Joanne + Jonathan | Levi's Building | Fog City Diner | San Francisco | Engagement Session

Jonathan and Joanne's wedding is coming up in 2.5 weeks!  We've seen them at three or more weddings in just the last year, so it sometimes feels like groundhog day whenever they show up to weddings.  So we're excited that they're finally getting a wedding of their own.  Well, here's to even more groundhog days in the future.  See you again soon!

 The adorable couple!  They were a little camera shy at first but they did a great job.

We wandered through a display of Levi's jeans fan mail and decided to write one ourselves.  The letter reads "Thanks so much for letting us use your little red booth to shoot our engagement photo shoot.  XOXO!! Jonathan & Joanne".  I hope that one makes it on the display.  Make us famous Levi's!

Almost every engagement session, there is at least one person who goes through lots of physical exertion.  This time it was Ingrid.  She had to vigorously shake the tree branches with her small frame.  She apologized to the tree later.

But at least we got a really cool shot out of it!

Cindy & David | Lawrence Hall of Science | New Church | Alumni House UC Berkeley | Wedding

We were there from the very beginning.  Before "D & C" was even conceptualized.  During their incubation process, we saw the signs that something serious was coming along.  As their good friends, we had the joy of watching their relationship blossom into something special.  And to be able to be such an integral part of D & C day was a great honor. 

Can I just say that their wedding was awesome!  So many friends and family members pooled their resources to make this wedding come together.  From the trifecta officiating (3 pastors - his good friend Andrew, bro-in-law Dennis, and father Alan), to the flowers, to the cupcakes, all the way down to the nitty gritty decorations.  That's true love folks, all wrapped up in one fat party!

Cindy's 30 lbs. dress.   It took about five girls to help put it on.  Like Iron Man getting into his suit.  Love this shot!

C & D spelling out their initials with their fingers.  David actually does this pretty frequently, as you can tell by the precision of his form.

Cindy's father's speech was out of this world.  He led us in song and dance to the melody of "Do Re Mi" called "Happy Happy C and D".  With hand motions.  Twice!  The Sound of Music will never be the same again.

I was very surprised when I looked up and saw this.  I still don't know how he climbed up 15 feet with his strapless camera.   -Ingrid

I guess it was worth risking my life for.
