We’re lucky enough to have been following David & Teryn’s story for almost a year. David contacted us about a photo shoot while he was still planning his proposal, and a few weeks later, the four of us met up in Santa Cruz for their engagement photos. This July, we finally joined them at their Carmel-by-the-Sea wedding at Folktale Winery and Vineyards, where they tied the knot and said their vows in front of their family & friends.

While on a trip to San Francisco together, Scott brought Gina up north to Calistoga for a perfect surprise proposal at Castello di Amorosa, right in the vineyards where there was a beautiful view of the castle in the background.

Bo & Bingbing’s wedding day started off at Hotel Los Gatos, where they began by getting ready with the wedding party. Before heading out for their Regale Winery & Vineyards wedding ceremony and reception, they had a Chinese tea ceremony at the hotel with their parents. The tea ceremony is a traditional Chinese event, yet the aunt hosting it kept things interesting and made it quite entertaining.

Over at Regale, their wedding venue was beautifully decorated with elegant details. B&B had their very sweet first look there, followed by their wedding ceremony just as the sun was setting over the vineyards. [ read more … ]

We’ve really enjoyed getting to know them as a couple, and my favorite part of their story was how Alex proposed to Traci at the top of Half Dome!! Their good friends who hiked with them took some great photos of the memorable occasion, and we’re glad they did. (And photographing a proposal at Half Dome is now on my goals list!) [ read more … ]
