Than & KimDung + Elopement to San Francisco = LOVE!

Hi everyone!

Warning!!!! there are a Gazillion pictures...

I started to tell you a little about this couple way back when. I know you have all been hanging in suspense so here is the full story.



These two are so ridiculously in Love it's hard to hide it. Each time they look at each other both of their faces light up.



Kim had contacted me via email to tell me they would be driving up from Santa Barbara to elope to San Francisco, so most of our meetings were done via modern day technology of something called : the phone & email. he he.. On their drive to SF they stopped in to meet with me to finalize a few details. During our meeting they both mentioned how shy they were in public...






HOWEVER the next day... they had completely transformed into an outgoing up for anything couple & I LOVED IT!!

Their ceremony was short & sweet.




After we hung out and took complete advantage of the gorgeous San Francisco City hall and the wonderful light the day gave us.








Then we headed out to the beach





We not only had fun frolicking in the water...







they turned up the HEAT, even though it was very cold.





They totally ROCKED it!!! and seriously They gave any of America's top models a total run for their money. They were so on it during the beach session I thought I was working with a couple from Ford modeling agency - even though Than & Kim said they are not professional models. Hmmm What do you guys think??


They turned heads too!!



Than & Kim I wish you 100 + years of happiness!!



and can't wait to see you soon.... ;-)



If you are family & friends to this couple I would love to hear your reaction when you found out they had gotten married!!! leave me a comment!! and wishes for the couple!

Than & KimDung + Elopement to San Francisco = Sneak Peek!

Kim contacted me to ask if I would be available to document their very secret wedding. I of course was very intrigued. Were their family rivals (Romeo & Juliet)? Had one of them been promised to another family at birth? Was he being deployed in the military? So many possibilities.




The truth was they were eloping to San Francisco just to be romantic. Awwwww! and will most likely have a big family wedding in December. I think it's the best idea ever, especially with as much fun as the first one was. ;-)





After the ceremony we headed over to the beach. Here is just one image.



This is just the sneak peek - lots more images and a slideshow to come....

Adam & Salina = The Engagement

They say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. NOT so for this couple. Salina was in Vegas for a girls trip from California. Adam was there on a boys trip from New York!! They met and Salina said they hung out till way late having instantly bonded. Adam knew he couldn't be apart from her and moved across the country to be with her. (awwwwwww!) Adam's family is still back East and will be flying in for this event along with his boys! I look forward to meeting everyone. And when they see how nice the weather is here (please weather act right) they might even move here!!





A few weeks ago I gave you guys a little teaser to this engagement session.. well here is the full session!

It was a very cold day in San Francisco despite it being about 100 degrees in San Jose. The drastic weather change caused for us to truly appreciate all the hard work models put in, especially when they are required to shoot in bikinis in beautiful and crazy locations such as Alaska. Here is an attempt of modeling and not looking cold.


The little one wasn't too happy about the weather (nor the camera). How cute is she??? I know she will make an adorable flower girl and give me a great work out, because I'll have to chase her around!



I love this family portrait of all of them.


Salina & Adam are a super fun couple they joked around throughout the whole session. I'm sure their marriage will be full of love, laughter & fun.





I don't think they expected to get in the cold ocean & get wet but with me you never know what's going to happen!






Salina might kill me (after the wedding) for posting this but I thought it was cute. I had asked Adam to approach and kiss Salina in a very sexy- seductive fashion. UM and this is what happened.



I can't wait until the wedding! It's going to be so much fun! Wait till you see Salina's dress!!! I haven't seen it nor pictures but she's described bits and pieces and I'm soo excited!! And seriously as cute as this couple is they could get married in pajamas!! ;-)



I leave you with one last image. A very typical San Francisco foggy day with the Golden Gate bridge playing Peek A Boo!

Vidal & Debi + Love = Baby Bump

As promised last week here! A maternity session is so special it deserves it's own post.
The following images show how beautiful Debi's baby bump is! As well as how much love both parents have for each other & for their little one.





Maternity sessions are fun especially in today's age where the Baby Bump is shown off ( not like in the past where it was hidden under loose clothes (the moo moo) and never ever shown off.







I look forward to meeting your little one!! I wish the 3 of you much happiness in your future!

Adam & Salina + Golden Gate Bridge + Sneak Peek = Engagment Teaser!
