Niki & Eli's Wedding

Let's start this blog entry with a photograph...

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then this photograph is worth 10,000! This is our favorite Teschner family; Dani, Bill, Niki, Jo Ann and BJ and this is how they look 99% of the time. They are such an awesome family to be around as we found out when we photographed sister Dani's wedding to Carlo two and a half years ago and so we were naturally delighted to be photographing younger sister Niki's wedding this summer.

Kim met up with Niki at her parent's house for some getting ready photos..

I simply love this next portrait of Niki. It is so soft and the background is so pastelly ~ it kind of reminds me of a young Audrey Hepburn portrait.

Meanwhile at the Park Savoy, I met up with Eli and his best man/brother Joshua..

The Park Savoy had a very spacious and elegant bridal suite which allowed for us to get some wonderful natural light portraits when Niki arrived..

OK, so what's better than one beautiful bride? How about three beautiful brides and a gorgeous wedding dress!!

Dani helps her brother BJ with his tie..

Quirky angles and out of the ordinary images are often the most exciting for a bride and groom to see, things that they never really notice on the wedding day. This is a reflection of Niki in a mirror and although it's a tad unsharp, it does not detract from the overall mood of the photograph..

Emotional and passionate grooms are a joy to photograph and Eli was definitely both! He couldn't contain his feelings when he saw Niki appear for the first time as his bride and I'm glad he didn't ~ moments like this are priceless!

Although we had a spot of rain during the cocktail hour, we were blessed with glorious conditions for the entire outside ceremony..

Just kidding Bill, you know we love you!

and a little bit of egging on and direction from the guests can help loosen the bride a little (not that Niki needed it!)

Eli's brother Joshua was a keen photographer himself and came armed with his Nikon D300..

The first dance was one to be remembered with Eli serenading Niki..

..and it wouldn't be a party without some good 'ole crazy dancing!

Niki and Eli, we had such a great time at your wedding and really enjoyed hanging out with the Teschners and Sieberts! Hopefully we will see you all again soon? :-)

  1. Niki & Eli's Wedding! It looks super stunning. I am really happy to have the details here. Even I am trying to find the best San Francisco wedding venues for our vintage inspired wedding. We want to tie the knot in February so please help me to find a good but inexpensive spot.
