Karis & Roland Wedding @ Swendenborgian Church San Francisco

Kari & Roland were married at the historic Swendenborgian Church in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. Built in 1895, the heavy timbered roof is supported by trees cut from the Santa Cruz mountains.
Ceremonies inside this quaint church are challenging to photograph as there are only a few windows on one side and the rest is lit by candlelight. Flash wasn't allowed during the ceremony, but that's where our special low light lenses come in handy! The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was intimate. The bride and her dress were stunning, and the groom handsome. Family and friends were loving and fun.
We were honored to be trusted with the task of capturing such a special day with special people at a special place. We wish Kari & Roland many years of happiness.

Teresa & Mario Wedding @ Nines Brentwood 8-29-2009

Teresa & Mario's wedding was a fantastic and beautiful event that everyone enjoyed. The couple had been together for ten years before getting married, but you could see their love for each other was still fresh.
We had shot their engagement photos at a beach in Half Moon Bay a few weeks prior. We showed their engagement slideshow at the reception.
We also tried something new for Teresa & Mario. We recorded a short message from each before the ceremony which we incorporated into their wedding slideshow montage. We're excited how it turned out. It adds a nice personal touch.
Our new partner, Janell, joined us to help shoot the wedding. This gave us THREE perspectives! Some of the shots Janell got were very interesting angles. She's a talented photographer and we're excited to have her helping us more in the near future.
