We’ve been incredibly fortunate lately in being able to photograph our beautiful friends in love. I could write a novel about these two, but will try to keep it concise. The wonderful Elizabeth started out as my (Marina) college roommate, and has since remained one of my dearest friends. I have so much admiration for Elizabeth as she has always been brave enough to follow her heart…which led her to Panama a few years ago, where she met and fell in love with Kristhian. And Kristhian has such an unbelievable smile that I felt as if we were BFFs, even though I only “knew” him through photos up until their wedding day! Kristhian + Elizabeth had a large wedding down in Panama (which we were unfortunately unable to attend, big sad face), then waved goodbye to Central America for her native San Francisco, where they officially married at the breathtaking San Francisco City Hall. And lucky us, we were there to capture it (and our little Tour de SF, which I still can’t believe how many locations we were able to squeeze in). We hope you enjoy A LOT of our favorites :) And K+E, we love you guys to pieces and are selfishly overjoyed that you finally live close to us. We’re so dang happy for you.

Hemos sido increíblemente afortunados últimamente en poder fotografiar a nuestros amigos hermosos en el amor. Podría escribir una novela sobre estos dos, pero voy a intentar mantener conciso. El maravilloso Elizabeth comenzó como mi compañero de habitación y desde entonces ha permanecido como uno de mis amigos más queridos. Tengo tanta admiración por Elizabeth como siempre ha sido lo suficientemente valiente para seguir su corazón… que la llevó a Panamá hace unos pocos años, donde conoció y se enamoró de Kristhian. Y Kristhian tiene un increíble sonrisa que sentía como si fuéramos mejores amigos a pesar de que sólo lo conocía a través de fotos hasta el día de su boda! Kristhian + Elizabeth tenía una boda grande abajo en Panamá, que por desgracia nos pudieron asistir. Agitaban el adiós a Centroamérica para su nativo San Francisco, y donde se casaron oficialmente en la impresionante sala ciudad San Francisco. Y suerte, nosotros estábamos allí capturarlo (y nuestro pequeño Tour de SF, que todavía no puedo creer cómo muchos lugares hemos podido exprimir). Esperamos que disfrute mucho de nuestros favoritos :) Y K+E, amo chicos a pedazos y se egoístamente contentos de que finalmente viven cerca de nosotros. Estamos tan felices para usted.

 

Annnnnd we couldn’t leave Ghirardelli Square without doing this…

We are so dang lucky to have such incredible friends…who also happen to be incredibly good looking…and incredibly talented!! The lovely Mary is a very dear friend of ours and she also happens to be an amazing musician and actress. When Mary asked us if we could update her head shots, the answer was of course HECK YES. She is such a bright light. Please enjoy some of our favorites! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARE! We love you to pieces. xoxo

When San Francisco jazz musician Mark Sowlakis contacted us to shoot some photographs for his just released album, we jumped at the opportunity! We put together an urban flavored shoot for his album cover art, which was uniquely special for us as we got to enjoy our own lil concert while shooting. Check out some of our favorites! And check out Mark’s website, www.marksowlakis.com, for more information about his music and to buy the album!

This lovely couple is very near and dear to our hearts. I (Marina) have known the beautiful Amber for over 15 years and I’m honored to still call her one of my closest friends. Although she now lives halfway around the globe in Australia (sad face), her travels abroad led her to meet her fiance Lucas, who is one amazing guy. During their impromptu visit to the states, we insisted on an engagement shoot to celebrate this milestone in their relationship. We love these two and love em together even more. Hope you enjoy some (okay, a lot) of our favs!
