San Francisco Engagement | Kevin & Tony

Before even meeting Kevin and Tony, we already knew we really want to be their wedding photographer. For Mark it was the fact that Tony won the Price is Right showcase showdown. For me it was the energy and happiness I felt during the email exchange. This is a happy couple in love! We were so thrilled when they called back to book us the same night we met.
Kevin and Tony’s engagement session went by like a breeze. During the session we kept wondering if they had secret modeling jobs because they were so natural in front of the camera and did not need any directing at all! Maybe they learned how to smile with their eyes from watching Project Runway or America’s Next Top Model? :)
Kevin & Tony – thanks for coming out on a windy day! We had a great time with you even though it was bloody cold. We are so excited about your wedding in Tahoe. It is going to fabulous!
Palace Hotel Wedding | Marina & Shing

It was raining everyday in San Francisco up until Marina and Shing’s big day. But then the sun came out and the sky turned blue, made it the most perfect day to get married. This brought a big smile to Marina’s face all day long. Throughout the day we were surrounded by laughter and joy, and we can’t help but fall in love with this wonderful couple.
Marina and Shing were set up by common friends. Their first two dates did not go as well as one would have hoped, but Marina gave him more chances and Shing finally came through. He showed her that he is a gentleman she can trust, love, and spend the rest of her life with. That is what we saw during their wedding ceremony where they promised eternity of devotion to each other.
It was a fantastic day and a wonderful celebration of love.
Marina & Shing – thank you for having us there to document your love story. We think the world of you both and wish you nothing but love, joy and happiness together!
much love,
Tammy, Mark and little Maddy

San Francisco Engagement | Vero & Glen

Vero & Glen are both college professors from San Diego, so we were super excited when they wanted us to go down to SoCal to shoot their wedding. The first time we met Vero and Glen was at SFO Terminal 1. We met up briefly to talk about their wedding and felt an instant connection.
Fast forward to this past January when they flew up to San Francisco again for their engagement session. They were just natural in front of the camera joking and laughing, we didn’t really even have to tell them what to do.
We had a lot of fun photographing them. Watching them interact through our lens and capturing their sweet moments together. We are so excited for their fabulous wedding. Can’t wait!

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!
Wildwood Acres Wedding | Angela & Ryan

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!
