Mariko and John are the first couple from my Stanford class who I’ve worked with. While I will likely know quite a few wedding guests, I hadn’t met this dynamic duo until our photo session on Baker beach this past Sunday. They came up from Los Angeles for an early morning shoot, and undeterred by the triathlon that shared the beach with us, we spent a great morning on the beach with a whole side completely to ourselves. From the moment we met Mariko and John couldn’t stop laughing. They have such wonderful energy and are so at ease with each other’s company that these photos almost took on a life of their own. I love this set of images with the iconic blend of the Golden Gate Bridge with this genuine, energetic and fun couple.

I stumbled upon this after my gf told me the marriage was in the NY Times. I couldn’t agree with Claire more, the seriousness in the 6th picture embodies John’s essence. I hope John sees this comment to appreciate my insight.
I love these pictures, Noah! They are gorgeous and I think they capture Mariko and John perfectly!
Beautiful photos of a fun and beautiful couple! Can’t wait for the wedding shots!
