Steve & Jennifer – Tulum, Mexico – Sneak Preview

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 & Jackielyn: An Up-Themed Photo Shoot

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!

They even made their own adventure book!

We also took a few less Up-themed pictures – but still very fun!

Lafayette Reservoir Shoot

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!

And then of course we had to do some ring glamour shots!

Making a heart

Brandon & Becca Engagement Photos

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!

Totally natural still! But then Brandon hammed it up for the camera a bit!

Then we really started having a lot of fun! Check out that smirk on Becca’s face!

Too cute!

Then we found a cool alley to take some shots.

I love this next series of pictures!

Next up was a cool cafe!

Brandon and Becca, thanks for including us in this fun time in your life! We loved taking your photos!

Carolyn & Scott’s Engagement Photos

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

See what I mean?

Scott brought his guitar, and sweetly serenaded Carolyn.

Then we took a walk out to one of the docks.

Too cute!

They had a little fun with the guitar again…

That raised eyebrow is hysterical!

Uh-oh!

Then they showed off some of their dance moves they’d been practicing for the wedding!

Thanks for the fun, guys!
