Quyen and Philip are super awesome! We really enjoyed shooting their engagement photos at the Disney Concert Hall and Griffith Park in Los Angeles. They’re pretty much the most adorable and we loved that they made the trek from Northern California to shoot with us. And hey! Who doesn’t love a bunch of red balloons?!? Even if they do occasionally attack the camera…
Casa Real at Ruby Hill in Pleasanton California is gorgeous. Truth be told, Northern California and Central Calfornia weddings are some of our absolute favorite weddings to photograph! We adore the Bay Area and Downtown San Francisco and love any excuse we can find to get up there to jump from awesome restaurant to awesome restaurant. Plus, Northern California has some absolutely beautiful wineries (Napa Valley sound familiar?) and Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery is certainly one of them!!!
Long story short; it would be a a huge understatement to say that we were a little excited when Neevee and Carlo contacted us to photograph their Casa Real Wedding. :)
And the fact that it was a beautiful Northern California vineyard wedding was just the beginning of the awesomeness! If this is your first time to our blog, let us bring you up to date on a long standing theme: our. couples. are. RAD!!!
Neevee and Carlo are 110% genuine grade A nice people from their heads to their toes and you can totally see it gushing out of them every time they smile (which they do quite often). They (and their bridal party) also did this hilarious thing where one would tap someone else who wasn’t paying attention on the forehead. The tapped person then had to do… well… the only real way to describe it is as a standing worm type of maneuver. We never got the story behind that, but we sure got a kick out of watching them sneak up on each other all day for stealthy forehead taps!
All of that to say, we absolutely loved photographing Neevee and Carlo’s Casa Real Ruby Hill wedding!
You might remember Katie and Blake from their super awesome San Francisco engagement session. If not, meet Katie and Blake, two people who it’s nearly impossible not to smile around. They got married last year at the ever-so-gorgeous Maravilla Gardens in Camarillo California. Their wedding had the perfect mix of class and fun/cute touches and was recently also featured on Style Me Pretty – California. They had such a carefree and sweet day that we are super excited to share!
We had a blast exploring Long Beach with these two crazy-in-love kids. We visited their favorite cupcake shop, a candy store, and roamed around the streets chatting (and taking some photos too). Pat even got the chance to take another couples anniversary photo! That’s right, as we were photographing them another couple came up and asked if one of us could take a photo of them. Pat jumped at the chance and did it like a pro! We are super stoked for their wedding at Maravilla Gardens this summer.
