Offering creative, fun, young, and modern wedding photography
A year ago today we were in Seattle and Vancouver and I am grateful for the friends who kept us company on this trip.

Yesterday night was one of those stay-at-home evening where you snuggle up with your partner to watch a good movie and have some hot chocolate. We were watching Call of the Wild (have you seen it you dog lovers out there?), and it’s a great story about a domesticated dog name Buck in the late 1800′s learning how to survive in the wild. The movie totally reminded me of the rich history of the Gold Rush era and where better to learn about the Gold Rush than in Sacramento. Sacramento, California, is our state capital where pioneers had once settled during the days of gold nuggets and mining. Fast forward a century later and this is where Kevin and Monica had their wedding celebration. These two lovely pair tied the knot it Hawaii but wanted to celebrate with family and friends back home. We went out to the Capital building to capture some of their wedding portraits in the late winter afternoon sun.

Benson and I did a Europe trip last spring to 6 cities, and Paris was one of them. When I look back at these pictures I can’t believe it’s been almost a year ago since we were there. I never got around to making use of the videos I took with my Canon S95 so here are some short clips of the sparkling Eiffel Tower on our first night there, and the sweetest Parisian woman making crepes for us. On our last morning in Paris we waited for her to open shop so we can buy another delicious crepe from her before we took the Metro to the airport. Paris is beautiful and everyone was so nice to us unlike what others have said! I wish we had more time there to explore. Touring the Louvre museum took all day and drained all the energy out of us, and going to Versailles to see the Palace was another full day.

The crepe looks yummy!! So jealous, when Irwin and I went to Versailles, it was rainy and stormy so they closed the gardens 
guess we’ll have to return to see it one day!
Not sure what to wear for your winter engagement shoot? Here’s a few tips and ideas on outfits that will keep you warm, comfortable, and stylish for your shoot. From left to right, this fall and winter you’ll see lots of fur vest every where, so you won’t go wrong with this trendy outerwear that will keep you toasty during your few hours outdoor. If you feel like dressing up a little to show your feminine side, a sweater dress with stockings and booties will rock your session for sure. Sweater dresses are always in style every season, so if you have one already in your closet pull it out and dress it up with accessories. Lastly a simple solid color dress always work well for photo shoots so be creative and add your own style with your favorite (edgy, retro, glamorous) accessories. This red dress will be catchy in front of the camera and perfect to highlight the bride-to-be.

I love San Francisco City Hall for all its beauty and grandeur. The grand staircase itself makes me feel like I’m in a palace, and the lights that shine through the windows set the magical ambiance of the building. The Rotunda under the dome is magnificent as well as the detailed carvings surrounding the interior of the building. When ever I walk into the building it feels like I’ve been taken away to another time. Maybe to the 1800′s with a lady wearing a poof dress walking down the staircase, or the 1920′s with an entourage of reporters swarming the place to talk to the major.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure in meeting Jeffrey and Ceecee at City Hall to document their civil ceremony, and here are some photos we took after their ceremony. We also went to Alamo Square for a few photos to capture the essence of San Francisco but the sun was extremely harsh around that time, so we left in a jiffy and went to the Presideo. I was as happy as a clam when we found a spot in the shade with the sun shinning through the trees. Enjoy!
