Mia and Elmer tied the knot on July 4th, and it was quite the celebration. Their wedding day started off with a traditional tea ceremony.

 

We then headed to the Fairmont for a quick change and the ‘first look’.
 

I know I always say it, but I love when couples opt to do a ‘first look’.
 

We then headed around the city for some portraits.
 

 

The ceremony and reception were both held at Casa de la Vista on Treasure Island.
 

I love this shot.
 

The speeches were filled with emotion.
 

Yes, the bottom 2 images are the dads dancing…they knew how to PARTY!
 

Thanks Mia and Elmer, you guys had an awesome wedding.

I had the pleasure of capturing the wedding of Yvonne and Steven this past weekend. Lot’s of tradition, emotion, and fun. The day started at the Omni Hotel in SF, where Steven participated in some fun/embarrassing games, followed by a traditional tea ceremony.

 

Yvonne and Steven opted for the ‘first look’ which is awesome in my book, because not only do they get to see each other in private for the first time, but they get to do it again in front of all their friends and family a second time. This also left plenty of time for some great portraits of the two of them.
 

They love their apple products.
 

Thanks again for allowing me to capture your special day guys!

Special thanks to Paul for helping me out.
