Secret Concert on Mt. Tam

Bowerbird Photography October 23, 2013

As wedding photographers, most weekends you'll find us documenting a first kiss at the Mark Hopkins or getting playful bridal party photos, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. But when a free weekend does pop up, we make sure to get out of San Francisco and get some nature time.

Last Sunday we were invited to a secret concert on Mt. Tam with two awesome bands, Tiny Home and TaughtMe. The map to the secret "stage" included photos of treetops and rock piles. After a hike into the park, we arrived at the most beautiful natural amphitheater we'd ever seen, with a huge tree as the stage, and a backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. Truly idyllic.

And with the addition of live music, as the sun dipped into the sea, we could not have asked for a more gorgeous day. Enjoy the photos :)

Saint Ignatius College Preparatory 3rd Annual Alumni Wine Classic

Bowerbird Photography September 17, 2013

This past weekend we donated our photography skills to Ariel's high school, Saint Ignatius College Preparatory (SI), for an alumni wine event to raise money for high school scholarships. It was held at a gorgeous private estate in Kenwood and showcased over twenty SI alumni affiliated wines. The weather was perfect, just right for dipping your feet in the pool and sipping on a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

The fundraiser was a huge success and we were so happy to be part of this fabulous gathering!

The Cuz Club is officially open for endless hours of fun, and we were lucky enough to be there to photograph the grand opening events in San Rafael :) This is truly the greatest club house we have ever seen, designed and built by Grandma + Grandpa Genet (a.k.a. the world's most fabulous grandparents!), for all their beautiful grandchildren. Enjoy a sneak peek into some family summertime bliss!
