We’ve been busy here at Elle Photography shooting summer weddings . . . Here’s a sneak preview from a gorgeous one we did at Ralston Hall in Belmont, CA. I love this shot — totally spontaneous. The ceremony just happened, we did a few family shots & the bride and groom had their first post-married moment alone. More to come soon!
Bay Area Wedding Photographer
Pretty pictures. From a trip to Cape Cod last fall. Things Elle loves.
Hi-larious.
The “missed connections” section on Craigslist is one of my fav’s. This clever artist illustrates the ads & sells prints on Etsy. Just made me laugh & I had to share. This has got to be the perfect gift for someone you know.
Golden Gate Park – eSESSION
Golden Gate Park is one of my favorite places to shoot — you just never know what you’re going to find there on any given day. During this e-session with another darling couple (Elle has the best clients!), we ran into balloons (my favorite!), wild geese, and a friendly rowboat operator who let us pose for a few minutes. Here are some favorites:
Dancing Queen . . .
Elle loves a fun first dance. Choreographed, clever, they get everyone in the mood to par-tay. Check out these adorable videos from a wedding where the Bride & Groom danced to “I’ve Got You Babe” & the Bride did a little number with her bridesmaids to “Single Ladies.” (A tad overplayed, yes, but still *so* much fun. Things are popular for a reason.) It’s videos #2 & 3.
Oh I’m in love
with this camera bag by Emera bags!! It’s not ugly!! Nor is it boxy!! Their bags reminds me of Chanel & Kate Spade (two of my fav’s). Me thinks Elle has to have this. How I loathe my current, giant, man-ish boxy Nikon bag . . .
Day at the bridal salon . . .
One of Elle’s good friend’s is getting married, so we spent the day at Glamour Closet’s San Francisco location — they had a lovely selection of very discounted designer gowns in sample sizes & it was a low-pressure, fun place to be girly for the day. No shots of my friend (she hasn’t decided what she’s wearing yet & wants the whole look to be a surprise), this is just a sense of the ambiance & day of girly-ness:
