the lilia extravaganza

Thanks to the O'Kauffmans and Bitarongs for a fantastically ironic Hipster Party last week! As usual, I slacked on getting my pics ready. You can see the entire set on Flickr.

"We Did" Session at the Beach

nobody@vox.com(Lilia) — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:48:25 -0700

Ray and I have been super busy with weddings and portrait sessions the last few weeks, and I'm now just getting caught up.

Congrats to Katie and John who were married on September 28. Ray and I shot their wedding, and I'll share those photos later this week. A few weekends ago, Ray and I met Katie and John and their dog, Zach, at Baker Beach for a post wedding "We Did" portrait session. Katie was brave enough to get her wedding dress wet on the beach!

Haley & Craig

A few weeks ago, I shared a few photos from Haley and Craig's engagement session. On September 15, Ray and I were honored to document their wedding at the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco. Haley and Craig are incredibly warm and wonderful people. I was with Haley before the ceremony, and I almost started crying when I heard her practicing her vows--very sincere and heartfelt. Wow, they way they looked at each other during the ceremony, makes my heart swoon, seriously.

Since we were at a golf course, we decided to take the groomsmen out to the nearest hole for a few quick shots. Some jackass golfers decided to scream and yell at us because they thought we were in the way. How rude! Like you couldn't wait five minutes for a guy to get some pics taken on his wedding day? Well, we ignored them and got our shots anyway, and made them wait. ;)

Check out the wedding day slideshow for some photos from the epic dancing at the reception. These people know how to par-tay!

Babies Galore

Last night Michelle and Jateen were kind enough to invite a few us over for dinner and drinks to meet their twin girls, Elina and Naiyana. The girls are preemies, and so very tiny (5 & 6 pounds each). Luckily they are doing well, despite being born six weeks early. Our friends Josh and Lucy brought their darling, 5 week old baby, Jemma, who is a bruiser compared to the twins. It's interesting that these little girls can say they've known each other almost their entire lives. How many of us can say that about people outside of our families?

North Beach & Baker Beach Engagement Session

nobody@vox.com(Lilia) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 08:39:35 -0700

Last week Ray and I had a really fun engagement session with Haley and Craig. We're shooting their San Francisco wedding this Saturday, and we're honored to be a part of their special day. Haley and Craig are an incredibly friendly and fun couple, and you can really see the love between them in their photos.

We ended up at Baker Beach because of the gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. If you're not from SF, you might not know that Baker Beach is also a nude beach, and if you look closely in the slideshow, you might catch a glimpse of a naked guy parading around.

Update: Since some of my Vox peeps couldn't view the slideshow on their Neighborhood page, I removed the embedded slideshow. You can now view the slideshow here.
