Bay Area Photographer

I know I say this with every.single couple, but its always true! I just absolutely fell IN LOVE with Kimmy & Kassa! They are two of the most in love and down to earth people I have ever met! They have amazing stories and their lives just so happened to collide into each other thousands of miles from home.

Kimmy is originally from Hong Kong and came to the States to attend college while Kassa is from Ethiopia and did the same. They both landed in the Bay Area to attend Stanford for their Ph.D.’s in Physics. Lets just say…they are smarties! 😀 I was instantly drawn to their connection with each other. They finish each others’ sentences, they love to constantly touch each other and boast about each others’ accomplishments. They genuinely are excited to be around each other and I am so so so excited that I get to document their big day in October in Palo Alto, Ca. Its going to be an amazing day!

We met and we knew it. We were to be great friends! Angie and I met back in January or February of this year. I had just arrived in San Francisco only a few short months before and hadn’t actually been in the city for more than 10 days at any one time. My accent was still strong, but I was determined to get out and meet photographers and wedding vendors in the area to build relationships. We exchanged business cards, chatted for a few minutes and went our separate ways. Not soon thereafter, I received an email from Angie saying that she was going to be throwing an anniversary bash and asked if I would be interested in being a vendor! What?!?! I was beyond excited! Of course!

When I met Angie at her adorable studio, I was BLOWN away! Angie is absolutely gorgeous on her own, but Annie Lam with Makeup Movement turned her into a diva!!! She looked AHmazing! People commented all evening about how wonderful she looked! To express it perfectly, here is what Angie posted to FB before her party started! “Omg. My hair & makeup is so amazing, I just might have to call off the party & do 1 of 2 things…. Shoot some boudoir of my own, or run off & get married!!!” I’m SO excited to see which new head shot she decides to use! 😀

Friends, family, clients and industry peers turned out and celebrated Angie’s anniversary! She is so warm hearted and just crazy amounts of fun (her dad might have said we were “soul sisters” at one point or another), its no wonder so many people came to celebrate!

All of the sponsors were fantastic to work with and meet! So excited for building relationships and experiencing San Francisco’s wedding industry!
