Jen & Andrew

What a great day! Jen & Andrew are such a warm and welcoming couple - we felt right at home with them and their families.
Blending two cultural traditions, Jen & Andrew tied the knot at Minoru Chapel where Andrew's parents were married in 1973. After a simple ceremomy that emphasized their love, we headed into Minoru Park for family photos.

There was a touching moment in the park when Andrew's dad showed me a photograph taken at his own wedding and they asked us to duplicate it. What was so important about that moment and that image was that Andrew's mother had passed away a little over a year ago, and wasn't there to witness her son's wedding. As you can imagine, it was a day full of memory and heavy with the weight of what was missing. But none of that detracted from the fact that this was also a celebration and we made an image that, I hope, reflects the original they showed us. We're not actually going to post that image here - we want them to share it privately first.

After the park, we moved on to historic Steveston Village. It was a challenge to find areas that weren't crowded with tourists and pedestrains as this is a very popular spot. But we took the bridal party on a walking tour of Steveston and, along the way, made some beautiful images.
