Victor+Kristin:
San Francisco Wedding At The Film Centre

Vitaliy and I have officially completed our 4th wedding season.

We went out with a bang! How does the saying go? Ah yes, you save the best for last. Victor and Kristin’s wedding was just that – the best!

I can’t tell you how many moments I spent fighting back the tears as I tried to keep my eyes clear enough to take pictures. Their wedding was just as genuine and heartfelt as these two are in real life. And they were surrounded by a crowd of people that felt so close I thought we were at a small town wedding where everyone knew everyone.

These two are loved by all and you only need to spend five minutes with them to see why. Read their love story here. And enjoy a few of our favorite pictures of the happy couple.

Victor and Kristin, thank you for giving us the pleasure of photographing your wedding, but we seriously do need to hang out again. Every aspect of the day only made me like you guys that much more. And Kristin, your dad’s speech, it still moves me. Congratulations you two! Vitaliy and I wish you a lifetime filled with love and laughter!

Michael & Kate
The Details

Growing up, my mom used to always have home and garden magazines lying around. She would clip her favorite pictures for inspiration and tape them into a book to reference later. It was her own version of Pinterest before it ever existed.

Michael and Kate’s wedding felt like I had walked into one of the magazine clippings in my mother’s book. It was elegant and romantic with pale colored florals scattered throughout. While the flowers from Twig and Petals were stunning, and I mean stunning, I could not keep my eyes off of the rustic oak chairs from Hartmann Rentals. They were so unique and added the perfect amount of charm to the event.

Before I end, I have to highlight the incredible work of Alicia and her team at Carrie Dove Catering. They coordinated the entire event and did it all with smiles on their faces. Vitaliy and I had such a great time working alongside them for Michael and Kate’s wedding.

The Team

Makeup: Susan Ballard
Hair: Rita Martynko
Dress: Monique Lhuillier
Suit: J.Crew

Michael+Kate: Woodside Wedding

Michael and Kate were high school sweethearts who recently promised their lives to one another in the backyard of her uncle’s estate in Woodside, California.

Everything about the day felt beautiful, regal even. From Kate’s lace dress to Michael’s tailored suit, they were a sight to behold. Pure eye candy!

I’ll share more about their wedding details next week, but for now, I just want to feature this gorgeous couple. You can read their love story here.
