Being a wedding photographer literally entails observing families come to life. One of the most joyful weddings I’ve ever observed was with Gillian and Fabrizio a few years ago when they wed at Santa Clara University, their alma mater. I don’t know how to explain that wedding day, except that it was packed with joy and love in a way that very few days I’ve ever seen have been. It also happened to be on my birthday, and last Saturday I was able to celebrate another birth with them, that of their first child. She is a cutie! Their family of three has found a way into my heart that I can’t quite articulate with words, but I hope these images share a little bit of the joy they bring this world.
