A male voice, a female voice, and a dog's whiny sighs. We're a couple from San Francisco. He's a designer that loves footwear, and she's a biologist who gets to travel for work. The dog, well, he's just a grown ass puppy. These are the musings of what we fill our bellies with, down to what we fill our minds with. Basically, this is life lived through our camera phones and brought to you with no commercial interruptions. Come. Stay. Enjoy. -us

The wait was definitely worth it. Alex Vo is a highly sought after videographer for his eye and his translation of what’s in front of him to what’s behind the screen. This is the conclusion of EAT THIS. DRINK THAT, appropriately titled ATE THIS. DRANK THAT.


Alex, it was a pleasure working along side you. Your style is unparalleled to videos we’ve seen and we truly appreciate what you, Amber and Ryan captured the day of our wedding.

What a beautiful weekend! We’re still on Cloud 9, and yearning to relive each moment again. B surprised me with this documentary during the wedding. I’m not going to lie, I was pretty teary-eyed the whole time. Both B and Alex did a great job of keeping this a secret. I am completely humbled and in love. As B mentions, this is dedicated to all of our friends who have supported us through the years. We love you!

The hours invested into this project was intense. Enough said. It felt like finals for college all over again. A flashback to a moment of youth - without all the “youth”. I was going to go into this entry explaining the process behind the design but I’ll save it for DesignRehab. :) I am now counting the days ‘til the open bar (and of course to be wedded to my wedding invite design boss).

Happy birthday weekend to Rocket! 

His 4th birthday will be tomorrow, April 30th, but we decided to pre-celebrate with a weekend of extra spoiling: doggie playtime for hours on end, tasty treats, and extra hugs and kisses all around!

Saturday started off with a relaxing spa and bath treatment at Fort Funston, followed by an open bar full of salt water and sand appetizers. This led to irregular gas leaks…even PG&E would have been sued for this. 

The evening was topped off with special cookies of the junk food assortment. Above is a visual archive of the birthday celebration. We love you baby boy!

We spent this past Saturday shooting some b-roll with our videographer, Alex. The weather was pretty nice out, so we trekked over to Hayes and grabbed a few bites in the Mission. Good times with good company. Rocks even got to experience his first cab ride home. No joke. Peep some stills from the footage captured by Alex. :)

Just a few favorites from our engagement session with our good friend, Jaymer. Peep his blog here. We can’t wait for him to work his magic on our big day! :)

IT WAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON…
and B insisted that I meet him at the dog park after work. He usually takes Rocket to the park after work, so I didn’t think much of it and headed on over. On my way there, three individuals approached me saying strange nothings. A girl looking lost asked, “Isn’t it such a beautiful day today?” then scuffled off. A guy around the same age nervously approached with, “Isn’t it great to have a plus one?” then ran off as well. I was pretty baffled, but shrugged it off as normal city behavior. I eventually made my way up to the park where B and Rocks always played, but less than twenty paces in, a woman approached me with an older gentleman and said, “You’re beautiful. Anyone would be lucky to have you.”

I started to think this was some kind of college psychology project. I laughed it off, only to be greeted by Rocks lunging towards me in a bow tie. B was in the distance dressed way to nicely for the dog park. Then it hit me - he was proposing! While I was trudging up the hill, he got down on one knee, and as they say, “the rest was history.”

But before he could finish sliding the ring on my finger, a bum (who I apparently ignored on my way up), asked for his money. Turns out, B had hired random strangers to drop hints and inside jokes. I didn’t hear the bum because he had no teeth. Go figure. But I definitely heard, “Where’s my five dollars?” though!

As if all of this wasn’t amazing enough, B’s brother, Alan, and his buddy Jaymer, revealed themselves from their hiding spots. They had captured every moment on camera (thanks guys!). The celebration followed at Benu, where we got completely sloppy over wine pairings and a delicately prepared menu.

The evening was festive, blissful, and spent inebriated to the point of yacking. :) Both B and I traded turns in the restroom. Even Rocks yacked (no joke) from eating too much grass earlier at the park. But hey, it’s not official unless everyone joins the party, right? June 4th marked as an irreplaceable moment in our lives.
