I love my job. Have I mentioned this before? I love my job. Sara and Chris threw quite the party Saturday night at the Foreign Cinema in San Francisco, and I didn't want to go home! The night was just the perfect mix of class, style, funkiness, beauty, and most importantly LOVE. Even though Sara and Chris are new friends to me, it seemed quite clear that they put a lot of love and energy into the details of such a wonderful night. They walked down the isle to hauntingly beautiful music by their friends who played the yukalaylee and the Tablas. Guests enjoyed an array of delectable vegan food... the drinks were flowing, the Moms, the Dads, and even the Grandmas and Grandpas were shaking it. I feel so lucky to have been a part of such a fun night... to have mingled with their hipster friends and wonderful family- and perhaps the best part... to have documented their special night by capturing these precious moments... enjoy just a few of my favorites!
Sara and Chris Wedding, San Francisco 6.26.10
Shizuka and David, San Francisco 6.9.10
I kept forgetting that yesterday was a weekday when I met Shizuka and David at San Francisco City Hall for their wedding because there was so much activity downtown! The days of the week just sort of seem to blend together. And, even though it is a bit of a cliche', big cities like San Francisco truly are such a cultural melting pot. Shizuka is from Japan, and David from Spain. Many of their friends who accompanied them were also from cities around the globe. As we they waited in the halls to sign their marriage certificate, a few of their friends held laptops with live connections to each of their families in Japan and Spain. During the ceremony, the computers "stood" as guests in the circle with the rest of us. It was pretty special for the two of them to have their families with them in some way!
Anyone who has ever studied photography knows that part of the art and skill of creating a body of work is often doing it with as few images as possible. The theory being that less strong images dilute the better ones. Well, I'm completely breaking the rules here because I LOVE this set! I'm really learning the story telling process of a wedding, and I feel like each of these images plays such an important role in their day! OKAY, maybe I just think some of them are pretty!
Enjoy!
