They then sent us a whole series of their friends, all of whom we actually met at their wedding.

First, Elaine and Eddie were married. They had another autumn wedding and chose the perfect venue to highlight the rich greens of fall in San Francisco- the Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park. Before their American ceremony, they participated in the Chinese tea ceremony at both their family homes. After the Shakespeare Garden wedding and taking photos around San Francisco, they celebrated with a fabulous Chinese banquet at House of Banquet.

A couple weeks later, Meredith and Bronson celebrated their wedding. Actually, Meredith’s mother Renn was the connection with Linda and Mike. After meeting us at Linda and Mike’s wedding, she brought Meredith and Bronson in to visit us while they were visiting from Portland. These two have such a great sense of humor; we had an absolute blast working with them and getting to know their families. They were married at StoneTree Golf Club in Novato. Their winter themed wedding was designed and coordinated by Grace Dugan from A Touch of Grace.

This past summer, we were able to photograph Becky and Danny’s wedding. Becky and Danny are friends with Linda and Mike as well as Elaine and Eddie. We actually sat at their table during Elaine and Eddie’s banquet. We felt like we already knew them quite well when they hired us to photograph their wedding at The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island and their bbq celebration in Preston, Connecticut. They are a lovely down-to-earth couple with great taste. We were so excited to celebrate with them.

All of our "generations" are so special to us. We really are so lucky to get to work with such amazing couples. A huge, huge thank you to all of our past brides and grooms who have referred their wonderful friends and family to us.

Here’s Becky and Danny in front of her childhood home. Dave had fun playing with this image, hearkening back to the late 1800′s.

Guests enjoyed an all-day affair and withstood the stormy weather with smiles. The entertainment was non-stop: games of badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping in the pool, and lots of great conversation. They even provided a few props for the other celebration that occurs on July 4.

The tent looked great- decorated with lanterns and lights. They continued the theme of fresh colors of pinks, yellows, and greens.

In the afternoon, Becky and Danny got all dolled up again. Jeanine was there to help with Becky’s prepping.

Just before their introduction, Becky and Danny snuck a kiss.

The rain held off on the wedding day and everyone was thrilled. Alas, they weren’t so lucky for some of the BBQ. Becky and Danny dashed from the house to the tent under this huge umbrella.

And then right into their second first dance. (Their first first dance being at The Chanler.) Have I mentioned how awesome it is that they get to do everything 3 times!

Becky’s dad was so funny during this speech. He brought one of Danny’s friends up to translate for him. Everyone assumed that Danny’s friend would be translating into Chinese for any of Danny’s relatives who might prefer that. Then he started speaking in Chinese. The friend was there to translate into English! Of course there was tons of laughter and appreciative applause. Apparently he did quite a good job, too.

And this pretty much sums up the whole shebang.

Becky and Danny, we are so excited for you to embark on this adventure together. We wish you all the best and have had such a great time getting to know you better. Have a fabulous time at the Banquet this weekend!

You can check out the first two installments of Becky and Danny’s wedding here: part 1 and part 2.

Just in case you are wondering, the broom is a family joke, and we are so glad that Becky’s aunt decorated it and brought it along.

You may recall Becky and Danny got married at The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island. This destination wedding had it all: beautiful location in a great town with an intimate group of friends and family.

When last I wrote, I left off just after the ceremony. During the cocktail hour, we took some portraits of Becky and Danny with their guests. These guys were such a hoot. They didn’t need any encouragement; they had tons of funny ideas!

Following the group shots, we took Becky and Danny on a stroll around the property.

We had absolutely no trouble finding amazing places to shoot.

The festivites got started as Becky and Danny were introduced.

Their nephew listened intently (those are his parents behind him) to one of the speeches.

Danny enjoyed a dance with Becky’s mom.

And Becky stole a hug from Danny’s mom.

As the sun was beginning to set, we captured this. This is the view from their suite.

Then back to the party. Becky’s little nephews could really get down. They were breakdancing all over the place; I don’t know where they learned it, but they definitely knew the moves. Of course, that meant that Becky and Danny’s friends had to put on a show as well.

It was a pretty emotional day for everyone. Becky’s mom shared her love with Becky in this tender moment.

One closing shot….

We really had such an amazing time shooting Becky and Danny’s wedding. Everyone was great.

A huge thank you to the staff at The Chanler. They were outstanding and definitely made the day perfect for Becky and Danny.

There is still one more installment. Check back soon to see pix from the Fourth of July Celebration in Connecticut!

Becky and Danny flew in from California for a destination wedding in Newport, RI- a truly stunning town. And they picked a perfect venue, The Chanler at Cliff Walk, one of the historic Newport Mansions, for their ceremony and first reception.

They wanted their wedding to be an intimate affair with their very closest friends and family. The Chanler was perfect for that and it was a real treat for those who had travelled.

Becky started her day prepping in their suite. When we arrived, she had just come from having her hair and make-up done and needed a bite to eat before getting dressed. So we took a few moments to grab some detail shots.

After Becky was all set, we took the opportunity to take some portraits. What a great place to take pix! We get great images and Becky got to enjoy the view- they were right above Easton’s Beach.

And then we captured a few more of Becky in her room- the room was so lush and luxurious- absolutely perfect for Becky and Danny’s first night.

Meanwhile, Danny was downstairs rehearsing his vows. He has the sweetest smile- no wonder Becky adores him.

Becky had a great walk "down the aisle." She actually walked from The Chanler up to the green in front of it, then all the way around it through these very pretty gardens and then down the aisle. Quite an entrance! And her guests were very eager to see her- check out all those cameras!

With their friend, Jeanine officiating, Becky and Danny said their wedding vows under blue skies with the blue ocean as a backdrop. So beautiful!

You did it Becky and Danny!

And they couldn’t resist stealing this kiss a moment later!

These two were absolutely so fantastic and sweet and wonderful. We had such an awesome time with them. Fortunately we get to extend it a bit longer.

Until then, here’s a snippet of what’s to come….

Becky and Danny have amazing family and friends; here’s a quick peak of their nieces and nephew hanging out during the cocktail (make that mocktail) hour. Note the beautiful view is behind them.

Definitely check back soon. We can’t wait to share the rest from their evening at The Chanler.
