Jake proposed to Joyce just a short walk from where they were married in Half Moon Bay. For guests arriving to the wedding, the first thing they saw was a beautiful painting of these two at sunset, made by Joyce's talented little sister. By just looking at the painting of this couple embracing in front of a beautiful sunset, you were able to feel the solidness of their love. The same goes for Joyce, who was so nervous in the minutes leading up to the ceremony, but the moment she saw Jake at the other end of the aisle, all her nerves seemed to flutter away. For the rest of the night, these two were stuck together, side by side, arms around one another.
It was such a privilege to be a part of their day. These two come from very close knit families, and so there were many beautiful moments between them and their family members. Because we had done such a fun engagement session with them a few months ago, we'd had a chance to get to know them so that they were already super comfortable with us from the moment we arrived, which in turn allowed us to capture all of the natural emotion of their day. Congratulations you two! We hope you're having the best honeymoon ever and that that carries through for the rest of your lives!

The painting by Joyce's little sister is on the left. Amazingly, it was overcast all day until the sun started setting so that we could make the picture on the right. 
Yen Yen just so happens to be my second cousin, but since we have a very large extended family and grew up on opposite ends of California, I'm just now getting to know her and, of course, Davin. These two are so sweet and easy going that we had a lot of fun going through various parts of downtown San Francisco before ending up at Baker beach. On the sandy hill just above the beach there are a ton of old Cypress trees that have been so windblown that half of their roots are above ground. Yen Yen and Davin were such good sports as I had them climb through the roots and up and down the sandy hill. We're thrilled to photograph their wedding next spring!
