B E S T Rehearsal dinners are honestly the best. 🤍 We try to tell our couples all the time… they add SO much to your wedding story, and we absolutely love covering them. There is something different about the energy the night before. Everyone is relaxed, emotional, excited, nostalgic… and fully present. The hugs between family members. The speeches that make everyone cry laughing. The grandparents sitting quietly watching it all unfold. The friends raising glasses to your future. So many beautiful moments happen during rehearsal dinners and so many of them would otherwise go unseen or forgotten in the whirlwind of the wedding weekend. That is why we’ve started offering rehearsal dinner coverage more and more in our collections… because these moments matter too. They help tell the full story of your people, your relationships, and the love surrounding you before you even walk down the aisle. Some of our favorite images ever...have come from rehearsal dinners.

S M I L E Sometimes couples tell us...“We don’t want to smile in our portraits.” And honestly? I always find myself a little perplexed. Why?! This is not a fashion shoot for Vogue. You are not trying to look like an untouchable high fashion model standing in the desert looking mysterious. This is your wedding day. One of the happiest days of your life. Your children and grandchildren will look at these photos one day. So yes… we will absolutely capture the editorial, serious, artsy moments too. We LOVE those. But somewhere along the way, we are also going to sneak in those real smiles and genuine laughs. Which brings me to my secret weapon… Tony, my husband. The man can crack almost anyone. I’m talking even the most determined “no smiling” couples in the world that eventually break. And those photos? They always end up becoming some of the most loved and downloaded images in the gallery. ( I am spying on you as to what you download on the back end) Because years from now, people won’t just want to see what your wedding looked like… they’ll want to remember what joy looked like on your faces.

E M B R A C E Sometimes...we just run with it. We have to embrace the shadows. Especially on a wedding day, we can't always control the light and how it can be harsh or soft on you. Where...we just have to play in it. Hire a true Light Architect. #WeddingStorytellers #destinationweddingphotographers #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #napavalleyweddingphotographer

S U I T I always jam to this song from Justin Timberlake. How we as women love to see our loves in a suit. How important is it for us to make sure we capture these moments. How often is it really...our guys in a suit and tie? Especially for his wedding? The Groom wants portraits too; Especially on his wedding day! Well.. during these moments... you might hear me humming this tune. Uh, sometimes both Tony and I are humming this tune for the Groom ..he may get a concert! Depends on the Groom.

R E A L The ceremony is where it all becomes real. The walk down the aisle. The deep breath before...I do. The hands find each other. The vows that quiet the whole room. The tears no one planned on crying. It’s not just part of the wedding day...it’s the heart of it. These are the moments you’ll want to remember exactly as they feel. The look, the emotion, the people who love you witnessing it all. That’s why ceremony coverage matters so much. It happens once, and then it becomes a memory forever. Congratulations to the new family member coming...we love you both!!

C L O S E R We believe it's good to come in closer. We try not to be so obvious about it. Most of our couples don't even notice...but getting a bit closer helps tell your story... highlight details...show off some bling or emotions you are having at that moment. Next time you watch a movie or a show ...see if you can catch that. It's there ..we bet you!

F I R S T D A N C E It’s not about being a perfect dancer. It’s not about everyone watching. It’s not about getting every step right. It’s about the first moment you get to slow down together after a day that moves so fast. The ceremony is over. The nerves start to fade. The room gets quiet, even with everyone around. For a few minutes, it’s just the two of you. You laugh. You sway. You hold each other close. You take in the fact that you just got married. Years from now, you may not remember every detail of the timeline… but you’ll remember how that moment felt. That’s why it matters. 💃🏽🕺🏽 Venue & Planner | @chaletviewlodge Florals | @helianthusfloral #FirstDance #WeddingDay #WeddingPhotography #BrideAndGroom #WeddingMoments LoveStory WeddingInspiration

M O M E N T S Your wedding day is made of moments you’ll never get back. The big ones, the quiet ones, and the ones you missed in real time. That’s why photography matters.
