Santa Rosa Hyatt Wedding | Olivia & Chris
Oct. 31 2011
posted in Wedding
Olivia and Chris live in New Jersey and booked us after exchanging a few emails. When we finally got to meet them in person during the Bay Area trip, we fell in love with them immediately! They are so sweet and down to earth. And Olivia has a wonder smile that can brighten up anyone’s day!
They are also very special because they had spend some time apart during their relationship. Long distance love has a special place in our heart. Going through that is hard but it also makes a couple stronger in their determination to be together.
Our California girl met her New Jersey boy during a company training event in Chicago. They parted with good impressions of each other, and kept in touch via emails, instant messages and online social media after they went back to their respective states. Fate intervened when Olivia was sent to temporarily support the New York office. Chris jumped to the chance to show her around and impress her, and soon they developed something very special. After two years of long distance, Chris popped the question and Olivia happily said yes. Now they both happily reside in New Jersey. Hurray for no more long distance!
Olivia and Chris’s wedding in Santa Rosa was really perfect. The happy couple, gorgeous bridesmaids, hilarious groomsmen, delightful family and friends made this day so enjoyable.
Congratulations again! Thanks for having us there. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

St. Helena Tra Vigne Wedding | Hillary & Luis
Oct. 29 2011
posted in Wedding
Here is a sweet love story we are excited to share. It’s about a San Francisco girl that traveled the world, only to meet her love, a Peruvian, back where she started from.
The story happened in Oakland. Hillary was Luis’s client. Quit frequently, a very stressed out Hillary would run to the print shop where Luis worked at with last minute orders. A very gracious Luis would complete these rush jobs with a smile, thus helping Hillary calm down and leave with a smile. After a few months of this, Luis asked Hillary out so they can get to know each other better. The dinner date lead to many more dates, where they realized they found true love & realized they are soul mates.
Family and friends from California, Wyoming, Virginia and as far as Peru came to celebrate this wonderful couple. Their ceremony was at the St. Rose Catholic Church in Santa Rosa with a bilingual ceremony in English and Spanish. Their beautiful reception was at Tra Vigne in St. Helena. The decor was cute and the food was divine! The reception ended with many wonderful dances, with everyone showing us their passion for dancing and hardcore salsa skills.
La manera de la cual se iluminan sus rostros al mirarse el uno al otro, es simplemente maravillosa. Con cada movimiento y cada toque que se dan, irradian la felicidad que sienten al estar juntos. Gracias por permitirnos ser parte de este día y poder documentar tan bellos momentos. ¡Muchísimas felicidades!
Ahora, relájense y disfruten de toda la alegría que llenará cada una de sus vidas al haberlas unido.
Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

San Francisco Engagement | Marina & Shing
Oct. 13 2011
posted in Engagement
Marina and Shing are getting married at the Palace Hotel early next year, so we decided to meet up while it’s still warm for their San Francisco engagement session. It was great to get to know them better, and even better when we found out we’re all major Seinfeld fans! We had some good laughs as we talked about some of the show’s most memorable episodes :)
We are excited to share some of the pictures here and can’t wait until their wedding!
Berkeley, Brazilian Room Wedding | Lisa & Nelson
Oct. 5 2011
posted in Wedding
The day of Napbug finally arrived! We have been looking forward to this happy day since we did Lisa and Nelson’s engagement session back in May.
Lisa and Nelson are so perfect for each other. Lisa’s smart cousins and cousin-in-law saw this before they did. The first time Lisa and Nelson met at her cousin’s BBQ but they did not talk. The second time they met at her other cousin’s wedding. They had fun that night and left a good impression with each other but they still did not act on it. Over the next few months, with the clever plotting from Lisa’s cousins and cousin-in-law, the two finally realized what everyone else already did and soon become a duo. And in September 2011, Lisa and Nelson promised their lives to each other where it all began: At a wedding.
Lisa and Nelson’s wedding was a labor of love and DIY. Their talented friends and family put together everything – the jumping logo, centerpieces, music, decorations, favor tags and bouquets. Especially Lisa’s bouquet – it included the flowers her dad planted in the yard several years ago before he passed away. It was emotional and touching to see so much love, and even more humbling to be blessed to document this wedding.
Dear Napbug, thank you for being so much fun! We wish you a lifetime of joy and happiness together. From the first time we met, we felt an instant connection. :) Lets definitely meet up after you return from New Zealand. Enjoy your honeymoon!
Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy
