GoYaMoOn Band - Bay Area Band

"I was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I’ve been singing for a while, and for the last ten years I’ve lived in the Bay Area. A few years ago I recorded my first CD of original tunes called “Tonalidade Brasileira”. This project captured some of the songs that I wrote since I arrived in the US, and was a fun collaboration with some friends. I called the group GoYaMoOn, named after a blue crab from the Northeast of Brazil.

Now, we’re spinning up GoYaMoOn Band - 2.0. The band’s concept is to bring together the vibe and groove of Brazilian music and the improvisional spirit of American jazz. We’re going to be bringing a mix of original compositions and go deep into the Brazilian songbook to create music we dig, and maybe you will too." - GoYaMoOn Zapatero

Our company was established in 1972 by Irving Natter, a former school teacher and assistant principal.

Kemmeo Photography - Photographer

"I love photography for some of the same reasons that I love theater-- I love to be apart of the production from conception to completion. Weddings, with all of their traditions, protocol, rituals, costumes, and heightened emotions (I have yet to shoot a wedding with a dry eye) in many ways mirrors a theatrical production with the exception of it being a one night only event. For me, this means being present at all times and prepared for that sudden nervous chuckle of the groom when he can not get the ring on his nervous bride's finger. And capturing those moments is a trust between myself and my clients that I honor. Capturing what happens in 1/125 of a second is what I do and sometimes that is just enough time to catch a baby's smile before that never ceasing drool makes it's way over your babies first tooth and on to her red velvet dress." - Kemmeo
