Every wedding we've shot that involved some kind of stage with curtains has been a homerun. I guess there's a reason why stages are used for performances, because they lend themselves to a certain drama. The red curtains, lights, and focus on the subject works really well in pictures. As wedding photographers, we're "backstage" with our clients the whole day, so when Rosann was waiting for her entrance, being in a real backstage with her was really exciting. There's so much more to write about this wedding, but I'll let the images do the talking now.
Christine and Eugene are a very stylish couple, if you remember them from our engagement session with them in the past. But, stylish and hip, doesn't mean you have to give up on your roots. Christine wore the chinese traditional dress (Chipao) and Eugene wore the traditional Filipino shirt (Barong) as a respectful nod to their spouse's heritage during their reception. Plus, they threw an amazing party that had everyone on the dance floor. I love it when you get the little kids all the way up to the more experienced folk to get their booty's shaking.

Kristi Klemens is a wedding photographer down in Southern California with her own business as KLK Photography. Paul is a wedding video journalist with his own business as Blue Sky Videos. If you're a potential bride, you should definitely check them out as they are not only super talented, but sweet people all around. Kristi has a knack for making brides look hot!
Our engagement shoot up in San Francisco was super cold, but that didn't stop Kristi from braving the weather to wear a cute dress. Loved the props they also brought to the shoot. We can't wait to shoot their wedding in Miami!
Hanging out with Jayne and Eddie as their photographer, I got to know them on so many different levels. For one, they love to be goofballs and just flat out make fun of each other. They are super shy in front of the camera and feel that they are so awkward in front of the lens, but that's actually a really good thing, because I love to play off that energy. Here are some highlights of their day.
The flower girl was fascinated with Ingrid's rocket blower during the speeches.

You can't help but just fall in love with Rosa and Percy when you get to spend time with them. Rosa is a complete sweetheart who's positive energy just brings everyone's spirits up in the room. Percy is the guy that every guy wants as his older brother. Calm, confident and full of integrity. Shooting a wedding with them was so much fun and I'd do it all over again for the experience with them.
Hai and Chris had a very intimate civil ceremony with just Chris's parents being present. I was excited to go back to San Francisco City Hall to shoot a friend's wedding. Hai is an old friend from High School and it was very cool seeing her again. It's funny, but I don't think either of us changed all that much.
