You could tell that Halley couldn't wait to be married to Jessamine. Halley had to be one of the most excited grooms we've ever seen. And who wouldn't want to be married to the gorgeous and incredibly smart Jessamine?

Jessamine and Halley were married a few weeks ago near the Dahlia Garden in Golden Gate Park. They both have incredibly friendly and warm families. It was a true joy to see both families come together to celebrate this new marriage. Following their wedding, Jess and Halley had a beautiful cocktail reception in the park, followed by a dinner in the private room at the always amazing Absinthe in Hayes Valley.

Jess' entire family stayed in a flat in the Haight--that's such a great idea to have your family staying together in one spot. I was able to photograph Jess' family helping her to get ready, and caught a few nice moments with her parents and her grandmother.

Ray and I took Jess and Halley to Stow Lake, the Chinese Pagoda, Huntington Falls (all within GG Park), and finally over to Fort Point for a relaxed and elegant portrait session.

The whole idea of having an engagement session is so that Ray and I have a chance to get to know our clients better before their wedding. We also get to see how a couple interacts with each other. Sometimes they're super lovey dovey, other times they have more of a quiet and laid back display of affection.

A few weeks ago, we took Joy and Jason out to Golden Gate Park and the GG Bridge for their engagement session. We were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather and beautiful light which I absolutely love.

When we first met at our client consultation, Jason was a laid back guy. Both he and Joy are attorneys doing great work in the community. That day we were lucky to see the funny side of Jason. He kept whispering in Joy's ear, and I would have loved to hear what he was saying! You can really see the love between Joy and Jason and it's wonderful to be working with two people who are making a difference in the world.

Our 2008 wedding season is in full swing! A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of shooting an engagement session for Misono and Dan who are getting married in Virginia later this year. Dan is a film student, and Misono is a web designer and it's always fun to work with such talented and creative people.

Misono asked us to photograph them when the cherry blossom trees were blooming in Golden Gate Park, and we had a narrow window of time to do this since the bloom only lasts for about two weeks. We managed to get some fantastic shots in the Japanese Tea Garden despite the throngs of tourists. Baker Beach was gorgeous as usual!

Take a look at more photos from Misono and Dan's engagement session slideshow.

A few months ago, we had a great portrait session with Catlin and Gio at Stow Lake, the De Young Museum, and Fort Point. Although they're not engaged, Catlin wanted a nice portrait session with Gio so that they could send photos back to Gio's family in Italy. We didn't have the weather on our side, but we made the best of the day. I decided to use a black and white treatment on the photos as an experiment, and I think it nicely captures the mood of the day in a dramatic way.
