Testarossa winery in Los Gatos is one of the famous wedding venues in the bay area. Fortunately, I had a chance to shoot Emily and Ralf's wedding in this beautiful venue. We started out day at Emily's house for getting ready pictures, then we went to downtown Los Gatos to captured some fun moments for the entire wedding party. Then we arrived Testarossa winery early for some romantic shots. Near sunset, ceremony started in the famous cave in the winery. Emily and Ralf also performed a very special first dance in front of us during the reception which was the highlight of the day. I also created an instant slideshow to show the same day wedding day pictures to the guests, I hope everyone enjoyed the party as I did. Congratulations again to Emily and Ralf!!!
Jenin & Rich is getting married in the coming January and we went to Marin Headland for their engagement. That was my first time shooting engagement session at this location, we had to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and waited 5 minutes to pass the one way tunnel. Once we passed the tunnel, we saw old ranch buildings, land fields, and many other different spots for pictures. We were all excited and spent a hour there. Afterward, we headed back to downtown San Francisco and captured few images with the green balloons. Jenin & Rich loved the balloon idea for the engagement session and I hope they love how I captured the moments for them.
Betty and Kin tied their knots over at Crystal Springs Course Golf in Burlingame, and it was a sunny day with almost 100 degree. When I prepared my equipments for this wedding shoot, I also packed sunblock, an golf umbrella, ice bag, water, and extra shirt along with my camera. I was worried about to use the umbrella during the group pictures session after the ceremony, but my worries were gone once I arrived to the location - because most of the guests were prepared their own umbrellas! Yay! Congratulations to Betty and Kin again!
My good friend Amy from Amy's Wedding & Events asked me to shoot some images of Julie and Tate's wedding for her portfolio, sure! This gorgeous wedding was held at Pacific Oaks Vineyard Estates in Santa Cruz and this was my first time shooting at this beautiful venue. Under Amy's well prepared planning of the event, everything ran smoothly. Jolie and Tate had no worry about anything and enjoyed their wedding. They just needed to yell "Amy, I have a question..." or "Amy, I want this and I want that..." Moreover, the owner of the estate was helpful and friendly, and she put my wedding highlight slideshow on the website as well! Here are several beautiful images just want to share with you.
