Vicka and Andre might be one of the nicest couples I have ever met. The first day I met them, we decided to grab coffee and discuss the details of their wedding. This turned into hours of chatting about their long distance relationship, my transition moving to Hawaii, how much we love frozen yogurt, discovering that we are neighbors (yes, they live right down the street), and the firm decision that we should all hang out the very next day for drinks and more laughs. Since then, they have invited Bobby and I over for game nights, tennis matches, and even recycling debates in their hot tub. Needless to say, they have quickly become two of my favorite people. Looking at these photos makes me especially happy because these aren’t just photos of clients… these are photos of my friends.

I was thrilled when Vicka and Andre agreed to do a first-look before the ceremony. We explored Chinatown and happened upon a parade. It turned out to be one of my favorite photographs:

The ceremony was sweet and intimate with their parents and siblings. Oh yeah, and it was on a sailboat!
