2010 Highlights: A Year in Review!

I can't believe we're already ringing in a New Year.  2010 has been a complete whirlwind, and at the end of the year, when things are starting to slow down and we're getting ready to breathe and relax for a few months, I always like to reflect on what we've done and think about what direction we're headed in.  In pulling out images for the highlight slideshow, I can see how our style is evolving and what areas to focus on for the future.  This is part of what makes our job so fun - constantly critiquing one another and pushing each other to do better.  We absolutely love what we do and are so incredibly lucky to work with such wonderful people who trust their memories with us.  We are so grateful for each and every couple that lets us into their lives on such an important day, and we just hope that the care we take in creating their images is a true reflection of how important they are to us.

The slideshow includes images from every wedding and engagement session we photographed this past year.  Music is "Perfect In My Mind" by Gold Motel.

Judith + Tom in Burlingame, CA

JT_wed_202 Working with Judith and Tom has definitely been one of our highlights this year!  We had a super fun engagement session with them in the beginning of summer so we knew they were going to have an incredible wedding with lots of smiles and laughs.  They were married the first weekend of October at Kohl Mansion in Burlingame, and despite a last minute change of moving the ceremony indoors because of high winds, everything flowed very smoothly.  For starters, Judith and Tom claimed the mansion as their home for the night by decorating it with personal photos and making guests feel cozy and comfortable.  Another one of my favorite features was that Judith had not one, but THREE dresses she wore throughout the night.  Judith and Tom also wowed everyone with the most incredibly choreographed first dance that I've ever seen!  In addition to showing off his amazing dance moves, Tom also surprise serenaded Judith during the reception with a few of his groomsmen as backup.  All in all, it was the perfect celebration for a couple so perfectly suited for one another. 024_23_JT_wed_158 JT_wed_veil JT-dipred JT-dip 058_57_JT_wed_196 ' 094_JT_wed_328 JT-dip2 108_JT_wed_391 115_JT_wed_248 118_JT_wed_268 070_69_JT_wed_237 066_65_JT_wed_221 145_JT_wed_535 151_JT_wed_524 180_JT_wed_716 JT-dip-toast 197_JT_wed_783 JT-dip-cake 207_JT_wed_820 Below is a slideshow with many more highlights set to their first dance song, "We Are in Love," by Harry Connick Jr.  Enjoy!
