Erika + Colin in Berkeley, CA

Erika and Colin had an incredible wedding at the UC Berkeley Faculty Club in August.  They met while in undergrad at Cal and are fervent Bears fans (they attend Cal football games whenever they can) so this spot could not have been more fitting or perfect for them.  Erika carried through the Cal theme with the colors, and so there were lots of blues and yellows which made the wedding bright and vibrant!  Additionally, Erika's family is Filipino and her parents surprised the newlyweds with some traditional Filipino performances, which was a real treat for us!  With backgrounds in photojournalism, Adm and I love photographing new (and ethnic) events with lots of color and dancing, and there was LOTS of dancing!  Also, I've known Erika since middle school as we went to the same school through high school so it was really fun seeing lots of familiar faces (one of my dear friends Stephanie was a bridesmaid!).

I don't normally do this, but I've got to give a big shout out to Jane Kim, Erika's make-up and hair lady.  Jane made all the girls look beautiful, AND she stayed right by their sides up through the ceremony!  Erika and Colin, thanks so much for inviting us to share your special day, and we wish nothing but all good things to you for the future!

Adm pre-planned and executed this portrait of Erika and Colin, and I have to say, I think it's one of my favorite portraits we've made this year!
