Josh + Shelby

Cheers filled the room as Josh and Shelby descended the aisle hand in hand, arms raised in celebration. Their closest friends and family quickly followed wanting to be the first to congratulate the happy couple.

Everyone cried and hugged and kissed and then repeated the process with the person standing next to them. It had the appearance of one big group hug.

As everyone set out to start the party, Josh and Shelby stood against the California sunset. No longer bride and groom, no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. They stood side by side as husband and wife and their faces displayed the joy those titles gave them. Josh looked at his wife admiring what he saw. “She’s so beautiful, “ he said, as he pulled her in for a warm embrace.

Josh and Shelby, your wedding was pure delight. It was beautiful and fun and everything else that the two of you are. Thank you for inviting us along to document it all. We wish you both a lifetime of love and laughter! xoxo V+C

Special thanks goes to Erin and Kaitlyn of Bustle Events, as well as, Yasmin at Floral Theory for their attention to detail, creativity and hard work. You never disappoint!

Glancing Back

Starting out a new year is always very exciting. With the launch of Pictilio, this year is already expected to be an unforgettable one. Before we look too far ahead, we decided to take a glance back and remember.

As photographers, we like to look back and see how we’ve grown and then take note of what we want to work on for the coming year.

As we browsed through the images of the past year, the following collection really stood out to us. They represent the kind of images we love to create. And they are a reminder to us that we are beyond blessed to be able to document the sincere love and emotion that exists within each of the couples we photograph.

Cheers to an adventurous 2012! I’m expecting a wild and exciting ride.

P.S. We added a new feature to the blog. You can now click on the images to scroll through each one in a larger format. Enjoy!









Our Primary Role: Wedding Photographer

Choosing content for your website is a difficult task. I remember when we were just starting out and we had to pick images for our website. We had no idea who we were as photographers so to try and define it through pictures felt impossible. However, after three years of defining our style, and more specifically, our brand, I felt like picking the images for this website was so much easier. And a whole lot more fun!

Our primary role at Pictilio is that of wedding photographer. Weddings will therefore be a featured category here on the blog. If I had to pick one wedding photograph to define Pictilio, it would be the following.
