In between all our late-summer weddings and surprise proposals, we had the pleasure of hanging out with Renate and Keith’s family at the beautiful Montara State Beach. Back in the spring, we had donated a family photo session to the Ocean Shore School here in Pacifica for their fundraising auction, and this sweet family won our photo session.

The spotlight of this post shines on Sarah & Rob, who had their glamorous and stylish wedding when they tied the knot last month at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. With their theme of “Hollywood Glamour,” the couple encouraged their guests to be as fashionable as they wanted, which definitely added to the classy air of the wedding.

Diep and Khoa marked their 9^th anniversary by tying the knot at Garré Winery’s Martinelli Event Center in Livermore, surrounded by their closest family and friends. Diep and Khoa met each other through her sister when they were still teenagers. Khoa would often visit Diep while she was working at the local mall kiosk — how cute is that!? Of course, they fell in love, and as they say, the rest is history… history which their guests happily unearthed and shared amongst family and friends on their wedding day as they mused over this beautiful love story.
