The Wedding and Portrait Photography of Dave Wong and Gregory Bartning
Rupert.
Family portraits tell a story of a family.
In this case it was about Rupert, a dog of distinguishing character — oh, and Cody and Daphne as well!
But we all knew that it was about Rupert 🙂
So Daphne and Cody giggled, laughed and played supporting roles for you guessed it, Rupert.
We hope you enjoy the images and of course, Rupert — the most patient dog in the world!
Surely, one of the best perks of being a photographer is getting to check out all the wonderful nooks and crannies that simply permeate the San Francisco Bay Area. And so it was with great enthusiasm when we took engagement portraits for Wendy and Louis over in Sausalito.
They mentioned how much they enjoyed past trips to the locale, from the rock-lined walkway and shore along Bridgeway to its little shops in the downtown area.
We also went up a quiet side “street”, Excelsior Lane, that took us up to a modern, yet quaint-looking church, including a very unique pair of intertwined trees.
Sausalito’s got that sleepy fishing village kind of feel — although with all the tourists, may be not all the time, but it’s definitely a cool spot for photos. We had a blast, and ended the session with a short jaunt up the Marin Headlands for some sunset shots with the majestic Golden Gate Bridge.
Wendy and Louis, thanks for the awesome suggestion. We look forward to your wedding later this summer!
Hi Dave and Greg! Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun that day even though I was freezing. We had no idea what we were doing so we didn’t expect the pictures to turn out so nice. Can’t wait to see the rest! Thanks again and I look forward to taking more pictures on our wedding day! =)
Love has no borders.
It finds its way past the tricky man-made boundaries of country and language.
Michele and David are case in point. She is Swiss and he’s American. They met and fell in love.
So they decided to get married in a city that is a melting pot of architecture, people and ideals — San Francisco.
It was a beautiful day — a veritable climatic oasis in a week of wild & windy & hailing(!) weather.
After their ceremony in San Francisco’s palatial City Hall, they laughed at the city’s waterfront, through old North Beach (stopping for a pint of course) and wandered the streets and beaches finally settling in for a long kiss at sunset with that Golden Bridge in the background.
We raise a pint to you both — thank you for letting us celebrate your day together!
Wow, just beautiful pictures! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! It was an awesome day and we will always keep it in great memory! Hugs, Michèle and David
Thank you both so much! It was so wonderful to be a part of your day! It is the reason
that we love photography so much-the story, celebration and journey of life. Big hugs to you both!
