Casa Real Wedding Photos | Wedding Slideshow

 

Our last wedding of the 2008 wedding season went off with a bang! We had a chance to photograph Yeni and Francis’ wedding reception at the brand new Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery in Pleasanton. Following the bridal preparations and a traditional tea ceremony, we travelled to Casa Real to take photos of the bridal party as well as the bride and groom.

Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery is a wedding venue that was finished just this year. We were so excited to photograph there because this winery was built specifically with weddings and special events in mind + we heard so much about it! The Mediterranean style architecture of the building itself, as well as the nearby vineyards lended themselves incredibly well as the backdrop for a festive and fun celebration.

Some of our favorite photos are below followed by a wedding slideshow at the end:

We started our photo shoot right in the middle of the day prior to the ceremony. Harsh direct mid-afternoon sun is usually not an ideal setting for photographs, but we were able to use it to our advantage and to get this beautiful flare:

And here as well:

Yeni looked absolutely gorgeous and the huge pink peony bouquet complemented her dress beautifully:

We loved, loved shooting at Casa Real! It looks like a gorgeous Mediterranean villa and just glows at twilight.

Peonies must be my absolutely favorite flowers. Huge pink peonies were everywhere at this wedding – from Yeni’s bouquet to the cake and centerpieces – and they looked gorgeous!

The rings. Yeni and Francis had decorated the venue with bowl of fragrant spices which were placed throughout the reception room. We took this opportunity to create a fun ring shot in a bowl of anise:

Congratulations to you, Yeni and Francis!!! We wish you many, many years of happy life together.
