We recently returned from Tulum, Mexico, where we were able to shoot the destination wedding of Steve and Jennifer from Manhattan. You can see their wedding announcement in the New York Times.

We are still working on their photos, but meanwhile, here is a sneak preview from the film camera we brought along on the trip. (Yes, real film!) Digital pictures are still to come.

Perfectly gorgeous! We couldn’t have asked for better weather. The details of the whole event were simple and perfect. Jennifer and Steve thought of so many little things and we, along with their guests, had a blast. It was a dream wedding.

AJ and Jackielyn wanted to have an Up-themed engagement shoot, which was adorable. We recognized them getting out of the car with a ton of balloons. It turned out it was their second attempt at balloons – they had lost the first!! AJ was determined to hang on this time!

We had so much fun with this shoot at the Lafayette Reservoir. Both are runners, so we tried to get some fun running shots. They recently completed the Chicago Marathon this fall!

Brandon and Becca are stinkin’ adorable, and their shoot was a blast. They had a really distinct style, and some fun ideas going in. It was a lot of fun to incorporate their ideas and try new things. Check out the results!

Becca wanted some cool San Francisco houses in the background, so we started at Alamo Square Park. Recognize it? The opening credits from a pretty famous TV show from the 90′s were shot there.

Now, Becca was a bit shy about kissing and snuggling Brandon in front of a camera, but Brandon was all for it! So then for the next few pictures they were just supposed to walk on a path and totally ignore the camera. The next few pictures were taken from behind a tree and a trash can!

Totally natural and unprompted! Told you they were awesome!

We met Scott and Carolyn at the Lafayette Reservoir, which is a fantastic place for photos, especially around sunset.
