I’ve worn many hats in my day but never had I worn these two at the same time…until this wedding. Being a bridesmaid and the wedding photographer is quite the task but I have to say it was a special one. I had the pleasure of having Gladys Jem to second shoot with me so I can juggle my hats for the day. We had such a fun time and I couldn’t be more happy for Sareh and Rob. Throughout the wedding, I’d look around and everyone present was either dancing, laughing or just having a good time. We were surrounded by friends and family and danced our hearts out all night long! They make a perfect couple…to read more about their story, check out their engagement post. Until next time, I think I’ve retired my bridesmaid hat for a while now but I the photographer hat will not be coming off any time soon. Rob and Sareh, thank you for letting me share the day with you! I wish you both the very very best…can’t wait for what’s in store! Check out their slideshow for even more images from their wedding–

Her eyes say it all don’t they? She’s a proud mama to a daughter who is getting married this weekend. Its moments like these that I just love, pure emotion captured. Mary is the oldest child, first to be married and the only daughter to Ora. This shower was such a celebration and this photo, to me, sums it all up. I have known Mary for years and can’t wait to stand by her side this saturday as she says her vows to Savva. The Iranian culture is very warm and friendly one and we know how to party…and from what I hear, the greeks are just as warm, just as friendly and know how to party just as hard. This shower merged the women of both cultures and what else was there to do but eat, open presents and of course…DANCE!
This invitation suite was such a fun project for me to work on. Not only because I love all things paper but because it was for my good friend Mary’s wedding later this month. Her wedding will be a beautiful blend of Greek and Persian cultures coming together. I know its going to be one huge party because both cultures are all about having a great time and keeping the dance floor packed all night long! The wedding will be formal so Mary wanted to have a custom crest designed for their invitations. Using the inspiration she had collected, I incorporated her wedding colors, green and purple, for the full set. I also decided to use really elegant pearlescent paper to bring an added formal feel to the invites. I love this paper because it adds a very subtle sparkle. The whole suite included the invite, reception information card, rsvp card and custom labels for the envelopes.
Vanessa and Quinn got married at Fort Mason in San Francisco. It was probably one of the most gorgeous days in the city and one of my favorite places to shoot. I loved the old school feel of the chapel mixed in with the modern industrial feel of the buildings surrounding it. The reception was overlooking the water with gorgeous sunlight pouring into the large windows. The wedding, as a whole, had such a sense of warmth to it; you could feel the love in the room amongst all of their family and friends. The beauty that Vanessa carries with her is not only on the outside. She has such a peaceful spirit and I loved spending time with her especially right before she saw Quinn. As Quinn waited for her outside their hotel, she walked towards him in her gorgeous Monique Lhullier lace dress and the anticipation and excitement was rising; for all of us! I was so excited for them…to see them come together was as if they were never meant to be apart. Quinn loves Vanessa so much, you can see it in the way he looks at her. They are perfect for each other. Congratulations you two! To see more from Vanessa and Quinn’s wedding day watch the slideshow
