Lera & Sasha's Wedding Album

On August 22, Alice Sokoloff Photography photographed the wedding of Lera and Sasha, coverage from which can be found here. And today, their very cool, flush-mount hand-made Italian album arrived! I can't wait to show it to them.

In the meantime, here's the preview:



Did I mention that it arrived with a matching suitcase for safe-keeping?



"Flush-mount" means that it opens completely flat, like in the photo below.








Until next time!

Bridal Session with Dina & Jeff (Stanford Memorial Church)

On Sunday, Dina and Jeff donned their wedding attire that they never did get to wear some 4.5 years ago when they got married. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, they weren't able to have a real wedding or wedding photos for that matter. So with their 5 year anniversary coming up, they wanted to set things right and I was thrilled to help them. :-)

For our session we headed out to Stanford University and the Stanford Memorial Church. I was concerned as we were making our plans whether we would have enough different spots there for the entire session, but that was just because I had forgotten how beautiful the campus is. We had no trouble at all finding picturesque spots for our entire two-hour bridal session.

Without further ado, and without going on and on about how beautiful Dina is, because you are going to see for yourselves in just a second, I present to you some of my favorite photos from the session:

A man can dream, can't he?

Can you see the lipstick all over Jeff's face? I love it when a couple isn't afraid to get a little dirty and experiment for the sake of some great photos!

All cleaned up now. :-)

The unveiling of the bride may seem silly after almost 5 years of marriage...

... Or it may seem very romantic. :-)

And he whisks her off into the sunset. For real. We scheduled our session for the golden hour, as I usually try to do, and by 6:15 we were losing sunlight fast. The temperature was falling rapidly, too. So this is when we decided to call it quits and ran to our respective cars, semi-frozen but very satisfied with how the session went.

Happy upcoming 5 year anniversary, Dina & Jeff!

Until next time!

Conny & Matthew's Wedding (Coyote Point Yacht Club)

On Saturday, it was my pleasure to second shoot for Soleil Portraits at Conny and Matthew's beautiful wedding at the Coyote Point Yacht Club in San Mateo.

The outdoor venue for the ceremony was gorgeous, overlooking the parked yachts and the bay. Conny and Matthew planned the details of their wedding to a t and everything was just beautiful. But the one thing they did not count on was the weather, more specifically the crazy wind. The wind was so strong, in fact, that it kept tearing down the wedding arch until finally it was removed entirely. As you will see in the photos, the wind continued strong throughout the ceremony and during the bridal session. The poor bride was shaking but got through it all with a smile on her face!
