Here’s another October beautiful wedding that I shot alongside Claudia Akers of Claudia Akers Photography. The candlelight ceremony was soo beautiful. There’s something about those old mission churches that make the wedding ceremony so solemn and prayerful.

Ah! The beauty of living in the Bay Area is that we have such awesome wedding venues! Case in point is Leal Winery, where I had the pleasure of shooting alongside Claudia Akers for the wedding of Connie and Mickee. The couple was absolutely gorgeous and so much in love.

Last wedding of September! Kerry and Jeff’s wedding in Mission in San Rafael was absolutely beautiful and I had the opportunity to capture some priceless moments, alongside the talented San Francisco photographer Kinsley Wong. The overall tone of the wedding was full of love, family-oriented and absolutely fun. The reception followed at Saint Vincent, in San Rafael where the guests dined and danced into the night. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Classy and sophisticated yet full of warm and fuzzy love moments. That’s how I’d describe the wedding of Donna and Karl, which I had the pleasure of shooting alongside Claudia Akers in Monterey this past month. The beach setting was simply breathtaking and Monterey was a perfect backdrop to beautiful wedding.

Candy & Dennis | St. Catherine’s Church Seattle WA | July 26 2008

I’ve known the bride Candy since high school, since she is one of my best friend’s little sister – therefore almost like my own little sister. It had been almost two years since I last saw her and I was honored that she and her hubby Dennis hired me to shoot her wedding, flying me in from California. The wedding was a sweet intimate affair and I truly felt like family. Congratulations, Candy & Dennis! Here are my  favorites from the day

July 20, 2008 |  Oakland Metropolitan Golf Links

On a fairly windy & cloudy day, I was honored to cover the events unfold as Ceasar and Maureen tied the knot at the Wedgewood Banquet Center at the Metropolitan Golf Links. This was the type of wedding that made me love my job.  The entire day was so full of love and laughter, from the preparations to the reception – it was smiles and jokes abound. Everyone had a grand ol’ time. Have fun in Bermuda!

Here’s the last of my June weddings. This time around, I helped out my good friend and colleague Kinsley Wong with the wedding coverage of Elaine and Datsun on a crisp summer June afternoon. The wedding ceremony was beautiful and serene but the fun broke out full-blast the reception at Ming’s Restaurant in Palo Alto. Everyone enjoyed the 10-course grand lauriat dinner (yum!). Here are some of my favorite captured moments from the day.
