Cicada Restaurant Wedding Photos: Karen + Steve

Karen + Steve’s Wedding: 11/14/2009 – Oh how an ordinary trip to the bank turned out to be the beginning of a beautiful relationship between Karen and Steve. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with them in Paris and London for their e-session earlier this Summer and it’s not secret how much they love each other and how much they care about their loved ones.

Their ever-so-beautiful wedding at Cicada Restaurant, coordinated by the equally ever-so-amazing Trini of NOZZA Studio, was the backdrop for the wedding ceremony and reception. From a tea ceremony that took center stage and both bouquet/garder toss from the stairs to dramatic lights and yummy decorations, Karen and Steve totally decked out their wedding with emotion, personality, and love.

So many amazing moments throughout the day…and it truly felt like photographing two friends’ wedding. I take that back, it was photographing two friends’ wedding as both Karen and Steve mean so much to me. Not only were they so considerate to work with my availability and take me to Europe, but both are huge Golden State Warriors fans (well mainly Steve :P). Now any couple willing to support a team as bad as the Clippers deserve major kudos in my books :). We’re totally going to the next Warriors/Clippers game to see who suck more, right Steve? All kidding aside, you won’t find two NICER people than K + S. Seriously, ask anyone in this world. You really won’t. Congrats guys, I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon right now and NOT checking out this sneak peak ;).

Also be sure to check out Will Kim’s blog for more photos; he’s been absolutely amazing second shooting for me this Summer and Fall. Extra thanks to Karen and Steve for introducing me to Will earlier this year :). I’m really excited to continue working with him in 2010!

Thanks Karen and Steve for taking a minute to snap a few photos with Will and me :).
