Anna and Jon met in Oakland in 2013 through work. While it was not love at first sight, they eventually fell for one another and have been going on many adventures together since. Some of their most important adventures include Jon's proposal to Anna in Turks and Caicos and when they officially became husband and wife on 2/22/22. This date holds a special place in their hearts and it's a day they'll never forget.
On their wedding day, Anna and Jon got ready separately in rooms at the Hyatt House in San Ramon. Anna's twin sister, Ada, helped her into her stunning gown and she did a big reveal to the bridesmaids. Everyone in the room was filled with joy and excitement for the couple. As the guys prepared for the day, their room was filled with a chill vibe - highlighting their camaraderie.

Their first look with each other was a special moment filled with anticipation for the events to come. They shared an excitement of seeing each other in their best outfits and off all the scheduled moments for the day. As the calm of this moment began to set in, we were brought to the next moment: driving to and arriving at the wedding venue of their dreams! Once arriving, their family awaited the moment to see them. They chose to do a family first look, including with their beloved corgi, Belle.

Anna and Jon's couple portraits around the venue were simply breathtaking. They walked hand in hand through the well known tunnel at The Bridges Golf Club. Our golf cart ride back to the ceremony area was surrounded by the stunning views of the golf course and the mountains. The intimate moments they shared during this time will be treasured for years to come.
