(words by erin)

Eunice and Shan are getting married this summer in San Francisco. We were so happy to get them in front of our cameras before the big day for some engagement photos.

Eunice booked her hair and makeup with the amazing Maria Chang (who also did my hair and makeup for our wedding in Mexico), so going into this shoot we knew one thing for sure – Eunice was going to look fantastic.

We started off with casual photos on the hiking trail behind our house, then Eunice and Shan changed into formal wear when the light got lower. We loved shooting Eunice in her long fuchsia gown – the color contrasted so beautifully with the lush green grass. And we were lucky to be treated to that beautiful, golden California light that can be rare up here in the north.

Thanks for spending the afternoon with us Eunice and Shan – we’ll see you in July!

Words and photos by Mauricio Arias

Jeni and Dave chose the iconic Palace of Fine Arts for their February wedding in San Francisco.

They got a rare sunny day in this notoriously foggy, overcast city. But they also got wind. Lots of it. As the wind repeatedly lifted Jeni’s veil up and, sometimes, completely off of her head, everyone laughed and shared these lighthearted moments together.

Jeni was a great sport for our creative portraits after the ceremony, not even hesitating to run up to the top of one of the historic structures in her long, flowing gown and bare feet.

We then returned to the Ritz-Carlton to feast and dance with the new couple’s closest family and friends.

Congratulations Jeni and Dave – I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Pure art!! Amaizing frases!! Felicidades!!! Soys una inspiración!

(05.15.2012)

Mauricio- excellent blend of playing with light and framing and sincere heartwarming moments. I especially love the ceremony shots where they are looking at eachother with the priest on the right, and the windy ceremony shot- your decision to keep just the number of people in it that you did was perfect!

(05.15.2012)

Mauricio, you have captured the moment perfectly upon these sets of images! LOVE!

Words by Dave Getzschman

As a kid, I habitually checked our mailbox, hoping to find the latest issue of American PHOTO. It was the only source for pictures of scantily-clad ladies allowed in our household – a coveted item for a pre-teen in the pre-Internet era. Of course, the articles told me nothing about the statuesque nudes depicted or how to woo them – just technical details about cameras and lighting.

Unwittingly, I developed an understanding of photography.

Twenty-five years later, it feels like life coming full circle to see my own photos featured in the magazine, yet I’m still just as clueless as I was back then about wooing women.

To the editors at American PHOTO, past and present: thanks for giving me such generous exposure. To my Dad, an amateur photographer who first introduced me to the medium: sorry for tearing the Cindy Crawford pictures out of your magazine.

(words by erin)

When they had finally made it to the altar together, after Marguerite’s tearful walk down the aisle with her father, Ryan instinctually kissed her on the cheek, causing everyone to giggle and the minister to joke “Now that’s not supposed to happen until later.” Ryan kissed her again after he put her ring on her finger, and at least one more time, before the “official” first kiss. Ryan later told Marguerite he knew she was nervous and emotional and just wanted to comfort her. As he told her this, she nodded knowingly. This is just how Ryan is. To me, it represented how perfectly in sync these two are.

In the limo, on the way to the reception, Ryan launched into all these funny stories from his getting-ready time with the guys. It was obvious that Marguerite is the first person he wants to tell when something interesting happens, and he couldn’t wait to catch her up on everything that had happened during their hours apart.

These two also have a serene peacefulness about them when they are together – it’s the look that people have when they know everything is right in their world, and that they have made the right decisions about the kind of person they want to be, and the kind of person they want to be with. It’s an inspiring thing to witness.

After the ceremony, as we were posing and adjusting Ryan and Marguerite for portraits, they both had such huge, joyful smiles on their faces, even between shots. It was obvious it wasn’t just for our cameras. I said to Marguerite, “You look so happy.” And she looked over at her new husband, squeezed his hand, and said, more to him than to me, “I am happy.”

(Thank you to Mauricio Arias for joining us at the wedding. Several of the photos are his.)
