Catherine and Aaron are two of the most kind-hearted people we know. Their love for each other and faith in God was so apparent and abundant, and it was such an honor to witness their first moments as husband and wife.
Cat & Aaron, thank you so much for trusting us to be a part of your big day!

She sat with her hands folded in her lap, her calm exterior hiding the butterflies in her tummy. As her hair was pinned up, one curl at a time, she thought of the past 10 years of happiness, and more importantly, the lifetime of happiness that awaited. Two buildings away, my Chris was helping her Chris take deep breaths. He was nervous, but so excited, to finally marry the love of his life.
They saw each other before the ceremony…Chris was absolutely floored by how beautiful Alex looked. The butterflies went away, but that didn’t change how they felt as she walked down the aisle, towards him and towards their happily ever after.
Alex and Chris, we are so, so blessed to call you our friends. Here’s to a lifetime of the happiest marriage!

This past weekend was one of our favorite weddings ever. Liz and Kevin were married at Cline Cellars in Sonoma, and it was truly a reflection of them as a couple and of the joining of their two families.
Liz & Kevin…no words can express how grateful we are to you for trusting us to capture your big day. We knew it was going to be an awesome wedding, but we had no idea it was going to be this awesome. You two are absolutely stunning, inside and out. Best wishes and cheers many, many more wine bottles on future anniversaries!
We started the day bright and early with a traditional tea ceremony at the Cline Villa…
They don’t make it easy to get your girl here! Kevin, his groomsmen, and various family members on both the bride and groom’s sides had to limbo under three progressively lower steams of ribbon– to show flexibility in a marriage.
We got some pretty awesome reactions!
Next up was a test of groom’s endurance to be strong for his bride (and to show his prowess as a lover, hehe)– the guys had to do 299 push ups.
One-armed push ups!
And some poses for Chris’ camera:
Next, Kevin had to choose Liz’s lipstick print from a few others…
Unfortunately, he chose the wrong one! The punishment, which was to remind him not to cheat on his wife, was choosing various mah-jong tiles out of a bucket of ice. His reaction here is priceless!
His best man, Nick, cheered him on:
And in the end, Kevin prevailed, numb toes and all!

This past weekend, we were in Vegas to celebrate Christine and Christian’s church ceremony and their reception. Last year, they eloped in NYC, but they both really wanted the church blessing over their marriage. Of course, their family and friends wouldn’t let them get away without having an AMAZING party! It was such a great day and I’m so happy that Christine and Christian trusted us with their photos (again, hehe).
C&C, we LOVE you guys! <333
I was so excited about these photos that I powered through them so a blog post could go up asap. Here are our favorites (and there are a lot of them!). To date, this was our biggest wedding in terms of images captured…meaning more photos on the blog!
We started the day off at the Cosmopolitan…the suite was beautiful, and not only did it have amazing light, we had this view!
Christian has great taste in shoes– he picked out Christine’s Badgley Mischka shoes!
Christine’s amazing brooch bouquet made by her friend Kim.
Something blue, sewn into the tulle of Christine’s dress.
Labor of love: at one point, Christine mentioned she wanted a thousand paper cranes. Her best friends delivered and surprised them at the rehearsal dinner.
While Christian went the traditional route and handwrote his letter to Christine…
…Christine went high tech and emailed him! ;)
