We have a thing for numbers. So we were especially excited about our 9/10/11 couple. Plus Cynthia and Steve are just so much fun. We laughed so much during their engagement session and Steve had forewarned us his boys are even funnier. We knew their wedding day would be a blast. The day was filled was nonstop laughing indeed.

It was a beautiful day to celebrate their love. Cynthia and Steve are so different yet they complement each other so well like a perfectly proportioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Cynthia is very organized. Steve is spontaneous. Cynthia can eat peanut butter with every meal. Steve is adventurous with food. Cynthia rides her bike to work. Steve loves to drive.. a lot. Yet they do share many similarities – great passion for shoes and dance, love for their family and friends, and of course, unconditional love for each other. They are two lovebirds perfect for each other.

A lot of thought and planning went into this wedding. Steve’s last name starts with the letter H, so Hermes fit perfectly well with their orange lovebird wedding theme. From the menu design to the beautiful centerpieces, everyone was continuously wowed by their personal touches. Did we mention Cindy is super organized? :)

Cindy & Steve – thank you for being absolutely amazing. We wish you much love, joy and happiness. Have a great time in Europe!

Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

It was a great surprise when we got an email from Jonathan from Studio Nine saying that the wedding we worked together got featured in the popular wedding blog Style Me Pretty. It is nice to see several of our images used in the feature.

Here is the original entry in Style Me Pretty.

Welcome to our newly redesigned and rebranded website!! We are soooo thrilled to share our new website with you!

First of all, many thanks to the talented FloSites team!! We LOVE the creative geniuses that helped us come up with the delightful logo and beautiful site. We love how it represents our personalities and how we feel about our work.

Thanks to all the photographer friends that gave us pointers and support along the way. Your input is so valuable & we really appreciate it.

Last but not least, thanks to our wonderful clients that entrust us and allow us to be part of their lives. We hope you enjoy the site and love to hear back from you!

Fei and I know each other since our college days at Northwestern. He was also the best man at our wedding. Last year Tammy & I regrettably could not be there for his wedding to Heidi. We found out they were coming to the Bay Area this summer, so we did a post wedding “engagement” shoot for them since they never did one. We had a great time with them and it was great to finally meet Heidi!

Hope we will get a chance to visit you in Chicago & Hope you’ll come visit the Bay Area again!

Fate brought Angel and Ryan together in China, where Angela was hosting a cooking show and Ryan was running his English school. They continued their love story in Michigan and soon they will be moving back to the Bay Area again. They are smart, funny and such a joy to work with. Did we mention Ryan speaks fluent Chinese? Probably even better than Mark’s :)

The wedding was at Wildwood Acres Resort, a secluded, beautiful venue in East Bay. Family and friends gathered to witness their union – there were laughs and joyful tears as they watched these two amazing individuals get choked up exchanging their vows.

Congratulations again. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Can’t wait til you are back in the Bay Area for some fun get together!
