Chrissy + Peter: San Francisco Engagement Photo Session in Glen Canyon Park

Bowerbird Photography August 11, 2014

Dear Chrissy + Peter,

Your laughter is contagious! The session should be entitled Non-Stop Giggles. There is nothing more wonderful to watch than a couple who can make each other laugh. You two get a blue-ribbon for laughter and love.

Your engagement photo session in San Francisco at Glen Canyon Park could not have been more beautiful and you both embraced the rambling golden hills and mountain top vistas with gusto. We hope you enjoy this peek into your romantic day together, celebrating your engagement.

Lauren + Tommy: Lake Tahoe Wedding Photography at Sugar Bowl Resort, Pt. 2

Bowerbird Photography August 6, 2014

Dear Lauren + Tommy,

Soaring through the sky, up and up on a ski lift with Lake Tahoe vanishing to a small puddle of blue, moments after you said "I do," may be the most romantic wedding ceremony exit in history. It was officially time to get the celebration started, first with cocktail hour in the clouds and then back to earth for dinner and dancing at the lodge. You two were so happy the whole evening through, soaking up every minute of newlywed bliss :) We are so happy for you both! Big hugs to you dears!

Congratulations!!! We wish you all manner of happiness as you embark on your new adventure together in Colorado. Good planning in having your wedding in Lake Tahoe - now that we are conditioned to high altitude environments - we're all ready to come visit you in Denver :)

Lauren + Tommy: Lake Tahoe Wedding Photography at Sugar Bowl Resort, Pt. 1

Dear Lauren + Tommy,

Let's talk about your wedding last month in Lake Tahoe. Woooza. How do you spell gorgeous-times-a-thousand in one word?! Every aspect of your wedding was beautiful. First off, you two and the incredible love you have for one another is breathtaking. Second, your wonderful families filled the occasion with such joy, donning 24 hour grins that expressed their unabashed love for you and sang it from the mountain tops of Tahoe. Thirdly, all those awesome friends you have, who gave joke-filled, tear-jerking toasts, and even streaked through your wedding morning yoga session just to make you laugh, manifested the spirit of true friendship! Everything: the stunning details, the singing birds harmonizing during your Quaker ceremony, the wildflowers that arrived in time with the snowmelt -- everything came together to make a perfect wedding. We gotta say, it was a wedding of CHAMPIONS!

We are so happy for you both! We hope you enjoy this first peek into your amazing day :) More photos are on their way soon.

Check back soon to see more photos as they take the ski lift up to the top of the mountain to celebrate!!!

xoxo,

Ariel + Sam

Our friend Cheryl invited us to her lovely home in San Rafael for her annual lavender harvest party this week. Cheryl always plans fabulous events and this one included lavender ice cream, hat decorating, a fortune teller, lavender wand making, and many more fun activities, all raising money to help cancer survivors in need. Enjoy these photos from our sweet smelling summer afternoon in the garden :)
