One of the cutest brides I’ve had the pleasure of shooting. Just look at her! Really happy couple, really fun groomsmen. And the church was really beautiful too. Ceremony and reception at First Presbyterian Church of Oakland, California.
The wedding of Julia and Soh at the Calistoga Ranch in Calistoga, California.
I showed up for the groomsmen getting ready shots and some of the groomsmen were still drunk from the night before. I secretly approve of this. As they were getting undressed (but before they were getting dressed), they were dancing on the counter tops in the kitchen. I secretly approve of this as well. One of the groomsmen kept asking me if they were the wildest groomsmen I had ever had and asking for stories about other wild weddings. Sorry, telling tales from other weddings would be breaking the sacred groomsmen/photographer confidentiality. Unless they are tales of still-drunk, near naked groomsmen dancing on the furniture; those stories are fair game. 😉
Lovely wedding; super cute flower girl. Really nice and fun couple to work with. Ceremony and reception at Sally Tomatoes in Rohnert Park, California.
Karen and Corey’s wedding in San Francisco.
A little rain on their wedding day is good luck, right? Tea ceremony at the Westin Hotel San Francisco followed by a limousine cable car ride. Then the ceremony and reception at the Intercontinental Hotel San Francisco. The traditional Chinese Lion Dance was a nice surprise! Corey is a firefighter for the San Francisco Fire Department, which explains the cake topper. Congrats Karen and Corey!
Gotta love a beach wedding. Not only do I get to make some great photos, but running around in the sand gives me a great workout! Add in flip flops for the groomsmen and cowboy boots for the bridesmaids and you get a wedding to remember. Ceremony and reception at Restorante Portofino in Pacifica, California.
Which is better? Photographing a wedding at a winery or photographing a wedding in a redwood grove? How about both! Yuching got a chance to practice her German on this one (most of Johannes’ family flew in from Germany for the ceremony). Really great couple, which always makes my job all that much more rewarding.
What a wedding! Beautiful ceremony location, horse-drawn carriage, a red carpet for the guests to walk down, and both the bride and the groom planned surprise songs to sing to each other! Ceremony and reception at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame, California.
My favorite niece (and my other favorite niece) in the studio for a quick portrait session. (No ice cream comes were harmed in the making of these pictures.)
Hurray! an Indian Ceremony! Love love love the colors for Indian weddings! Hyojeong is Korean and Amit is Indian. They did a Korean ceremony in Korea for her family, and this was the Hindu ceremony at the Decathlon Club in Santa Clara, California. Great couple and — I have to say — the best food I’ve had at any wedding to date (except my own wedding, of course 😉 )
The best weddings for me are always the ones where the couple is so clearly in love with each other. Such was the case with Tracy and Jason. Ceremony and reception at the Bennett Valley Golf Course in Santa Rosa, California.
