San Francisco Wedding Photojournalism

Often at weddings one only sees the obvious, one usually looks for what is there, as wedding photo journalists we strive constantly to do this, but we also strive to go a step further. Yes, we capture the moments that our clients expect, and those that are the standard, but often, we capture moments in between. The instances that involve family, guests, and even the bride and groom themselves.

With this approach in mind, our clients come home after a wonderful honeymoon and shortly thereafter are presented with the wedding day from a different perspective. It is thrilling to see the reactions from our clients as they watch their slide show for the very first time. Usually there are tears of joy, giggles, and heartfelt laughter when they see their new spouses in anticipation of the ceremony, grandparents getting funky on the dance floor, a glimpse of their beautiful flower girl blowing out the candles on the wedding cake table, or an image of the bride’s father seeing his little girl for the first time in her wedding gown.

These are the moments that are usually observed by us as wedding photo journalists. It’s not about the obvious, it’s about anticipating what is about to happen, and following the moments that lead to that very instance. Another great reason why my husband and I make it a point to become well acquainted with our clients, their families, wedding party, their traditions, cultures, and yes, dynamics. We often direct our clients in our secret approach and this usually allows for an unobtrusive and smooth work flow on what is a hectic and emotional day.

We would like to share images from our recent and past work that shows the wedding photography from another perspective, our very own. We relish in capturing these moments and freezing time just for our clients. These moments are dear, these moments are there and these moments are cherished wholeheartedly forever and ever.
