Our Photos in the Global Fund for Women's Annual Report

Bowerbird Photography February 9, 2015

Last winter we spent a month in the Middle East taking photographs for the Global Fund for Women. It was an incredible trip, where we documented the amazing work of women in the region and heard their inspiring stories first hand. The Global Fund for Women just published their annual report and used many of the photographs we took on the trip in the publication, dispersed among the images below. We're so excited to share some of these captures with you from the final product :) You can check out the full annual report here.

San Francisco Family Photo Session in Glen Canyon Park

Bowerbird Photography January 30, 2015

Cutest. Family. Ever!

Kara is our midwife and we have been spending the last few months getting to know each other, in preparation for our baby girl arriving in April. During our visits (pregnancy checkups are done in the comfort of our own home, on the living room couch), we have gotten to hear wonderful stories about her beautiful family and last week we got to meet them all, for a family photo session at Glen Canyon Park. Kara + her husband Jon have two spirited kids, Ruby and Jackson, and they love between these four is truly dear. We feel so thankful to have such a warm mother figure, with an incredible family, helping us start our own family :)

We hope you enjoy a peek into our playful family photo session!

Kimmy + Paul: San Francisco Wedding Photography at Fort Mason + Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, Pt. 2

Bowerbird Photography January 28, 2015

After their wedding ceremony at the Fort Mason Chapel, Kimmy + Paul took a walk through the green fields and surrounding gardens, where we got to take some romantic just-married couples photos :) We loved being able to capture their giddiness, as they relished in the emotions of so much love and happiness.

When the sun finally set, they were whisked off in a limo to their wedding reception at the Potrero Hill Neighborhood House, for dinner and dancing.

Congratulations Kimmy + Paul! We're thrilled you two are married! This year is going to be amazing!

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 :)
