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.

MIKE & JING: Mavericks Lodge – Half Moon Bay Photographer

POSTED IN Weddings

During a wedding, you see happiness, tears and especially – love. Mike & Jing’s wedding was just like that. There were a lot of laughs and there were a lot of moments that made you tear up…and made my glasses fog up behind the camera.

Their wedding took place in beautiful Half Moon Bay and the reception was at Mavericks Lodge among scenic views and the calm waters of the bay. The talented Alena Jean Whiting of Alena Jean Flower shop & Nursery provided the floral arrangements for the day.

Here are just some of the great photos that we were able to take during Mike and Jing’s wedding. We hope you enjoy and please let us know what you think!

MATHIAS & CHRISTINA: Varberg, Sweden – Wedding

POSTED IN Weddings

This post is long overdue and we have been excited about it ever since we learned we would leave for a destination over 5,000 miles away! To give a little back story to this post, Dustin works with Mathias at an internet company headquartered here in the Bay Area. Mathias works as a Sales Engineer and has a passion for photography himself. He and Dustin occasionally share stories and information about the passion of being a photographer.

When Dustin learned that Mathias was getting married, he and Mathias even joked a little about having us do their wedding photography. Well, as they say, many a truth are told in jest and as it turns out this was certainly the case. Before we knew it we were planning and taking care of details to travel to Sweden and be Mathias and Christina’s wedding photographers! Isn’t that awesome?

Their wedding took place at a castle in the beautiful town of Varberg. While we were shooting their wedding, we learned some cool facts about weddings in Sweden:

1. The bride and groom give each other gifts from family heirlooms.

2. The bride and groom walk down the aisle together at the beginning of the ceremony.

3. They love to sing songs about drinking and happy celebrations

4. When the bride leaves the room, all the girls in the reception area will have to fall in line and kiss the groom on the cheek, and vice versa when the groom leaves the room.

5. The bride and groom leaves the reception/party first before anyone else in the party.

Thanks again to our friends Mathias & Christina for letting us take part in your awesome wedding!

JING & MIKE: Engagement – Ghirardelli Square – Baker Beach

POSTED IN Engagements

We had a super fun time hanging out with Jing & Mike during their engagement session. We we’re able to visit a couple of pretty popular spots in the city before we ended up at the well known Baker Beach. It was sooo cold at the beach but, Jing & Mike were great about handling the cold and letting us get some great photos of them. We got a lot of photos in this set and we can’t wait to post their wedding pictures so, stay tuned!

JEAN & CARLSON: Engagement – Asilomar Beach – Monterey, CA

POSTED IN Engagements

Polka dot dress, red shoes, 1940’s pin-up look, balloons… these were ideas that Jean was gushing to me when I asked her what she wanted to do for their engagement session. Dustin and I always get excited whenever our brides share their ideas. Usually, grooms just follow along with what the bride wants but, this time Carlson had his own ideas for locations and we also helped them find certain spots! It was really a collaborative effort.

Jean & Carlson are a cute and laid-back couple. It was a blast hanging out with them as we talked about dieting, great food, movies, the Philippines and all the other stuff about life and love. We can’t wait to rock their wedding in September!!

We want to thank Chase Nick, makeup artist extraordinaire, for sharing her talent with us! Now onto some photos!
