Sheryll and Marlon came to meet with me and booked me over a year ago. I loved them from the first sight I saw both of them! it’s been a long time since I have been thinking what the photos will turn out for them and now they are on my blog. I look forward to the big day!

Your dream has come true – 6 years ago, it was you, James, whom Beth chose to dance with, at this beautiful event with all the people who loved both of you. You had to play “hard to get” in order to get this most amazing woman. During Thanksgiving of 2009, among all the things that people were thankful for, Beth had the most amazing one – her boyfriend whom she was deeply in love with, finally proposed…

And Beth, you are one of the simplest, humblest, purest and most loving women I have seen. You shared every bit of yourself and gave every bit of love you have to your beloved… when you said with much pride: “I, am the luckiest one who married James!” on your wedding day, your beautiful face lit up and the whole world could not help but falling in love with you too, including me… You both have worked so hard to be together and it was that special day, when you finally danced as husband and wife – for the first time. May you both keep dancing together, for a long lifetime …

xoxoxo…

Blessings to you, my dear friends… I look forward to capture more beautiful images on your wedding day.

It was Wendy first send a love note to Herman during class when they were both in high school, and it was Wendy who also broke up with him. 20 years has past, they completely lost contact. When they somehow reconnect, it was freaky – without meeting each other in person, here are the questions back and forth: “Which high school did you go to?””uh…Mission High…why? “Herman Ma!” “Woo, how do you know my last name?” … so after 20 years, their love story continued…

At the of their engagement session, Herman said to Wendy: you are so beautiful, I would propose again if I didn’t…

In the movie Julia and Julie, Julia Child asked her husband Paul: “what if you didn’t fall in love with me?” Paul said” but I did…” and here came all the stories happened in Paris and a birth of one of the greatest French cook books in the American history. There are way too many what ifs around us, I don’t know about you, I constantly ask myself the what ifs – some are way too silly, like – what if I never became a photographer… what if I never lived in San Francisco… I started to believe everything happens for a very good reason and meant to be. And like many other things that are meant to be, after all of these years missing each other, Lily and Andreas did fall in love… The wedding is going to be at the beautiful Oceano Hotel at Half Moon Bay, like a fairy tale finally comes true…

I look forward to the big day, Lily and Andreas… xoxo, Jasmine

Impressionism is coming to town at the end of this month to our favorite DeYoung, it’s time to make a few water lily “Monet like” photos! Albany landfill was one of the coolest places I have ever photographed, thanks J for introducing it to me!

Seven years ago this day, you and Raymond chose to give your hearts to each other… how would you have known what a wonderful decision that would turn out to be? You have been Raymond’s first and last girlfriend, until he proudly called you “my beautiful wife”… In many sense, I truly think you both are the luckiest in the world. There’s no greater gift in the world than sharing a life together, and now you gave this gift to each other. What a privilege to be the first, last and the only one for a life time…

I have seen you cried – when you and Raymond came to meet with me for the first time, one of my photo albums reminded you of the vows you have taken – your cried; when I photographed your engagement session, we relived the nostalgic moment at the City Hall, you cried; on your wedding day at the Bridges, you cried… there’s no greater evidence of love for one to see, so precious, so crystal clear, so beautiful.

Best wishes to both of you,

xoxo, Jasmine

Today I want to share with you some of my favorite new albums. When DHL delivered them this morning I could hardly wait to see… each time I saw a new album I made for our beautiful couples – I feel soooo excited and anxious to see how my bride and groom will like them. As I have left so much of heart and thoughts into them, I hope you all like what you see…

Love, Jasmine
