Ready to be delivered, here’s Melanie and Ben’s wedding album. You may be familiar with this couple as we already featured their engagement, wedding, slideshow and we did it session.  Melanie and Ben’s preparation started at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco…

Here we are at St. Ignatius church waiting for the ceremony to begin, lots of emotions as family members come to visit for quick congratulations.

it’s time for the ceremony…

a few formals… a must have in the wedding album to make the family happy. I would have loved to shoot formals outdoors but it was quite a windy day, San Francisco style!

And here’s the Pacific Athletic Club staff members preparing for the reception and party can begin when Melanie and Ben are announced!

A few collage pages, normally I would like to display less photos, but I know how much the bride and groom want to see as many friends as possible in their album, after all they made their day so special!

And now, more emotional moments on the dance floor…

I love the next few pages… Melanie and Ben had a tight schedule on their wedding day, so we decided to shoot a ‘we did it’ session a couple of weeks after the wedding in Holbrook Park, plus Melanie wanted a real Fall theme for their photos and waiting those two extra weeks made the timing just perfect at the Park. I wish I could have always as much time to play around with the camera with all my brides and grooms!

Promoting my Destination Weddings I will be participating at LuganoSposi2010, a Bridal Show in Lugano, Switzerland on January 14th-17th. For the occasion, I created a new sample album of my recent Puerto Vallarta destination wedding. It is my first trade show ever as a vendor, I am quite excited and looking forward to the experience! See you in Europe!

I am just a few weeks away from my next  trip to Italy!! For the occasion I just finished the layout of Giulia and Fabio’s wedding album, you may remember my previous posts on their wedding last May.

I spoke with Nicolle yesterday as she and Dennis were just leaving for her honeymoon.. a long trip to Asia with many exciting stops.. I asked her why she didn’t bring me along Glad I cought her before she left for the airport so she could confirm the layout of her wedding album! And while she’s having fun with hubby relaxing in Singapore or Malasya… this goes into printing and binding… it’ll be all ready when she comes back! Happy honeymoon guys!!

I truly enjoyed working at Alison and Paul’s wedding album. They are such a sweet couple. So caring and dedicated to one another. Their wedding day was so joyous, intimate and warm. When I work at wedding albums it always brings back nice memories. I think that’s why I want to personally design it, and don’t like to use templates but prefer to create for my clients an unique design that will distinguish each one of them. And how could it be otherwise… each wedding is so different, as are the personalities of the couples, the guests, the details and the atmosphere..

Vendors at this wedding: The amazing team of Fork and Spoon Productions, I love working with them!!! They catered the food, flowers, table and decorations, and the cake! Dj Matteo rocked the house with his great music selection at One Fort Mason in San Francisco.

One more album design accomplished! I have so much fun working at albums… bringing back all the great moments and emotions of the wedding day… Arantxa and Joseph were married last October…

Here is just a few pages from Amelia and Cory’s wedding album I created for my portfolio. You may be familiar with this couple from their engagement and wedding pictures.

Nicole and Jack, thank you for letting me create your wedding album and trusting me with picture choices!

Liza and Andres gave me ‘card blank’ to work on their wedding album. They trust my vision and let me pick all the photos for their Art Book. I loved being able to have such creative freedom! Here’s the result while their book’s been binded as we speak.. only 2 1/2 months after their wedding!
