ROTUNDA I DO'S!

 

oh, how we loved being a part of TESSA + KIRAN’S wedding celebration. probably the most chill couple we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. they had their prep at one of our favorite spots: the proper hotel. then they rented the entire rotunda at sf city hall for an epic ceremony. followed by a sweet reception at the greens restaurant on the water. it was such a special day! their love is the kind of love that gives you butterflies in your stomach and we were so thankful to have had experienced it with them!

FIVE STAR REVIEW:

Incredible Collaborative Experience | Photography + Beauty

The all encompassing services and expertise Jake, Ash, and their teams delivered the day of our wedding was the single best investment we made. They are unflappable, seasoned professionals, and cool as hell.

--- Photography ---

Jake captured the story of our wedding weekend with an intimate authenticity that you can’t put a price on. His affable personality and documentary style of shooting enabled him to capture us and our loved ones as they were while experiencing the celebration. He left us with a great shot of everyone who attended. Looking at our photos transports us to every scene and memory as it unfolded that weekend after months of planning and not some sanitized Glamour Shot version. His work exceeded our expectations and will bring us joy for years to come. In addition to the incredible photos, he and Cory our second shooter where extremely personable and professional. They were thoroughly prepared handling venue surprises, high emotions, and wardrobe malfunctions with a sense of calm and expertise that gave me the comfort and confidence to take it in stride.

--- Beauty ---

Ash is an incredibly talented makeup artist who can deliver on any look you put in front of her. Her genuine desire to build people up and celebrate their natural beauty and style comes through in her execution. There is no day you want to look better than your wedding day and she gets that better than anybody. Ash and Mary delivered not only for me as the bride, but for my whole bridal party including Mom and Grandma.

She was collaborative in her communication, open to the pics I shared, and had great ideas on how to bring the look to life on me. I did a run through with her and she did my rehearsal dinner, which I highly recommend. By the time the wedding morning came we were in sync and I was able to let go and enjoy. I also did a second look which I was on the fence about, but super glad I did!

In addition to fabulous hair and makeup Ash 100% saved my morning with some 1:1 take a deep breath advice that helped me keep perspective and a smile when things got hectic.

We’d highly recommend partnering with Love + Wolves Co. to bring your wedding vision to life. We’re grateful to now be part of the pack!

BLOOMING NUPTIALS AT THE BERKELEY BOTANICAL GARDEN

 

there’s something very special about shooting on an overcast day at the uc berkeley botanical gardens.

it’s the most stunning place for a ceremony, where you are surrounded by the majestic beauty of the redwoods.

and, as always, we love teaming up with our beauty team to create some serious magic.

a special thanks to all the incredible vendors below…

LOVE IN STINSON BEACH

 

there’s something about the “off season” that’s so nice.

why is that? because you get those smaller weddings where you feel lucky to be a part of something so special and intimate. and, of course, jake + ash love tag teaming any couples special day with photo + beauty.

this was such a pretty ceremony at the top of mount tamalpais followed by a reception at a private home on the stunning coast of stinson beach.
