Yen Yen and Davin were married more than a month ago (yes, I'm wayyy behind) at Stonetree Golf Club in Novato, and their day was quite an extravaganza! We started with a Chinese tea ceremony at Yen Yen's parents' home in Oakland, then did a whirlwind tour of portraits throughout various spots in San Francisco, including riding a cable car, heading to Lyon St. Steps, and stopping off at Cavallo Point for some super windy portraits in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, before heading to Novato for a really lovely ceremony and reception. Perhaps I'm somewhat partial, Yen Yen is one of my cousins, but this wedding was filled with so many beautiful and genuine moments and emotion between family and friends - I always feel so privileged to witness and document these moments. Additionally, Yen Yen is a perfectionist, and she paid so much attention to creating beautiful details. Her aunts and cousins did all of the gorgeous flower arrangements, she made the place cards, table decorations, ceremony ribbon streamers, and so much more. But let's let the photos speak for themselves. Special thanks to Chris Jordan who helped step in as my second shooter while Adm was having back surgery (literally, on the same day!).
Chris grabbed this beautiful photo of Yen Yen below:

We started off Miguel and Christy's engagement session at Lyon St. Steps in the Presdio before heading to Union Square for some urban and colorful photos. The light was amazing throughout the entire shoot, and I especially fell in love with the Louis Vuitton store front that had tons of brightly colored lights (above photo). Lucky for us, we took advantage of this display just in time because I was there about a week ago and they had swapped it out!
It was so wonderful to photograph Christy and Miguel - they are doing a long distance relationship right now since Christy is in school in San Diego, and you can tell they really value the time they get to spend with one another. We can't wait for their wedding next year in San Francisco!
