Sophie and John's wedding is coming up in April and we realized we had to get the engagement images up as soon as possible! What a sweet couple! We had a blast running around their SF neighborhood, capturing these two at their best-- with each other.
We started at their favorite coffee shop, which now, because of them, is one of our favorite coffee shops ... Velo Rouge.

It is always so funny to us when couples realize we are just going to start photographing them where ever we are... yes in public, yes, with people around, and YES we will ask you to kiss! Ha ha.

Sophie and John we love you two and cannot wait until your wedding. We already miss hanging out with you!
xoxo

Here are some of the highlights from this one of a kind walking bridal show.

Brides were first given these cute little passport books and asked to get stamps from each of the stores with an Amazae tabletop design. Such a cute idea.

Niki and I cannot say enough about this wedding. We absolutely loved every element about this super stylish shin-dig! Chris and Carol infused the entire day with their very own sense of style and panache.
From Carol's amazing non traditional dress to Chris's - not one but two - kicking suits. Check out the uber chic poka dot silk suit that Carol bought for Chris as a groom's wedding day present! As Carol said "so that he can do a "Platinum Groom Wardrobe Change" at Bix during the reception!" You gotta love a woman who does that!
And we do love her!
We started with getting ready and first sight at one of our favorite hotels - St. Regis in San Francisco.

I just love this moment. So touching....

On to Bix! The alley at Bix is a photographer's dream! We LOVE that Chris and Carol just broke out dancing in the alley before the guest arrived. We just let them dance and clicked away.

Here are some of the things Chris and Carol's friends had to say about the images they saw!
(Thanks to Carol for sending us all this love!! )

Jesus christ that slide show should come with a warning! I had to stop a third of the way through the first time because I started crying and I needed to be in a meeting! So gorgeous!

oh my god!! these photos are AMAZING!! the best wedding photos i have ever seen. they did a great job. And I got to see all the little details that I didn't notice at the event. Like Chris' tie and your shoes! The photos look like the belong in Modern Bride/Fabulous Wedding magazine.

This is wonderful, gorgeous, and so the two-of-you! I would need to look at the series many more times to pick my favorites-- they're that fabulous. Can't wait to see the rest...

I am crying - the photos are lovely...you are stunning, Chris is so happy...amazing, wonderful, fantastic.
Thanks for sharing that. I've watched it twice so far, and I'm supposed to be packing. I've just made Christian promise that we are going to have another wedding ceremony in which I get these professional photographers!

This is so beautiful! It was a magical day...and the photos capture the love and magic beautifully.

There are no words. Simply stunning.

Wow! The photos are wonderful. You must both be delighted. We can't wait to see the rest of them.

Stunning. Truly lovely...

These are beautiful! Too many favorites to mention, though the shoes on the bed are one of 'em.

Just beautiful !!!!!!!

LOVE!!! They are so beautiful!!!!! You are so beautiful!!!!

Gorgeous.

Wow! They are amazing.

SO beautiful. SO, so beautiful.

And here is the slide show that evoked such nice praise. Check it out HERE.

Chris and Carol Thank you so much for being who you are and letting us capture it!
We want to give a special thank you to Andrea Coen from Andrea Events Production for making this whole events as spectacular as it was!

Wow this wedding was a blast. From the killer dress to the candy bar, Jamie and Steve really made their wedding a big fat party. We had a blast running around the city streets with this super fun couple. We love when couples really infuse the day with their own style! Jamie's hair and makeup had a retro feel that fit her to a tee. The dress... to die for. The location... one of our favs!
The couple... too much fun to even explain! Check out a few images from this killer day!
