Humaira & Joel’s Two Day Celebration!

Humaira & Joel had an amazing two day wedding celebration in San Rafael. The festivities followed the Pakistani Muslim traditions of Humaira’s family. Even though many of the customs were new to Joel you could tell he was loving it, especially when it came to everyone showing off their stuff on the dance floor! Their deejay managed to play a balance of Bollywood style pop songs and a few 90’s hiphop hits in there too.

Day 1 took place at the Embassy Suites in San Rafael where they formally had their wedding ceremony which soon led to an epic dance party. Day 2 took place at the Peacock Golf Club in San Rafael and was certainly the main event. I thought Humaira looked beautiful the first day but she looked absolutely stunning draped in scarlet on the second. My favorite moment of their day was their first dance, they looked so happy to be in each others arms. And as a bonus they had a beautiful background set up with strings of lights that allowed me to get photos of them enjoying their first dance that I just love.

Congratulations Joel & Humaira!

So freaking excited for these two! They kept it sweet and simple with a private elopement in San Francisco's golden gate park and they also had an enormous amount of luck when they planned to get married on Wednesday when we had a break in the rain here in the SF Bay Area. It was such a joy to capture this moment ❤️
Just going to put this here... my first attempt at putting myself in front of the camera! Everyone else is doing it so I'm giving it a shot now too. ⁠

This is from Christy & Dory's gorgeous wedding at Straus Home Ranch, in Marshall, CA. It is one of my favorite venues and this was a very special wedding. Even though this is a more serious moment there is tons of laughter that happens between these two. Christy has the most contagious laugh. I'm sure you'll be smiling when you take a peek. Check out the link in bio.⁠

Enjoy fleet week San Francisco. Hope you enjoy it as much as this mother of the bride!⁠

The most memorable moments are the unexpected ones. We were getting lined up for family photos when we could hear the blue angels starting up (very loudly) and flying overhead. Emily & Will got so lucky they didn't fly over while they were exchanging their vows and only started up just minutes after they said "I do."⁠
⁠
Also when taking this photo I was disappointed for a split second that I didn't have a long close up lens on me so I could get a better photo of the planes, but then I realized my wide angle lens was perfect for allowing me to get everyone's reaction to the planes just before they zoomed out of frame.
