Kimmy + Paul: San Francisco Wedding Photography at Fort Mason Chapel, Pt. 1

Bowerbird Photography January 26, 2015

We arrived at Kimmy + Paul's apartment just before the bride put on her wedding dress. Kimmy had mentioned that they had an awesome view from their apartment and we were excited when the bride hopped onto the roof, for some urban bridal shots with sweeping views of downtown San Francisco in the background!

Kimmy + Paul had a touching wedding ceremony at the Fort Mason Chapel, officiated by the groom's father, who filled the celebration with wonderful stories, including how the two love birds met through a match-maker aunt and friend. From the way Kimmy + Paul looked into each other's eyes throughout the ceremony, one can tell that that is what smitten looks like.

Here's a peek into their wedding prep and ceremony. We're thrilled for Kimmy + Paul and can't wait to share more photos from their wedding reception on Potrero Hill very soon :)

San Francisco Headshot Photography with Event Solutions

Bowerbird Photography January 9, 2015

We love to collaborate with great wedding vendors in the Bay Area. In November we photographed Jessica + Simon's wedding in Napa, a beautiful wedding planned by Shelia Dizon of Event Solutions. Last weekend, Shelia and her powerhouse team of wedding planners met with us in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, for a professional headshot photo session of the whole team :)

We celebrated Christmas eve with a relaxed evening of singing carols and eating lasagna, followed by a Christmas day walk in Golden Gate Park. Here are a few photos from the festivities :)

San Francisco Headshot Photography with Liz

Bowerbird Photography December 15, 2014

Last week, during the so-called Storm of the Century in San Francisco, Liz, Principal at Green Peak Partners, came over to our home studio for a headshot photo session. We stayed cozy drinking peppermint tea and munching on persimmons during the shoot. We had a wonderful time taking Liz's portraits, and catching up with her since photographing her gorgeous wedding this summer.
