I’m a big believer that a couple who laughs often and has fun together, stays together. And if that’s the case, then Carmen and Edmond are destined to have a thriving and happy marriage.  Because these two are all about making each other smile and having a good time. And who doesn’t love people like that?

Their big day began with a heartfelt and sweet ceremony in San Mateo that was followed by a lovely reception at the Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club. Their family and friends were so warm and kind.  It was a special day that was a complete joy to be a part of.

Thank you Carmen and Edmond so much for the honor of documenting your wedding.  It was a true pleasure and wishing you both all the best in your bright future together.  xoxo

One thing I adore most about shooting weddings is that no matter how many weddings we are a part of, each and every one of them are entirely unique and full of their own special moments.  Their own beautiful details.  It’s one of the reasons why my love for wedding photography has only grown over the years.  There’s nothing quite like being able to witness and document true love on such a special day in two people’s lives.

I was looking forward to this wedding since the moment I met Carol and Daniel.  They are such a kindhearted and sweet couple who care so deeply for one another.  The morning of their big day started in Pacifica.  It was filled with pretty details (including one of the loveliest dress details I’ve photographed.  I was obsessed with the buttons on the back of her dress), oceanside views and lots and lots of smiles.  Photography was a priority for Carol and Daniel and those kind of couples make me so happy.  They allowed extra time for photos both before and after the ceremony which I love so much.  It was a truly beautiful day celebrating their love as they were surrounded by those who mean the most to them.

Carol and Daniel, it’s been a true honor getting to know you both and document such a special time in your lives.  Thank you both for being so sweet and a complete a pleasure to work with.  I can’t wait to see all that God has in store for your bright future together.  Wishing you a lifetime of love and blessings!  xoxo

A special thank you to my talented friend AnnaLisa Banuelos for second shooting.

Their bright, beaming smiles said it all. Truly these two are best friends and the love they have for one another is so beautiful. It filled their wedding day with such warmth and joy.  And it was such a blessing to document and be a part of.

Wendy and Johnson are one of those couples that everyone instantly loves. They have such kind hearts that care not only for each other but everyone else around them. They are as sweet of a couple as they come and their wedding day was equally as special. From their adorable first look, to their breathtakingly gorgeous ceremony, to their reception that was filled with touching speeches and heartfelt moments, Wendy and Johnson’s wedding day was nothing short of amazing.

Wendy and Johnson, I’m so thankful our paths crossed and for the honor of being a part of one of the most important days of your lives. It’s been such fun getting to know you both this past year.  Wishing you two a lifetime of love!  xoxo
