Things are heating up around here! We've got 2 more engagement shoots and 6 more weddings to post in the next couple weeks. Yikes! How fast can we work...hmmm, time to crack the whip!

Mick and Jody's engagement shoot was so fun to shoot. They were so comfortable in front of the camera and were able to just talk to each other the whole time as if I wasn't even there. We got just hang out and talk a lot too on the Berkeley campus. It felt like I was a student there again, just watching everyone walk on by, except this time I had a big camera and not a backpack on my person.

This is like my billionth time I've shot on campus, so it's getting harder and harder to come up with new shots. How many times can I shoot the Campanile from a different angle? But, we managed to try different things and that always leads to even better shots.

So thanks guys for being troopers and doing all sorts of silly things on campus! Can't wait to shoot your wedding in 11 days!

Campanile take #45,900,882!

Be careful who you sit next to at a wedding reception, because they just might become your photographer! That's how it began with Alex, Josh and us. We were shooting Tony and Stephanie's wedding, when the charming couple next to us told us that they're getting married a year later. We exchanged information and the rest is history.

Alex and Josh had a small and intimate wedding at the Casa Garden in Sactown (not sure if they still call it that, but it rolls off the tongue much better). Their friends and family were so nice to us that we instantly felt like we were a part of the wedding, too. I think I could have followed Alex's dad around all day and just photograph him. He was a well of emotion contained in a bear of a man that day. He held himself together pretty well though.

Alex and Josh couldn't wait to dance throughout the whole day. Their reception was cut a little short because the curfew was pushed up, so when the time came, everyone boogied like crazy. People got down and I mean DOWN on the dance floor. That kind of stuff is contagious!

Thanks so much for letting us be a part of the family that day.

Their first look together. HOT.

Alex got to share a quiet moment with her parents before the whole thing started.

These guys were tons of fun to shoot. As soon I said leap frog their eyes lit up, and we quickly ushered Josh in to be platform from which his groomsmen would vault off of. HOLY COW, this guy has hops. I love Josh's apprehensive body language.

The beautiful bride! I loved that Alex wore her hair down and her bouquet looked like wild flowers. It made everything look so natural and effortlessly pretty.
