A week ago we had the privilege of shooting a beautiful wedding at the Shir Hadash Temple in Los Gatos. Leah and her bridesmaids were visibly excited from the time we first arrived at the Studio 360 salon. They were soo beautiful and full of pre-wedding jitters and laughing in anticipation.

We took the entire 14-person bridal party walking around in downtown Los Gatos and following a family photo stop at the local park, we arrived at the temple. Their memorable ceremony took place under the chupah outdoors and included a touching musical piece as well as many Jewish traditions.

On Memorial Day we shot a couple whose wedding took place just this weekend. We enjoyed our time creating fun photos and helping Christie and Bob to feel comfortable in front of the cameras. One of the reasons we LOVE these photo sessions and include them with most of our packages is that they help to connect us with the couples, to get to know each other. This always helps when the important day comes around.

This wedding took place at the Garre Vineyard & Winery last weekend in Livermore. We showed up early and had time to explore the great Hacienda-Style architecture of the Martinelli Event Center. The weather was sunny and we were fortunate that it wasn’t too hot.

The bridal party was calm upon their arrival but got more and more nervous towards the ceremony. When the time came, however, everyone looked simply radiant walking down the isle.

A week ago we had a chance to spend time and take casual portraits of Jessica and Erik. This fun couple picked Crissy Field in SF as their spot of choice. We had a blast enjoying the sun-soaked beach and later the beautiful sunset.

It got windy towards the end, and although Jessica was wearing a dress, she was a great sport. Their wedding is coming up in July and we’re VERY excited for them. A few of our favorite photos are below:
