It is SUCH an honor to receive DIY Weddings Magazine! When we heard the news that Melanie and Chase’s Los Altos History Museum wedding was going to be printed, we did a little (ok, not so little) dance of joy. Seeing it in person is so rewarding!

To see more of Melanie and Chase’s beautiful wedding at this amazing location, check out their wedding photographs. Thanks to Mark at the Los Altos History Museum for an incredible experience and for making their day so special!

We’re always up for fun and quirky ideas, so when Avanti & Sunil told us they wanted to have fun with balloons, we just couldn’t resist! As we walked around our favorite Mountain View park, we decided on the spur of the moment to rent some bicycles… it’d been AGES since I’d ridden one, and it’s true, you don’t forget! We had many many laughs going up and down the small hills, and amazing light, which was perfect for the medium format Mamyia I brought along!

We are so honored that Jessica & Keith’s wedding was featured in Destination I Do! Magazine. This texan couple chose us for their San Francisco celebration – and what a journey it was! We started at the Legion of Honor and continued to China Beach where Jessica and Keith exchanged vows with the Golden Gate Bridge as their backdrop. I hope you’ll enjoy these photographs – we definitely had so much fun taking them! Congratulations Jessica & Keith!
