Michele + Devin in Livermore, CA

Michele and Devin's story begins with a simple disagreement between Devin's best friend Brian and Michele's little sister Tania.  Because she was one of Brian's students, Tania had to listen to him talk everyday about how his friend, Devin, was the best person ever.  But Tania knew from experience that her sister, Michele, was the best person ever.  Seeing that it was their duty to settle the argument, Brian and Tania set up Michele and Devin on a date.  And since we had the honor to photograph Michele and Devin's wedding, I guess they've now earned the title of "best couple ever."

These two were married in September in Livermore and then partied the night away in San Ramon.  Normally, the best weather in the Bay Area is during September, it's the height of our summer.  But on their day, it poured.  Michele and Devin handled the rain like champs, and by the ceremony's end, the sun was out and shining.  We loved photographing Michele and Devin not only because they were super sweet and easy to be around, but they also included their pup Moose for a number of photos.  Congratulations you two!

Loni + Steph in San Francisco, CA

So, there's this Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial with a talking head explaining about his lost toof, and it's hilarious.  I mean, it just cracks me up every. single. time.  And this brings me to how I know Loni and Steph.  You see, we played on a slow pitch softball team together (go Smoke!), and someone may have lost a front tooth.  Anyhow, from meeting with Loni and Steph to photographing their wedding, every moment has been full of belly laughs.  With so much laughter, we know these two are bound for a stupendous marriage!

Sarah + Ben in Los Angeles, CA

Whenever we meet with our clients, we always ask them what they're most excited about for the wedding.  You know what they say?  Aside from the actual getting married part, everyone is always most excited for the people.  It's a pretty rare thing to have all the people in the world closest to you in the same place at the same time to celebrate you.  And Sarah and Ben have a pretty phenomenal group of people around them.  Their friend Sam wrote and officiated one of the most beautiful ceremonies we've seen, and it was obvious that these two come from very loving and supportive families.  I should know, Sarah's mom, Lyssa, taught me English in tenth grade, and she was one of my favorite teachers.  In that sense, I was also excited for this wedding because I got to see lots of familiar faces (and two of my other favorite teachers) from my high school.  But, enough about me.

Sarah and Ben were married at Occidental College, which provided a gorgeous setting, and we had a great time wandering the campus for portraits, especially since Sarah knew lots of secret spots.  And Ben and his groomsmen kept the dance floor packed all night long which made for a super fun party.  Congrats you two!

Alyssa + Drew in Berkeley, CA

Alyssa and Drew really turned on the waterworks during their ceremony at the Brazil Room in Tilden Regional Park.  Their crying though was a mix of tears with lots of laughter, and it's always so fun for us to see our couples this much in love.  Plus, it's a little fun to tease them about it too.  Sorry, Drew.

We've had quite the adventure with Alyssa and Drew as their engagement session will attest.  This time around we managed to get them lost among the trees in the Botanical Gardens in the Berkeley hills.  We've had so much fun working with these two throughout, and we're sure their marriage will be filled with a ton of fun and hopefully lots of tears of joy.  Congratulations, you two!
