San Francisco Wedding Photographers
Cheerful, bright, and vibrant — these are words often used to describe our photos, but as wedding photographers, we know there’s so much more to a photo than how it looks. Throughout a wedding day, moments and feelings are what we’re really after!
There are so many big moments to document throughout a wedding day. The first look, the walk down the aisle… the kiss! But do you know which photos our couples end up loving the most?
It’s the photos that capture the bits in between.
The moment your father’s eyes well up as he watches you say “I do.” The expression on your faces as you look down the aisle at each other and think: “This is real!” And, perhaps, your reactions to the inevitable bridal party toast that’s just a tad embarrassing.
We’re Annie and David, and for us, weddings are all about moments and feelings. We work best with couples who deeply love and care for each other, are down-to-earth and like to have fun, and who wish to look back on the laughter and happy tears of their wedding day for years and years to come.

Emily & Michael’s Hyatt Lake Tahoe Wedding
It feels like just yesterday that we were photographing Emily and Michael’s beautiful surprise proposal in Napa. Fast forward a year and a half, and here we were again, this time celebrating their wedding at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort. Having met their families at the proposal and spent the previous day with everyone at their church ceremony and welcome reception, we were surrounded by so many familiar faces. It’s not often that we arrive at a wedding feeling like we’re reuniting with old friends, but that’s exactly how this weekend felt. We were so excited to be back with everyone for the big celebration, and now, even more excited to share some of the highlights of their day!
The morning was filled with so many sweet and emotional moments. Emily shared a series of first looks with her loved ones, while Michael had his own special moment with his sisters. But nothing quite compared to Emily and Michael’s first touch with each other. There were happy tears from start to finish, and seeing just how much this moment meant to them was incredibly touching.
Their outdoor ceremony took place on a beautiful lawn nestled in the woods, with gorgeous white florals and greenery framing the couple as they exchanged their vows. Afterward, we headed down to the lake with their entire bridal party for some fun photos on the beach. The bright blue water and mountain views were absolutely stunning, and not something we typically see back at home! Later in the evening, we snuck away with just Emily and Michael to a quieter stretch of beach for some romantic sunset portraits. Between the warm golden light, the breeze catching Emily’s veil, and the two of them looking so incredibly happy together, these were easily some of our favorite moments – and photos – of the day.
The celebration continued with an outdoor reception beneath the trees, where the speeches were a wonderful mix of heartfelt, beautiful, and hilarious. We loved watching Emily and Michael laugh their hearts out alongside their favorite people. And once the party moved indoors, the dance floor was absolutely packed with everyone having the best time.
What an incredible weekend this was, from the beautiful lakeside setting to all the laughter, tears, and unforgettable moments in between. Michael and Emily are both so sweet and full of the sort of expressiveness that our cameras just love to capture. We’ve loved being able to document these special chapters of Michael and Emily’s story, and seeing the two of them surrounded by so much love and happiness made it all the more meaningful.
Nergis & Cem’s Montalvo Arts Center Wedding
Elegant, royal, classy: these are the adjectives that come to mind when we think of Nergis & Cem’s Montalvo Arts Center wedding. Nergis had a very specific vision for her wedding and had dreamed of this day for a very long time, and importantly, she knew how to execute and make her vision come to life. Every detail was so meticulously planned, from the exquisite invitation suite to the veil spotters to the lush florals, and it all came together in the most perfect way on this beautiful August day.
Montalvo is where Cem & Nergis had one of their first dates, and from then on, Nergis secretly hoped she’d one day get married at this gem of fa Mediterranean-inspired venue. From the moment she arrived at Montalvo that day through the end of the night, Nergis imparted the aura of a European princess. Wearing a stunning Galia Lahav dress, a 24-foot-long veil, and an ornate tiara, there was no mistaking the star of that day. Her walk down the spiral staircase at Villa Montalvo and later down the long aisle to the Love Temple were quite the sights to behold, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the love-struck Cem adored her with his eyes glued to her the entire day. We imagine that he must have felt like nothing less than the luckiest man on earth that day — and every day since! In every photo where our dashing groom is looking at his bride, he has a particular smile on his face, one reserved just for her. Combined with his sweet, down-to-earth demeanor, we can see why the two are such a perfect match!
After putting together the highlights below to recount Cem & Nergis’s wedding day, we’re almost afraid that our photos will look like a staged photo shoot with a pair of models rather than a real wedding between a real bride & groom with their family and friends in attendance. But the moments that can’t be planned — the tears and laughter from not just Cem & Nergis but also their parents, the eloquently-prepared speeches from their family and friends, and the energy and excitement through the night — are the ones we find most precious and most endearing, and these were in no short supply throughout the day. We’re incredibly honored and grateful to have followed Cem & Nergis’s journey from their engagement to this amazing wedding day, and our cameras were very, very happy as well. Without further ado, here are some of the photos we’re absolutely swooning over!
Kathy & Arno’s Fall Wedding at Viansa Sonoma
Kathy and Arno’s fall vineyard wedding at Viansa Sonoma was everything we hoped it would be for them: joyfully heartfelt, elegantly designed, and thoughtfully personal. If you know Kathy, you know she lives and breathes weddings; as the “K” of Experiences by K, she’s the mastermind behind some of the most seamless and beautiful celebrations we’ve photographed over the years. We’ve worked with Kathy, Arno, and the team on so many proposals and weddings that showing up for their big day felt like photographing family.
True to form, Kathy didn’t slow down even as her own wedding approached — she was still planning other couples’ weddings up until just weeks before this one! (We had just worked a wedding with her only about a month prior.) Watching her finally step into the role of bride, while still gently steering her own timeline, décor, and even the DJ station, was such a fun full-circle moment.
The wedding day itself was gorgeous from beginning to end. K&A glowed under the early autumn sunlight at Viansa, and we especially loved their first look and how emotional those moments were. I think Arno had been waiting eagerly for this day for quite some time 🙂 Kathy’s eye for design showed up everywhere: lush, sculptural florals, elegant wooden chairs, meaningful little touches tucked into the tablescapes, and an extraordinary reception setup that made the space feel both romantic and elevated. Speaking of the reception, this crowd did not hold back. Dancing was wild and joyful, fueled by a packed dance floor and by Kathy, who couldn’t resist hopping behind the DJ table and taking over for a good portion of the night. Those moments were such a perfect reflection of her too — fun, full of life, and always ready to make sure everyone is having a good time.
To top it all off, Arno had spent the days leading up to the wedding making chili oil as wedding favors for their guests. (We very much enjoyed ours!) It was the sweetest, most thoughtful touch… and very on-brand both for Arno, the talented cook, and for the couple, who puts so much care into everything they do.
The night ended beneath a tunnel of glowing paper lanterns, with Kathy and Arno surrounded by cheers, color, and light as they ran through the send-off. It was a magical finish to a day already overflowing with heart.
Kathy and Arno, thank you for letting us be part of this next chapter. We’re always so happy to see you at weddings & events, but to be a part of your own wedding has been the greatest joy and honor. We’re overjoyed that you found each other!
