Lara and Chris's wedding

I have had one of the best weddings of this year! Chris and Lara's wedding took place on many different locations. Chris and his groomsmen started getting ready close to Ocean Beach in San Francisco. After that we headed over to Kelly's'Cove for some fun shoots of the guys. This place is really special for them, since they are big surfers. From here we visited the Cliff House for some drinks. The boys started celebrating with some Mimosas. Not soon after we headed over to the Chapel of our Lady at the Presidio for some family photos. In the meantime the bride, Lara arrived; although Chris did not see her until the ceremony. I took some pictures of Lara before the ceremony and I could not wait to see the two of them tying the knot. And just before we headed over to the Golden Gate Yacht Club where their wedding reception was held we stopped at Lyon Street for some photos of the two of them. Additional to myself, there were 2 more photographers helping me to cover Lara and Chris's wedding day. Here are some of my favorites of the day!

Elina and Dave's engagement session

Elina and Dave's wedding is less than a month away. They are a very fun loving couple. Their engagement session took place at China Beach in San Francisco. They have brought their dog Stache along to the session. Since they like to have fun I decided to let them use one of my cameras. I had a great time taking pictures of them and I hope that they had a great time too. Here are some of my faves!

Enjoy the photos and, please don't forget to leave any comment!


China Beach has tons of options. Walls, logs, sand, rocks, ocean, trees etc.
I just love this photo of the two of them which was taken close to the end of the session.


I love playing with different angles. This is my favorite one!
I love how they are looking at each other!



Elina and Dave with their dog Stache. One big family!


Elina was Dave's model for a short time. Dave looks good with my camera.
I might ask him to help me out on weddings.


Walking on the beach while having fun!


This picture was requested by Dave. I think it is a very cool one.

Sonnet and William's wedding

I photographed my first Cambodian wedding last weekend in Novato. Sonnet and William had their wedding ceremony on Friday and their reception on Saturday. They are a very sweet couple and I could have not been happier to make their wedding day unforgettable with beautiful photos. Their wedding was stylish, colorful and all of Sonnet's dresses were hand sewn by Sonnet's Mom. Such a wedding!!! As always, I had a hard time to pick my favorite photos out. Please, don't forget to leave any comment!!

Thanks!


Such a pretty bride!
