Alyssa ♥ Patrick • A Rad Cabo Destination Wedding With Dia de los Muertos Touches
best cabo wedding photographer.gif

You know you have superb clients when they have welcome bags for the photographers…and mainly when they make sure you leave their wedding with pockets brimming with mini tequila bottles. That’s the two fantastic humans rocking out up there.

DISCLAIMER: There are so. many. photos. When you have the pleasure of joining your clients to photograph a sunset cruise to the Cabo arches, a rehearsal dinner with a view, a tequila-infused wedding day, a hair-of-the-dog pool party, and an adios dinner, let’s just say that I put this one off for a while because I knew it would be a BEAST to share with you. But seeing as we’re having dinner with these two on Friday, AND seeing as we could all use a little Cabo on these December days, I do believe it is time.

So enjoy these two and their absolute blast of a wedding weekend! The Reagans are the most golden of the gold, and after spending four straight days with them, we only want more. I mean, Patrick the Fashionisto gives Jude Law a run for his money, and he gifts custom Nike sneakers like they’re candy…still waiting for my pair, though (did that work, Patrick?). Alyssa the Goddess is the quiet type who only smiles when she really means it, and it makes you feel so happy when she smiles at you. Together, these two are among the most generous and kind people you’ll meet. This one is definitely a case of marrying-the-right-person since a cloudy cold front blew in on the wedding day, leaving us all freezing cold and disheveled by wind, and you’d never know it by the looks on these faces.

To the Reagans, thank you for the amazing weekend. We were SO HAPPY to be there and are excited for dinner! XOXO

Barrett ♥ Kelyn • A Sonoma Valley Destination Wedding 🍷

The Harmses are our second family. When Shaun and I got married, Barrett's parents offered us their condo in Tiburon, an amazing little coastal city  with a killer view of San Francisco Bay. That would have been enough, but Jeane, in her classic thoughtful fashion, stocked the fridge with all sorts of romantic snacks, left a full plate of delicious cookies, and wrote us the sweetest letter. Those are the kinds of people the Harmses are: thoughtful and kind with ever-welcoming dispositions. We had the joy of shooting the NYC elopement of Laura and Ryan (the older of the two Harms boys), so once Barrett proposed to Kelyn, we just hoped, hoped, hoped they would inquire. And all of our dreams came true a few months later at their impeccable wine country destination wedding, hosted by a small, family-owned winery and designed by the incomparable Krisi and Nathan of GRŌ Designs (of whom we're a tad bit jealous because they actually ARE family). 

Kelyn and Barrett were a dream come true, but we knew that would be the case. They've been together for quite a while, so it was pure joy to witness them succumb to the inevitable. The wedding was beautiful. These two are beautiful. It was a good day in California wine country. Enjoy!

Alex ♥ Maureen

Oh how we love family affairs. We're just so grateful that Angie and Jack found us to shoot their wedding a couple years ago. This dear, dear bride is Jack's sister, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to shoot for her and her lovely husband this time around. That's not just because we were already familiar with this absolute GEM of a family, but also because their wedding was in New York...and if you've seen our personal Instagram accounts, you know we love our trips to New York.

This beaming couple with their open-mouth laughter, this beautiful venue overlooking the Statue of Liberty, the overwhelming kindness radiating from everybody present, this trip definitely did not disappoint...

Thank you to the vendors who contributed to this one!
