It's hard to describe how completely smitten Camille + Tai are with their new baby Rose. She is perfection in their eyes. Doesn't her smile just melt your heart? We hope you enjoy this sneak peek from our adorable family photo session in the Berkeley hills.

Sending Fine Art Prints to Peru

Bowerbird Photography July 31, 2013

We put together a package of over 70 fine art prints for the children we met in Peru. We're so excited for them to receive these photos, since most of them have never had a photograph taken of themselves.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Becky + Glenn's Wedding at the San Francisco Film Centre

Bowerbird Photography July 29, 2013

It's not often that you go to a wedding and the guests are so excited to celebrate, that they take over the dance floor before dinner is even served. Becky + Glenn's wedding was the epitome of fun and joy; qualities that are reflected in the personality of this lovely couple.

It is so fitting (and adorable) that Becky + Glenn met during a "game night" with their mutual friends. Their love quickly sparked over shared laughs and Scrabble tiles. They love being together, and are truly best friends.

Wanting to share the whole day together, they did not want to have to wait until the ceremony to see each other. So, after getting dressed in his smart suit, Glenn found a little grove of trees in the Presidio to wait for Becky to arrive, and feel that little tap on his shoulder signaling for him to turn around. When they saw each other for the first time, they erupted in smiles, hugs, and kisses. A beautiful prelude to their gorgeous ceremony at the SF Film Centre, with guests sitting on the green lawn, and their wedding party framing the steps. The bride walked up, escorted by her dad, looking absolutely stunning in her white, lace wedding dress; the groom took her hands and they both held each other, beaming, through the entire ceremony.

At the reception, beautiful details like Scrabble tiles spelling "Just Married" on the wedding cake, and Jenga pieces for guests to sign as an inventive guest book, were inspired by the couple's love story. Becky + Glenn's happiness was infectious, everyone wanted to take a turn dancing with them from the cute toddlers in the room, to their hilarious "game night" friends, to their proud grandparents.

We hope you enjoy this sneak peek into their wonderful wedding day :)

San Francisco Headshot Photography with Cailey

Bowerbird Photography July 26, 2013

We adore Cailey. When she suggested we meet at 8am on a foggy San Francisco morning in Dolores Park to take her headshot, we were game. This woman has made such a powerful difference in our lives, and the lives of countless others around the world, and we were honored to take some portraits for her. We like to think we caught some of her laughing spirit, generous heart, and astounding beauty in these portraits. Cailey is an amazing woman that we couldn't be prouder to know.

xoxo,

Ariel + Sam
