor, especially Joanne's dad and Mike's sister! I had a blast photographing this special day for you two - thanks for allowing me to be a part of it!!

Also, I have blogged some of my favorite photos of the day, but Mike and Joanne are now the Featured Wedding on my website, so you can check that out for more photos!
