Yotam+Angela Engaged

If someone were to ask me for advice on choosing a spouse, one of my top recommendations would be to marry your best friend.

That is exactly what Yotam and Angela are doing. After being in the same circle of friends for 4 – 5 years, they eventually broke away and started spending some one on one time together. To put it best, they began developing a friendship with neither of them realizing they were falling for the other. But friends and family were not fooled. Let’s just say bets were placed on when they’d finally see it for themselves and start dating.

Three years ago, while attending the North Beach Festival in SF, Yotam and Angela spontaneously kissed. It must have been unforgettable because they’ve been together ever since.

Yotam and Angela, we are so excited for your wedding this October. We have no doubt it’s going to be a blast because being with the two of you is always a ton of fun. Congratulations on your engagement! We hope your marriage is full of spontaneous kisses. Love to you both!

Stewart + Andrea
The Wedding

Stewart and Andrea are the kind of people you want to call friends from the very first time you meet them.

A few weeks before their wedding, we sat across from each other over dinner. They retold the story of how they met, not missing a single detail. Then they shared memories about their families from younger years and stories about their friends from recent years. On the drive home, I remember feeling so thankful. To have clients who trust you enough to share their lives, memories and families with you is truly a blessing. It made me even more excited for their upcoming wedding and the opportunity to meet all of the special people in their lives.

Stewart and Andrea were married at the beautiful Valley Presbyterian Church, followed by an insanely fun reception at the Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club. All of their friends and family spent the entire night on the dance floor. Even their grandparents danced the night away doing moves I’ve never seen a grandparent do before. It was an unforgettable celebration!

Stewart and Andrea, thank you for choosing us to be your wedding photographers. It was really a treat for us! You guys are beautiful inside and out and we are so excited for your future together as husband and wife. Congratulations to you both! We wish you a marriage filled with love and laughter.

Nautical Wedding Buoy Garland

Being self-employed can get lonely at times which is why collaborations are always welcomed by us.

If you or someone you know is having a nautical themed wedding, then we have a treat for you. Our friends over at Going Lovely designed this cute nautical buoy garland which looked perfect strung on a cake table. The best part is they mapped out the entire process so that you can do it yourself at home. We had the pleasure of photographing it all for them. You can see more photos and all the details over at Green Wedding Shoes.

Christie and PJ from Going Lovely are a complete joy to work alongside. They are both creative and fun, but they are also kindhearted. Just the type of people you want to work with for your wedding day. If you are in need of a designer/coordinator for your big day, be sure to check out their website and get to know them better.
