Doug's little sis gets married!

So I've been in SF for the past several days to photograph Doug's little sister Annie's wedding festivities.



We were staying in the wonderful Hotel Vitale, right in the Embarcadero overlooking the water.



For the girls' (there were about 12 of them) hair and makeup and general getting-ready, they booked the Circular Suite which featured an endless number of windows...







It made taking cool pictures really really easy.























Gary, the groom has three brothers. And they are all adorable.







Not as adorable as Annie's big brother though...too bad every time I pointed a camera at him he'd make some weird face or throw me a shocker...











Doug can be such a cutie when he wants to be...







They got married in a gorgeous Catholic church.









The groom's mom looked proud as ever.







And Doug and Annie's mom look radiant as well.







And all the groomboys and bridesmaids were pretty too.







Yay wedding!















The bride and groom were last to emerge from the church...







And were greeted by all their guests in trolleys.







The parents looked like fancy diplomats.







I love this wedding party shot with the streets of San Francisco rising up behind them.







Cute!







Super cute with the groom and his brothers.









Finally, it was onto the reception at the Ferry Building.







There was the usual dancing and speechgiving and laughing.

















And crazyface aunts of course.







And then late night they served mini-burgers made from grass-fed beef from the groom and his brothers' cattle empire. Deeeelicious.







Thanks for hooking me up with the job Dougie!







Congrats Annie and Gary!

SF Indian Wedding

First some obligatory details shots...






OK so I was in Half Moon Bay this past weekend, just south of San Francisco, to shoot the wedding of Sonia and Summit, friends of one of my headshot clients from YEARS ago.



The wedding was in Northern California, but everyone was from Los Angeles, and so, of course, everyone was GORGEOUS.




Even all the Aunties had perfect smiles.



Pretty people at a pretty wedding makes my job SO easy!







The groomsmen wanted to look gangster, so we did this shot in their ManCave...



I wanted the bride and bridesmaids to look like Sex and the City: Bollywood Style.

Was quite happy with how this shot came out.



It was a really fun wedding.






Some Uncle even skyped in from India!









The reception was so much fun. A mix of pop and bollywood classics.








I actually stayed and partied with them all until the very end!





Congrats Sonia and Summit!



I came back to NYC for a couple days, but tomorrow I'm off to Houston for PART TWO of their wedding celebration. Nuts!
