90th Birthday Party for Uncle Jimmy!

“Uncle Jimmy” celebrated his 90th birthday recently with a party organized by his niece Jean Marks. The party was at MacArthur Park in Palo Alto last weekend and was so much fun! Jean had a couple of Laurel & Hardy entertainers there as well as close friends and family, many who’d flown in for the special occasion. Uncle Jimmy looked FANTASTIC by the way!

They actually did 90 candles on that cake, and lit them all!

Gorgeous Wine Country Wedding

Geoff & I were very excited to work with Cay Lemon of Zest Productions on the gorgeous wedding of a gorgeous couple Jenna & Ryan (who may also be referred to as “the hotness”). Every detail was carefully planned & beautifully executed. It was absolutely stunning. The wedding celebration took place at the Villagio Inn & Spa in Napa Valley. The couple chose a color palette of black & white, with a bit of fushia & red thrown in. Karen Axel Tapestry Flowers created stunning floral centerpieces & accents. Jenna & Ryan were absolutely beaming all day long, and their guests had an amazing time. It was one of those weddings that people will never forget!

I LOVE how green the grass is here:

After dinner in the tent, guests headed to the Barrel Room for dancing. They had this super fun candy bar set up for their guests:

Tram and Randall are Married!

Tram & Randall were married recently & Kelvin had the pleasure of photographing their celebration in Santa Clara. Tram & Randall’s focus for the wedding was simple-celebrating with their friends and family. Below is my favorite shot of the day, I love how you can see Tram’s reflection in the building behind them. Congratulations Tram & Randall!

Her makeup is absolutely flawless! Great hair & makeup are critical to having great wedding images. Tram looks so beautiful! Randall’s not so bad either…

I love how the twinkle lights give a soft glow behind them:

Haidee & Wilson’s engagement session at Ghiradelli Square

lara — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:28:16 +0000

We’ve been squeezing in a few more engagement sessions before the weather turns on us, and luckily we had a gorgeous overcast day for Haidee & Wilson’s engagement session recently. While a blue sky is beautiful, the clouds provide some filter for the lighting, which we love. Haidee & Wilson are planning a vintage theme for their wedding next summer, so they thought it would be fun to bring that element to their engagement session. Their vintage looks definitely added some spice to the session! They choose Ghiradelli Square for their session, which is a fun place to photograph as their is a lot of variety & not too many tourists there during the weekdays. They were super easy to work with, and I can’t wait till their wedding next June! This is my very favorite image from the session (although the sky was better from the other side, as you can see):

I love the moment just before a kiss:

Haidee sure knows how to turn on the charm for the camera!

Susan & Gary are married in Half Moon Bay

Susan & Gary found each other at the pumpkin festival last year in Half Moon Bay, so of course their wedding celebration took place in the same magical place! The two are such a joy to be around, their love for each other is absolutely infectious! I’m serious, these two people are giddy with each other! It’s really wonderful to see two people so excited about spending their lives together. These two lucky devils are both retired, so they split their time between Seattle & the Bay Area, and lots of travel. Their ceremony was held at a small church in Half Moon Bay & then the reception took place at Cetrella. After the ceremony we headed to a local pumpkin patch for their portraits.

Don’t these look delicious?

After our coverage was finished, Susan & Gary invited us to stay for dinner as their guests. It was wonderful to sit down and get a chance to know their friends and family, these two are very loved! Geoff sat next to Alex (woman in the hat below) and she was talking on and off about her two yorkies, and how they play together and so forth, and it’s just so wonderful to have 2 dogs instead of one. Well, Alex pretty much lit the spark needed, as Geoff spent much of Sunday talking about getting another puppy for Emma to play with. And by Monday, we found ourselves in the car, driving 3 hours east to Emma’s breeder to pick out a “sister” for Emma. Sophie is 18 weeks old, and at 2 1/2 pounds, she actually makes Emma look big, if you can believe that! Thanks Alex!

Annie & Patrick tie the knot…

lara — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:11:02 +0000

The morning started out in the bridal suite at the Sofitel and the bride was as calm and relaxed as could be. You don’t see that very often! The groom on the other hand…I think he handled the stress for the two of them! Annie & Patrick had an amazing day, and we were honored to document it for them. The ceremony was held at Stanford Memorial Church, which is so incredibly gorgeous & lovely to photograph. After the ceremony & some alone time with the couple, we headed back to the Sofitel for the cocktail hour & reception. It was a very elegant & relaxed celebration. Their friends and family gave wonderful toasts, and it’s always great to get the perspective on a couple from their loved ones. Here’s a sneak peek:

I LOVE the light patterns on the ceiling, very cool!

Susan & Gary’s Portrait Session

lara — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 02:20:46 +0000

Geoff & I had a great time with Susan & Gary recently for their Day After Session (ok, a few days after, actually). We went to some of their favorite spots in Half Moon Bay, where they met last year at the Pumpkin Festival. This couple is so passionate & romantic with each other, it’s amazing to witness two people so in love and so right for each other. After the sun went down we went to the Ritz Carlton & enjoyed a drink together & a chance to get to know them even more. As they are both retired, they will be traveling quite a bit & just enjoying one another’s company. I’ll post some of our favorites from their wedding soon, in the meantime, here are some highlights from our portrait session:

I asked Gary if they were both fashionable prior to meeting, or if one of them had influenced the other-he informed me that they were both very fashion aware, just more proof of what a perfect match they are for each other.

We started off the session at this amazing store in Half Moon Bay called “Half to Have It” where you literally cannot walk into the store without finding some item you absolutely “have to have.”
