It was great to see Tania and Daniel again after meeting them last year while photographing Aline and Todd’s wedding.

We had a wonderful time bombing around San Francisco, taking in the amazing versatility the city has to offer on one of those rare summer days where the sun was out in all its glory. It was a pleasure to capture this couple’s love for one another, so apparent in their interaction with each other on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.

We met in Mission Dolores park, along with a thousand other people; Tania and Daniel each carrying a big red balloon! Not wanting to seek attention (ha ha) they joked and shared some intimate moments on a bench with probably one of the best views in the city.

Next stop was a tranquil corner of the Golden Gate Park – not a soul to be seen, just a crazy couple with their balloons!

By the time we reached The Palace of Fine Arts, we were a balloon down, (it escaped to balloon heaven) so we ended the session with romantic shoots amongst a backdrop of grandiose columns and domes and those magnificant green doors.

This lovely couple will be getting married in September at Kohl Mansion, so be sure to check back for a posting on what is going to be an amazing wedding.

Earlier this year, Fresia, one of our past brides, decided to unwrap her wedding dress from its protective layers of tissue and have a Trash the Dress session!

We travelled to Lake Tahoe, meeting our couple at beautiful Sand Harbor where we spent a couple of hours clambering over huge granite rocks, paddling in gently lapping water, and generally having fun.
Trashed dress? No – it’s safe and clean back in its protective layers… But it did get worn again!

Here are a few of our favorite images from the day…

Last September we photographed Anna and Paul’s beautiful wedding at Half Moon Bay Golf Links.

We’re delighted to see Today’s Bride magazine are now featuring their gorgeous day on the About Weddings website in the Real Weddings section

It’s a little disappointing the photographs are cropped into a square format – especially the panorama shots – as you lose the drama, but please check out our blog post from last year to see them in their full glory!

I also noticed their florist was featured in April’s edition of Sunset magazine!
