Kathy + Phong got married last year in October.   Since they booked us last minute, we never got the chance to do an engagement session; so post-nup session it is!!  We love doing anniversary sessions or post-nup sessions as it really gets you the chance to get dressed up again in your wedding dress, whether its your actual dress or your civil ceremony dress, like Kathy’s; and take those pictures you never had the chance to during your wedding day because the schedule was just too hectic.

Post-nup sessions (day after sessions or anniversary sessions; how ever you want to call it)  are sessions we love doing because we’ve already been able to celebrate with our couples and now we get to have fun and take the shots and go to the locations we never got to do, while looking all spiffy and being less stressed.

As I finish editing some weddings, I got the chance to go through this session quickly to post a few sneak peeks.  Enjoy!!

While I took this shot below…The wifey snapped this one of the two laughing.  It happens to be one of my favorite pictures because its moments like this you remember forever.

This shot was awesome.  Just moments before Phoung and Joanne were discussing frozen yogurt and were just saying how “ice cream sounded really great right about now”; talk about power of suggestion because an ice cream truck had turned the corner and the four of us rushed the guy for a quick ice cream break!!

We did it again.  Another blog post on Rock n Roll Bride.  Check out the original post here.

To see Kate and Jeff’s slideshow of the rest of the shoot please click here.

A word from Joanne:   I’ve known Kate and Jeff for years.  Jeff and I have known each other since freshman year high school.  It all started in photo class at Milpitas High.  And for those who know Mr.  Burrill he was one weird photography class teacher, yet it’s always the weird ones who can inspire you the most.   Jeff and I were lab partners in photography for the full four year ride of high school. We always seemed to inspire one another in class, drive each other nuts, and as the classes turned from year to year, we were always the two who ran the darkroom.  We stuck through photography for so long that our teacher built us our own mini darkroom which held our own enlargers.  It was awesome!  I’ve known Kate since high school as well, as a matter of fact; Kate was one of the first few who let me experiment with her hair and with nearly 8 years of being a hairstylist; its awesome to know that she can and has always trusted me no matter what.

Having awesome friends like these two are truly a blessing that should never be taken for granted.  Though we live in different cities we still all share the same passions and some of the same whacky weirdness that has never grown out of style.  I’m so happy to know that as the years have gone by; I can share my life with these two amazing people.

Unfortunately we were not able to make it to Hawaii to witness these two amazing souls get married, but we were so happy to spend one full weekend of madness, food, laughter, and snapshots with them in SF photographing their “day after, 2 months after, day after wedding” session.   Below are our favorites from that weekend.  To see more, check out their slideshow here.  ENJOY!!

Our good friends Jeff and Kate got married in Hawaii this past July and we were sad to say we were out photographing other weddings during their celebration of love.  BUT that didn’t mean we weren’t going to get the chance to photograph them in their beautiful custom attire and take pictures of their awesome custom goods.

As we still edit some of our other summer weddings here’s a few I just had to get out there because this shoot was just AWESOME.
