Sarita & Aki: Terra Gallery Wedding

by Lilia on June 2, 2010

Sarita and Aki are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They have traveled the world together, and I’m so excited about their new life together. They were married at the ultra modern and loft-like Terra Gallery here in San Francisco. It’s a cliche to say that a couple was surrounded by love, but Sarita and Aki were truly surrounded by love and adoration, and you could see it in their guests faces. We also had the pleasure of working with Mary Phan from Verry Merry Events who did an incredible job organizing the days events. Congrats to Sarita and Aki!

We started out with Sarita getting ready at the Hotel Intercontinental.
Sarita and Aki both wrote cards to each other which they both read while they were getting ready. I love the look on her face!

San Francisco Dream Wedding

by Lilia on May 14, 2010

Ray and I are so excited! Today we have the honor of photographing Vanessa and Mike’s wedding at the chic Hotel Vitale here in San Francisco. Vanessa and Mike are the winners of the 2010 San Francisco Dream Wedding Giveaway! Vanessa and Mike met in the Air Force and have had to endure many challenges from living thousands of miles apart to Vanessa’s diagnosis of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. We are so happy to take part in the giveaway and make Vanessa and Mike’s wedding day dream come true.

Here’s a quick peek at Vanessa and Mike at their rehearsal dinner last night at 1 Fort Mason.

Jen & Jason: Palo Alto Wedding

by Lilia on April 30, 2010

I’d like to think that I clicked with Jen and Jason right away. Sometimes you feel like you’ve known some people forever and that’s definitely the case with Jen and Jason. I always laugh so much with these two and if you know me, laughing is one of my favorite activities in the world. :) Jen and Jason were married in Palo Alto with their reception at the gorgeous Palo Alto Women’s Club. Of course we had to stop by Stanford for portraits. Ray and I had so much fun photographing this wedding, especially the reception since Jen and Jason’s family and friends know how to get down and have fun. Congrats to Jen and Jason!

Erika & Will: Engagement Session

by Lilia on April 12, 2010

There’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing a couple who loves to have fun together. And Erika and Will have the most amazing times together. They were up for anything during their engagement session. We started off in Golden Gate Park where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Cherry blossoms are so inherently romantic and magical. Then we headed off to the Marin Headlands and Rodeo Beach. Kudos to Erika and Will for braving the cold and hanging in there like troopers during our time at the beach. We can’t wait for their wedding in June!

I was lucky enough to meet Ruby and Ernie a few months ago when they were visiting SF from Hong Kong. They’re both incredibly smart and so sweet, and it was fun sharing SF and the Marin Headlands with them. I love meeting people from other countries and learning more about their lives in their countries.

Lauren and Tim were married at the gorgeous Silverado Resort in Napa. A sudden rain storm the night before almost spelled doom for this beautiful outdoor wedding, but luckily the sun made an appearance and the outdoor wedding went on as planned. Lauren and Tim’s family know how to party, their reception was epic! Congrats to Lauren and Tim, two of our amazing clients. :)
