Romantic Multicultural Celebration at Hidden Villa + Stanford Memorial Church

When Bianca and Sam were thinking about their wedding, they wanted to plan an event that was personal to them and felt fun, inclusive, and relaxing. Following a traditional ceremony at Stanford Memorial Church, the pair planned a reception at Hidden Villa filled with personal and meaningful performances honoring their Mexican and Filipino heritage. They served carnitas, tepache, and halo-halo and hired a mariachi band for dinner entertainment. Bianca performed with her college Polynesian dance group and Sam with his band, as well as a special song dedicated to Bianca’s late father. Even with a full guest list, their celebration felt romantic, meaningful, and intimate.

Winter Engagement at Foothills Park | Palo Alto

Eleanor and Jake spent a lot of time in this park early in the relationship, in fact, Jake proposed on a bench at the top of the hill overlooking the valley and San Francisco. They were excited to celebrate this gorgeous landscape with a photoshoot and wanted lots of Tiny People Big Places photos. We were lucky to have a beautiful winter afternoon and, as the sun dropped behind the trees, plenty of curious deer wandered down for a visit.
