Vicki & Brian - Wedding

Friday, October 24, 2008

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting Vicki and Brian's wedding last weekend. They were married  at St. Augustine's Catholic Church in Pleasanton and their reception was held at the beautiful Dublin Ranch Golf Course in Dublin.
One thing you need to know about this couple is that they don't take themselves seriously - AT ALL ! Candid was the word of the day, as they couldn't stop making faces and goofing off all day long. But if you get to know them, you realize that this is who they are, and you love them for it. 
It is no exaggeration that I truly felt as if I was a guest at their wedding, rather than a paid professional. I can't count the amount of times that I was pulled on the dance floor to dance with Vicki & Brian. At one point, Brian told me to put down the camera and just have fun with them. Being the complete professional I am, I politely declined...however, when they look at their video, they will see me on the very edge of the dance floor  "shakin' what the Lord gave me".
Vicki and Brian, thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of capturing your wedding day.  You reminded me again why I absolutely LOVE what I do and that I would not trade my "job" for anything in the world.
I hope you enjoy your two weeks in Hawaii and I can't wait for your "Trash the Dress" session when you get back.
Much love and appreciation....

The beautiful dress


Some sassy bling

Normally I never take time to "stop and smell the roses"...but these flowers were the sweetest I have ever smelled





We took a few moments behind the Church in this small courtyard. The light was amazing.

I fell in love with her rings. I mean, really fell in love.  Brian has excellent taste in women and jewelry.  I now know what to ask for on my 10th wedding anniversary.

G O R G E O U S !!!!!!

I couldn't pick just one favorite dance photo...

Wedding- Nora & Rick - Wente Winery

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

This past weekend we shot a beautiful wedding in Livermore at Wente Winery. I was a little nervous because the weather called for rain all day, but luckily it only rained in the morning and by the time the ceremony started it was blue skies and puffy clouds.
I have been so lucky this year to photograph some amazing weddings with some absolutely amazing couples. This wedding was no different. 
The day was full of so much love and it was so infectious. I couldn't help but cry (again) during their ceremony, as it was full of such beautiful words about the two of them.
But it didn't end there...the toasts were spectacular, the dancing was fun and hilarious, and the CAKE....the BEST carrot cake I have ever had ! It made my tummy so very happy.
It was so hard to choose photos for the blog because there were so many amazing moments, but here are a few of my favorite.
Enjoy !
