When we first met Kevin and Gerika, it felt like catching up with old friends. They have a warmth about them that puts you at ease right away, and on their wedding day, that feeling was everywhere.
Before the big day, I had the chance to do their engagement session in the studio. It turned into an afternoon of nonstop laughing and dancing. By the end, it didn’t feel like a photo shoot anymore. It felt like hanging out. That made it easy for us to run it back on the wedding day, because we already knew who they were together.
As a team, we’ve been to Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery many times. When you know a venue that well, it’s easy to get comfortable and shoot it the same way every time. For K & G’s wedding, we wanted to see it with fresh eyes and give their day a feel that was all their own.
Before the wedding, we asked them what they wanted to remember most. Their answer was simple: the quiet moments between the two of them, the candid moments with their family and friends, and the energy of the night, from the speeches all the way through the dancing. That became our focus for the whole day.
When I sat down to go through and curate their photos, I had one goal. I wanted to be able to look at them and hear the day: the laughs, the happy tears, and how loud and full the room was with people celebrating these two. I’m so happy with how it all came together. Every time I scroll through them, I’m right back in that room. And Kevin and Gerika, I hope these bring you right back to that night every time you look at them.
Kevin and Gerika, thank you for trusting us to capture your day. It was truly a pleasure getting to know you both, and we’re so glad we can now call you friends.
Cheers,
David & Team
