Keeping it Classy//Mirta & Bill, Palace of Fine Arts Engagement

Just a little itty bitty peek at Mirta & Bill's weekendengagement session. We got lucky that there was no rain in San Francisco! We started at the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts (where we almost crashed a wedding just to get a shot), and finished at Crissy Fields. Her ring is so unique and beautiful that I couldn't resist a shot with her dainty pink Chanel bag. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding next year!

a Vintage Wedding//Joe + Stefani//Hayward Japanese Tea Garden

  You may not recognize her here, but this is my favorite big afro'd makeup artist Stefani and her handsome new hubby Joe!

I love Stefani's energy and spunk. She has been such a key component of my business growing this year, and I am SO blessed to have met her.

The wedding was a simple intimate ceremony held at the Hayward Japanese Garden on a Thursday afternoon. Yep. 10/11/12 Now, there is no excuse for forgetting their anniversary date! As usual, I got teary eyed as her daddy presented her to Joe and they stood there before us dedicated their lives to the Lord and each other.

The reception was covered with handmade items and each centerpiece was unique. Did I mention she even made her bouquet? So cute, and I'm going to Pin that for myself! haha

Congratulations Joe + Stefani! Love you guys
