Lindsey and Nathan's Family Shoot

View fullsize

From the moment Lindsey, from BellaLu Photography, and I started chatting about making this short film I could tell it was a match made in heaven. I already knew that Lindsey and Nathan were AMAZING photographers, but watching them with their two little girls and hearing them talk about what it means to be a family... Well, I just couldn't help but fall in love with who they are. I could go on and on about these four, but why not hear it from them? Check out the video below and hear Lindsey and Nathan tell all about their little family and what it's like to parent two little girls.

Daniel and Shannon's Nestldown Wedding | Highlights Film

Details, details, details! I have never seen more lovely little details than I did at Shannon and Daniel's stunning Nestldown wedding. Around every corner, in every nook and cranny, I found something lovingly crafted, hand made and gorgeously arranged. Bloomster's Florals were out of this world gorgeous!!  Nestldown is an absolutely stunning venue, it is one of our all-time-favorite places to shoot! On top of everything we love about this gorgeous venue's natural beauty, Shannon and Daniel's wedding had countless personal touches. It was just perfect:  full of romance, tears of joy, and warm and loving people. Check out the images below to see a few of the day's details and precious moments captured on film. 

This day was made extra special by the amazing team of vendors that Shannon and Daniel brought together. We can't thank all of them enough for creating so many beautiful touches and helping the day run so smoothly. For a full list of these fantastic vendors see below.

Brandon & Kristie's Wedding | San Francisco Academy of Sciences

Kristie and Brandon live in LA, but they wanted to have their wedding in San Francisco. In their search for a venue they found the California Academy of Sciences and it fit who they were and the mood they wanted on their wedding day perfectly.  As you might expect from this playful and unique location, their wedding was one filled with joy and laughter. (I mean fits of giggles and belly aching laughter.) These two, their friends, and family were a joy to be with on this special occasion and we could not be happier to have been a part of it. 

Kristie managed long-distance (with the indispensable help of Ashley, from LVL) to bring together a fantastic team. Lily and Benson, from Bllew Photography were a breeze to work along side throughout this day, and the Florals Irene and Anna so lovingly made were just beautiful. See all of the wonderful vendors who helped make this day posable below.

Madhuri & Fred's Wedding

This warm winter afternoon was beautifully saturated with color, love, and ceremony. Madhuri and Fred's wedding was a fusion of jewish and Hindi traditions and the overwhelming love of these two families coming together was a treasure to take part in. Their wedding was held at Palmdale Estates and despite a bit of mid-day rain it could not have been more lovely. 

We had the pleasure of working along side Jay and Kate, from Photography by Jay C Winter, and we could not have had more fun.
