Sometimes love happens quickly…two people meet & suddenly fall in love. On the other hand, sometimes love is something that happens over the course of time. It is something that begins as a friendship & begins to blossom over the years until one day you find yourself driving cross country just to be with the one you love. And that’s Tiffany & Joe’s story. They had met through a mutual friend years ago & maintained their friendship via email & the occasional movie date. For them, it was a casual & fun friendship. A few years later, Tiffany decided to move to Boston with a friend. While settling into her new place, she realized that her life would not be perfect unless Joe was a part of it. Almost as quickly as she had unpacked her bags after arriving, she found herself packing right back up, driving cross country & going straight to Joe’s doorstep. And that’s how their story began….
Shortly after they started dating, they went on a trip to Hawaii together. Among the swaying palm trees & sandy beaches, they started to fall in love. Tiffany realized how much she loved his witty sense of humor & Joe realized that Tiffany was the funniest & most gorgeous person he had ever met. On their five year anniversary Joe surprised Tiffany with a romantic getaway to Calistoga Ranch. The flickering candlelight & rose petals was the perfect setting for Joe to pop the question. Tiffany said yes! They are planning a wedding this December that will for sure be just as fabulous & as fun as they are.
Tiffany told me that she & Joe love the vibe on San Francisco so I thought it would be a lot of fun to head over to Fisherman’s Wharf for some photographs. The colors & textures of all the walls were fabulous! We ended the shoot over at Chrissy Field & caught some of the golden light as the sun set. It was such a fun, awesome session!
Tiffany & Joe-I am SO excited to photograph your wedding this year! I know it will be fun & fabulous-just like the two of you! Thanks again for the fun time! xoxo, marielle.
P.S Tiffany & Joe earn ultra-mega bonus points for sending me chocolate covered strawberries in the mail today. See? I told you-they are fabulous!
Tiffany-you are sooooooooo gorgeous!
This is by far my favorite photograph from their session….sooooooo gorgeous…
We made it over to the beach just as the sun was setting behind the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a lovely way to end the perfect day…
Here’s a sneak peek from a fun & fabulous engagement session I had in San Francisco yesterday! Can’t wait to post the rest this week…
It was Angie’s first day as a new student at Harvard. She was attending a party & was introduced to Nick through a mutual friend. And that’s when it all began. Their connection with each other was immediate & it wasn’t before long that Nick began showing Angie around campus & giving her suggestions for fun places to eat near the dorms. Over the next year & a half, they remained good friends before they acknowledged what everyone around them knew-that they were a completely fabulous couple. And that they were absolutely meant to be together.
I first met Nick & Angie back in 2007 at a friend’s wedding in Jamaica. Nick & Sam were high school friends who were both groomsmen for the wedding. I spent some time talking to Angie & was amazed at how put-together, smart, funny & amazing she was. Sam & I agreed that Nick would be out of his mind if he didn’t marry Angie. Luckily, Nick saw the same amazing qualities in Angie & was head over heels in love. Later on, while vacationing on a secluded beach in Nicaragua, Nick asked Angie to be his wife. She said yes! They are tying the knot in just a few months & I am beyond excited to be part of their amazing wedding!
Angie & Nick flew to the Bay Area from New York for some final wedding planning & we met up for their engagement session. They only had one day for photographs & the day we shot was raining cats & dogs. It was raining soooooooo hard for their entire shoot but they totally rocked it out! I am so excited for their wedding & I know how much fun it is going to be! Thanks, Angie & Nick for the fun time! I can’t wait until July! xoxo, marielle.
P.S Angie-whenever you get sick of your clothes, call me. I’ll take them off your hands. Seriously.
Neither of them wanted to hang out with their friends that night. After all, Evelyn had just put in a 12 hr shift at work & Dave was beyond ready to go to sleep. Somehow, as most friends do, they convinced them to go out for a night of fun. As Evelyn & her friends were waiting for everyone to arrive, Dave approached them & introduced himself; chit chatting & small talking until the rest of his friends showed up. The night evolved & the group went dancing & then ended the night at a local taqueria. By the end of the night it was obvious. Dave & Evelyn were totally into each other & although they had not wanted to hang out with their friends at the beginning of the evening, they were soooooo glad that they did! As they parted ways for the night, Dave asked Evelyn for her number. He called her the next day & they’ve been together ever since. And that’s how their story began…
Early into their relationship, Dave received a job offer where that sent him all the way from Texas to California. Although he & Evelyn were far apart from each other, they would spend every night on the phone, getting to know each other better, confiding in each other & ultimately falling head over heels in love. Evelyn ended up moving out to the coast & their relationship has grown stronger & stronger ever since. 7 years after they met, on a relaxing vacation in Maui, Dave popped the question to Evelyn. She said yes & they’ve never been happier.
I loved meeting up with Dave & Evelyn for their engagements. We had a fabulous time tromping through the fields behind the Legion of Honor for their photographs. I instantly knew I would get along with them-they are fun, easy going & just such wonderful people. Dave & I share the same obsession with sugary candy…Evelyn & I share the same love for BCBG dresses & metallic flats. I loved, LOVED this shoot & I can’t wait for their beautiful wedding at the end of this month!
I love how Dave makes Evelyn laugh…
Evelyn, you are beyond gorgeous!
Can you say bling? Seriously nice work on the ring, Dave!
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming tomorrow! Seriously you guys, I am in love with the San Francisco light, the beach & I am especially in LOVE with these clients. So fabulous! Stay tuned for the rest tomorrow!
