Annamarie + Terry: San Francisco Engagement Photo Session in Golden Gate Park + Baker Beach

Bowerbird Photography March 28, 2014

Annamarie + Terry grew up just an hour away from each other in Ireland, but didn't meet until they moved several thousand miles to San Francisco. They met through a mutual friend and their connection was instant! We had the most glorious spring day in San Francisco last weekend, and took the opportunity to use the blooming cherry trees in Golden Gate Park as a super romantic backdrop for their engagement photo session, followed by a skip to the beach for some sun and surf. Annamarie + Terry are such a lovely couple and we are so happy for them :) Congratulations love birds on your engagement!!

Annie is awesome. We just smile when we hang out together. We were so happy to be able to take her headshots, to celebrate her success as a therapist and life coach. She is also an incredible women's rights activist and we are endlessly inspired by her energy and excitement for life. Congratulations Annie!

Manisha + Paul: Stanford and Quadrus Palo Alto Wedding, Part 1

Bowerbird Photography March 25, 2014

Weddings are a wonderful celebration of two families joining together. Manisha + Paul embraced their Hindu and Jewish traditions, and expressed the unity of these two cultures throughout their wedding. For example, during the ceremony, they stood under the shade of a chuppah that was made from a red, silk sari.

We started the day with them by taking photos of their "first look" at the Stanford Arizona Garden, before heading to Quadrus for their ceremony. Manisha + Paul were all smiles and we could not be more happy for them!!! We are doubly excited for them, because they are dear friends, and Sam spent much of his undergrad college years with Paul as roommates in the dorms and then house-mates off-campus. Part 2 with photos of the wedding reception coming soon :)

Last year, two mourning doves nested on our back steps and raised three chickatee-chicks. And this year they are back :) We're excited to share photos as this little bird family grows.
