In the beautiful outdoor settings of Villa Montalvo, Jane and Chetan exchanged promises of forever. Not only did they want their close family and friends there, they wanted them to really be a part of their big day. Their wedding rings were passed around for all their guests to give blessings, and only then did they put it on each other. It was very emotional and touching.

Jane and Chetan are the sweetest and funniest couple. They are so right for each other that sometimes it’s hard to believe how many obstacles they had to overcome to get here. The best things in life never come easy eh! The love and support they have for each other, as well as from their family and friends made this all possible.

Last but not least, we also loved the Bollywood dance that Jane and Chetan had planned to surprise their guests. “Jia ho” is definitely one of our favorites!

Jane and Chetan – Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your special day. Wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

A rabbi walks into a bar and a guy starts talking to her. He smiles, she smiles and they start something very special. This is the true story of how Sarah and Eric met! We are honored be there to document their wedding at the CuriOdyssey Museum in San Mateo. This is our first timing shooting at this unique location!

Sarah has a beaming smile that just brightens the room and Eric has a quirky sense of humor that makes them so cute together.

The biggest treat was definitely the wedding shtick where their friends and family did several amazing performances. Whether it was reciting poems, choreographed dancing, playing games, acting, macgic show, stand up comedy, or doing “All the Single Ladies” better than Justin Timberlake in SNL, the group of talent among their friends was so amazing! This brought so much joy and laughter that made this wedding so fun and special.

Here are some of our favorite pictures to share. Please enjoy!

Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

At the unique and beautiful Ramekins Culinary Institute in Sonoma, Nichole and Paul exchanged promises to love and cherish. Their amazing friends and family from near and far were determined to be here for the celebration. Paul’s family drove half way across the country to stay ahead of Hurricane Sandy and caught their flight in Ohio. Other guests flew in from Hong Kong, England, Canada and all over US. Over and over again, we felt so much of the love and support for Nichole and Paul that made us melt.

Nichole and Paul’s love story started from chemistry.com and blossomed into something extremely special over the next two years. We got to know them better during the engagement session and this time documenting their wedding felt like watching our friends getting married. The ceremony and reception was sweet and filled with personal touches. Nichole is super creative and we are in awe of all the paper works she designed for the wedding. The night turned into some crazy dancing, including Nichole and her dad doing Gangnam style and everyone doing the train, and ended with a sparkly send off for the newly weds. What a night!

P & N – Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your love story. We hope Fiji is awesome and wish you a lifetime of happiness together.

Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

Surrounded by close friends and family at the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel, Meagan and Peter saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. Tears streamed down both of their faces as they embraced each other. They are such a sweet couple. Another highlight of the romantic day was when Peter surprised Meagan with a love song during reception.

Meagan and Peter – Thank you for allowing us to document your wedding day. We loved every minute of it. Hope you are enjoying your honeymoon in Southeast Asia!

Much love,

The big day started at the Fairmont San Jose, where Diana and Randy got ready and did their first look. As Randy turned around to see Diana, they both beamed with a radiant smile that set the joyous tone for the rest of the day. During the ceremony, it was sweet to catch the occasional hand squeezing and smiles they gave each other. Hand in hand, Diana and Randy promised to love, cherish and honor each other.

Diana and Randy, thank you for having us be part of your big day. Your wedding as delightful and sweet, just like you. We are so happy to get to know you and to also find out we are neighbors in the same community! Hehe. Hope we will run into each other more often ;) Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together!

Much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy
