U.C. Berkeley Engagement Session

Christian — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:01:27 +0000

We met Farzaneh and Sobhan on the U.C. Berkeley Campus the other day and we took a leisurely stroll around the grounds. We kicked it off at the Eucalyptus Grove, made our way to the Campanile, and finished at the Faculty Glade. The Cal campus made for a lovely backdrop as we captured some sweet engagement photos. Farzaneh and Sobhan will be married later this year and then it’s off to Paris, France to finish up school and start their lives together. We wish them safe travels and a hearty bonnne chance!

Kat and Aaron Engaged

Christian — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:24:52 +0000

These guys have a love that has friends and fun written all over it. Shooting with Aaron and Kat at the Tilden Botanic Gardens in the Berkeley Hills was nothing short of a darn good time. These guys both have a great sense of humor and had a very natural way about them. They are clearly very much in love and we are super looking forward to taking photos at their wedding celebration at the Axis Cafe in San Francisco later this month.

Best,

San Diego Destination Wedding // Maurice and Cindy

Christian — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 23:21:34 +0000

Our first wedding of the 2012 season crossed off a big to do for both Christian and I; shooting a destination wedding. Back in January we flew down to Southern California to be part of Cindy and Maurice’s big day. We arrived a day earlier and enjoyed the warm weather and change of scenery.

The following day, Christian and I parted ways to capture the bride and groom getting ready. I made my way to Maurice’s home in Ocean Beach and Christian met up with Cindy and all the ladies at the Grand Colonial in La Jolla. Once Maurice and his groomsmen were ready to roll they all climbed into his sweet vintage project Ford Fairlane and hit the road. Cindy and the bridal party cruised via limo to the venue and pretty soon we were all ready to rock and roll . The El Cortez hosted the event in the Don Room and what a great setting it was!

We had a lot of fun and hope to shoot more destination weddings in the future!!

Berkeley House Wedding // Sam and Joe

Christian — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:29:53 +0000

We started the 2012 wedding season with a very lovely house wedding. Sam and Joe invited us to document their gathering of close family and friends at a wonderful home in the Berkeley Hills. The ceremony was short and sweet and afterwards we made our way to the couples home in the Diamond District of Oakland. Their home had been transformed into a cozy banquet hall where everyone had a chance to socialize and mingle with one another. Tasha De Serio and her team prepared a delicious meal right in Sam and Joe’s kitchen. It was such a treat to watch the food being prepared on site. We enjoy being apart of small, close knit weddings and love how these events are always so full of meaning and sentiment.

Fairfield Engagement Session // Matt and Krista

Chris — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:18:42 +0000

Taking photos pretty much takes us anywhere and everywhere around the Bay Area. After booking our engagement session, Matt mentioned that he had an awesome hook up for a sweet location out in Fairfield, CA. His boss owns a very large plot of land out that way and Christian and I were stoked for the possibilities. We met our couple as the sun was setting and we captured some bangers! Matt and Krista were super laid back and easy going folks and we’re excited to be shooting their wedding in Petaluma this Summer.

Oakland Engagement Session // Florence and Phillip

Christian — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 01:59:06 +0000

Just before the holidays we spent the afternoon with Florence and Phillip taking engagement photos around the Oakland Hills and Alameda. They were a cute couple with great style and helped us take some sweet shots. They brought along their little dog Maggie and she took part too! We were hoping to shoot their Hawaii destination wedding but we were already booked to shoot another great Bay Area wedding that weekend. We wish this couple all the best in their future together!

holiday and save the date cards

Christian — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:21:55 +0000

A while back the folks over at Minted gave us a shout about being a photographer affiliate. We looked around their shop and asked for some sample cards and have to say we are pretty impressed with the product line. The designs are very contemporary and fresh feeling and with so many choices it was a bit difficult to get our favorites set up. We have a little “shop” over at the site to help our clients along with some ideas. Check us out here http://enb.minted.com

Tilden Park Engagement Session // Kelli and Kevin

Christian — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:35:50 +0000

We met Kelli and Kevin at the Tilden Park Botanic Gardens in Berkeley to take some sweet fall engagement photos. This park comes off as a pretty small garden but Kelli and Kevin had spent some time there and were pretty familiar with the layout. We all took sometime to explore and stop along the way to capture some great moments. This couple was so easy to work with and they were very comfortable taking some direction as well as just taking time to be together and allow us to shoot some special candid moments. We’re really looking forward to working with Kelli and Kevin next year at their wedding!

Newborn Session in Oakland

Brand new babies bring so much joy and fun to young families. We were invited into one such family’s home to take some candid photos of the baby and her new family. Good times and a nice switch from all the wedding and engagement sessions as of late. New babies, go out and get one of your own, cuz these photos should make everybody want one!!

Wedding at Mar Vista Cottages – Sara and Eric

Christian — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:12:32 +0000

About two weeks ago we had the opportunity to photograph an intimate close friends and family wedding at the Mar Vista Cottages in Anchor Bay, CA. When the phone call came in for this wedding we were both super excited! Christian and his family have been visiting these cottages since he was kid and they hold a special place in his heart. It was the perfect setting for such a small, close knit event. Tom and Renata, the owners of the cottages, did a fantastic job setting up the grounds and preparing all of the right details to make it a beautiful evening to photograph.

Sara and Eric brought this opportunity to us and they were such an easy couple to work with. Together with their family they made us feel right at home and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect Fall wedding.
