My little bro is married

First my little bro graduated as documented in this way earlier posting of "My little bro is a college graduate" and now I get to blog about his wedding. They had fun and simple, "bellies hangin' out" kind of wedding at my aunt's house on the Central Coast with just our combined little families. It was perfect.
This is just another great reason why I love my job as a photographer. I get to document special events for those close to me. That's when this job goes on to a whole other level of meaning for me wrapped in even more emotions.
Yes, it was a bit difficult being Maid of Honor and Photographer so I couldn't get all the shots I wanted but I wouldn't have let any other person(s) do either job(s).

Beautiful Pismo Beach, Ca.

Erika & Roman - San Francisco, Ca

Wow, my first wedding of 2009 and I am so excited to post these pictures. Erika and Roman were married in San Francisco's beautiful City Hall. They are have a wedding in Mexico later this month but wanted some pictures for their civil ceremony. I love shooting at city hall because it's so classic San Francisco and old worldly.
Erika glammed it up with her super chic outfit, matching yellow accessories and white gloves and Roman was looking effortlessly handsome in a charcoal pin stripped suit. Talk about a stylish couple! They are the epitome of sophistication and style. Then Erika's sisters and mother showed looking equally stylish and beautiful. I was in photographers heaven. Yes, Erika is obviously a natural beauty but she went with the classic theme of SF's City Hall and pulled together an appropriate and stylish outfit which took it up a notch. Now this is how you get married at city hall!
