August 30, 2008: Beth & Will

Beth and Will had a gorgeous wedding.. The church in down town San Jose was amazing, I had never been in there.. The reception was at the Sainte Claire Hotel, right down the street.. It was really crowded, but fun -- I had to shoot them through the mirror when they were cutting the cake! I got a lot more great pictures than I thought at first.. I'm happy...... I even got one of my favorite pictures in a long time, following...

August 23, 2008: Shannon & Russel

Fun wedding!! 

Great bride and groom, they were super fun. 

I felt really bad for Russel because it was so hot during their ceremony that he was getting really light headed! 

I felt bad taking pictures of him sweating bullets and being comforted by his mother, but he'll look back on it and laugh, that's the kind of great guy he is. 

Shannon's family owns a towing company so they had a tow truck photo op, and Barbie and Ken mini Shannon and Russel in a metal tow truck model. 

She also river dances, and there was couple surprise dances that her and some guests busted out. 

It was quite impressive! 

My favorite part was the photo booth they hired.... I want one in my house!

August 9, 2008: Taralynn and Kevan

Taralynn and Kevan's wedding was very, very nice. 

Taralynn looks like a glamour model from the 60's or something... she's super hot.

Very fun to shoot, obviously! 

They even had some Chinese dancers at their reception. 

Impressive, I know......

July 5, 2008: Cheryl & Brandon

Two months after the fact..... 

TADAAAA!!! 

Here is Cheryl and Brandon. 

They were super easy going and fun; 

Brandon, baseball fiend, threw a baseball instead of a garter. 

We had a good time with them......

June 25, 2008: Magee Kids

Roles changed when Jill assisted me on a portrait session with the Magee kids at the Felton covered bridge. 

We were top speed the whole time, just trying to keep up with the kids. 

They put us to the test with their high energy, so it made for a wild afternoon. 

It was really hard, and I couldn't have done it without Jill there to help.

May 24, 2008: Annie & John

Annie and John's wedding was a local Los Gatos wedding. 

At the church we weren't allowed to move or move up from the back at all, much less use flash. 

So I had to shoot from the balcony the whole time in ridiculously low light. 

But the pics came out pretty good. 

Reception was at Cinnabar, which is a nice golf resort. 

Annie is one of those girls who are funny and easy going, which made shooting them together entertaining.

John is a Judo master--seriously. 

By now he's probably already tried out for the Olympics in which he'd been training for. 

He's like a National Champion or something crazy like that. 

Don't wanna mess up a wedding like that (much less any wedding)!

May 17, 2008: Nancy & David

Nancy and David's wedding was at Nancy's parents house close to Corralitos in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

 It was a wonderfully pleasant setting close to a winery on beautiful property.

 Nancy's family is German to the max, so it was awesome to be around so many foreigners..... 

I love languages, and wished I could converse with them! 

Alas, I take the pictures. 

But I'd say they came out pretty kinda sorta ok.......

Catchup: April 6, 2008: Shelby & Joe

Shelby and Joe had their wedding in San Jose at the extravagant Saint Claire Hotel.

It was a good time to be had by all.

Joe is from Wales, and had some fun family come for the wedding, including his fun energetic dance-floor-owning Maj....

I was even one of several people to be molested by a drunk friend of the couple while on the dance floor.

March 29, 2008: Dawn & Kevin

Yesterday we shot a fun couple all over the east bay.

We started in the Berkeley Hills at the Brazil House, then went to a church of Christian Sciences, which I don't even know what that is, but the church is REALLY cool, then went to Treasure Island.

It was a long day filled with stressful driving (I always drive, and driving in the city SUCKS always!).

Kevin is a marine officer, so it was funny to see how he was restricted in his uniform and from the rules he had to follow. 

They were a great couple, and the reception on Treasure Island was a beautiful setting.... 

proven with following picture......

March 22, 2008: Jamie & Jeremy

Jamie and Jeremy were married in Tahoe (too bad we didn't shoot that), and were having a reception dinner with friends and family.

So it was short, but fun and easy to shoot.

The couple was pretty atypical; they wore black, had sweet tattoos, and a collection of piercings. 

They were super fun, and you could tell they were really happy together. 

They toasted with absinthe, which apparently has a little "mix with water and serve over sugar" ritual.

It was interesting......

(back to weddings...) Feb. 17, 2008: Tony & Jackie

Six days after I got back, along with getting sicker than I have been in years, I got right back into the flow of things.

One of Jill's best friends was getting married, and she wasn't about to shoot it all, since she wanted to have fun. 

So it was up to me to make it happen.

I think I made it happen.

Tony and Jackie are a bundle of fun, and their celebration exuded tons of it. 

Married in Sunnyvale at the Historical Del Monte Building, it was a one location, smooth-going shoot.

My boss, and her kids, are awesome..
