San Francisco Sonoma Wedding Photography

Dustin is a white boy from Wyoming. Aimee is a tropical island girl from the Philippines. We met through Myspace there, we said it.

Aimee loves her iPhone. Dustin loves that Aimee loves her iPhone except, when it breaks and she asks him to figure out why.

Dustin takes Aimee’s bras and hides them when she leaves them out.

Aimee has a subscription to Maxim magazine. She reads the articles.

Dustin likes to steal Aimee’s sodas.

We like to play band hero until the wee hours of the morning when our throats finally hurt too much to carry on… my wayward son!!! (Ok couldn’t resist that)

Speaking of singing Dustin can’t. Aimee can!

When Dustin is stubborn Aimee forgives him. When Aimee is stubborn, Dustin is still stubborn.

We hug and kiss at every opportunity. Aimee is Dustin’s snuggly squirrel and Dustin is Aimee’s cuddle bear. Oh yeah, we’re THAT couple. So sweet it makes you want to barf but, that’s ok. That’s just us and we get that every couple loves each other just a little bit differently.

Oh yeh, one last thing. We BOTH play the rump trumpet in bed while sleeping. Aimee just doesn’t own up to it.

BALSLEY FAMILY PHOTOS, MICHAEL DAVID WINERY – LODI, CA

Phew! I know it’s been a little while since our last update. Aimee and I just returned from a superb vacation in her home country, the Philippines. Now we’re heading down to L.A. for a short fun weekend but, before we left I wanted to share this family session with everyone. We did family photos for the Balsleys last year and it’s great to take photos every year and document their growth as a family over time.

They recommended a great little spot in Lodi, CA called Michael David Winery where we were able to roam around and find little spots here and there to take some fantastic photos. We had a really fun time photographing the Balsleys and we look forward to doing it again next year. Enjoy the photos!

MOLLY & IRVIN ENGAGEMENT, SYCAMORE GROVE PARK, LIVERMORE

POSTED IN Engagements

Molly and Irvin have been close friends to us for a number of years now. In fact, they’ve been together nearly, exactly the same amount of time Aimee and I have been together. We have been waiting FOREVER for these kids to get engaged and they finally did so, this summer. Needless to say, we were ecstatic and couldn’t wait to do their engagement photos.

We went to Sycamore Grove Park in Livermore and had a great time wandering around, finding places to photograph them. Their engagement session is easily one of our most memorable and we couldn’t be happier for them. We’re incredibly excited for their wedding next year! Here’s some of our favorites from their engagement session.

ANGIE & LUIS WEDDING BRIDAL SESSION SAN FRANCISCO

POSTED IN Weddings

Angie & Luis are good friends of ours. They got married a few years back but, they never quite got the photos they wanted of their wedding. We decided it’s time they got some great photos of themselves that they would be happy to display on their walls in their home. We ventured out to San Francisco at the Legion of Honor and Crissy Field to take some bridal session photos of them. Afterwards we did a handful of photos of them dressed a little more casually at Fort Point to finish off the day. It was an honor to photograph them and deliver something they’ll truly enjoy looking at and remembering and reminding them of their wedding day.

This couple is so super sweet. We had a lot of fun shooting their engagement photos. We were back at the Japanese Friendship Garden at Kelley Park in San Jose. It’s such a great location. Lots of beautiful nooks and crannies to take photos in. Dianne & Charles are super cool and chill and that made for some great photos. Take a look and as always, enjoy!
