They say that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. NOT so for this couple. Salina was in Vegas for a girls trip from California. Adam was there on a boys trip from New York!! They met and Salina said they hung out till way late having instantly bonded. Adam knew he couldn’t be apart from her and moved across the country to be with her. (awwwwwww!) Adam’s family is still back East and will be flying in for this event along with his boys! I look forward to meeting everyone. And when they see how nice the weather is here (please weather act right) they might even move here!!

A few weeks ago I gave you guys a little teaser to this engagement session.. well here is the full session!

It was a very cold day in San Francisco despite it being about 100 degrees in San Jose. The drastic weather change caused for us to truly appreciate all the hard work models put in, especially when they are required to shoot in bikinis in beautiful and crazy locations such as Alaska. Here is an attempt of modeling and not looking cold.

The little one wasn’t too happy about the weather (nor the camera). How cute is she??? I know she will make an adorable flower girl and give me a great work out, because I’ll have to chase her around!

I love this family portrait of all of them.

Salina & Adam are a super fun couple they joked around throughout the whole session. I’m sure their marriage will be full of love, laughter & fun.

I don’t think they expected to get in the cold ocean & get wet but with me you never know what’s going to happen!

Salina might kill me (after the wedding) for posting this but I thought it was cute. I had asked Adam to approach and kiss Salina in a very sexy- seductive fashion. UM and this is what happened.

I can’t wait until the wedding! It’s going to be so much fun! Wait till you see Salina’s dress!!! I haven’t seen it nor pictures but she’s described bits and pieces and I’m soo excited!! And seriously as cute as this couple is they could get married in pajamas!!

I leave you with one last image. A very typical San Francisco foggy day with the Golden Gate bridge playing Peek A Boo!

Vidal & Debi are so awesome! They were so fun and a joy to be around. I especially love the way Vidal looks at Debi. His eyes light up each and every time! Debi had mentioned that she is a little camera shy, I think she is beautiful. I especially love her baby blues- Franck Sinatra would be jealous!! Don’t you agree?

They are both transplants to the Bay Area and as such don’t have family here. Therefore to share their special day I have posted a slideshow at the end of this post so everyone who was here in spirit only can see the days events!

I am inspired by many things! I would say in my top 10 places to find inspiration is in Art, regardless of the era. Border’s might hate me- I tend to plop myself in front of the Art & Photography section for hours thumbing through all the beautiful books. One iconic image which is burned into my mind is that of Grant Wood’s American Gothic. (I must also add I was fortunate to see this piece in Mardid’s Museo Thysen-Bornemisza while on exhibit borrowed from the Art Institute of Chicago)I would like to thank Vidal & Debi for playing along. Here is my version of this iconic image:

and a bit of a spin:

Another item of inspiration for me is architecture. I love the architecture in San Francisco’s city hall. Here we see Vidal waiting for his bride and her best man doing his duty of holding her purse.

I love the emotion of weddings and especially the interaction between parents and children. Here is a heartfelt hug from mother & son.

A proud mother can’t have enough photos!

How fun is the groom:

After the ceremony we headed over to The Presidio and did portraits at Chrissy Fields with the beautiful Golden Gate Bride in the background. (maternity images to follow in a separate post- stay tuned!)

Congratulations Vidal & Debi!!! I wish you much happiness!!
