What do you get when you have two people fall in love over their love of hip hop dance? You get one rockin’ wedding!!
Cyrill and Ed met and developed their relationship through FUSION, a Bay-Area dance crew that has essentially become their second family. With a couple who’s lives are so steeped in this portion of the hip hop scene, you know their wedding wouldn’t be right without the little (and big) nods to their common love.
Greg and I started the day, worried about the insane wind outside (let’s just say that we had to warn the girls to shellac their hair down before they think about going outdoors!). Thankfully it died down during the ceremony, and by the time we were at SF State for the wedding party session, the air only had a slight chill to it.
Back to South SF, the group tore it up at the reception. From the first dance that morphed from Alicia Keys to some visual montage of dances through the ages, to the 40-ish person FUSION performance (I’m totally guessing on that number!), to the boom box birthday cake, to the sweet special dance that the couple and their friends performed at the end, this reception just oozed a love for hip hop… and I was loving every moment!
Cyrill and Ed, I hope these pictures do the job at showing just how fun the day truly was… and I can’t wait to shoot your couple session, wherever it may be! ;D Enjoy!!
Brides – if you have a hook/button back to your dress, be sure to have tweezers, a crochet hook, bobby pins, etc. on-hand. You do NOT want to have to stand there while your bridesmaid struggles doing you up with her acrylic nails…

Dang.
What’s a Filipino Catholic ceremony without a bit of laughter?
Work it.
Keeping it real.
Greg insisted on getting this shot. Glad he did.

Their beautiful first dance…
…what the what?!
Bless his heart, it was a beautiful dinner prayer. But I’ll be honest – with the mini-toast he snuck in, the Our Father AND the Hail Mary, I’ve never giggled so much during one of these in my life!!

How neat is this? Cyrill and Ed share a birthday, which is now their wedding anniversary, as well!
