Alison and David had somewhat of a destination wedding right here in Northern California. The couple currently lives in Los Angeles, but decided to get married at the beautiful Brazilian Room in the Berkeley hills. We heard a lot of great things about this venue and it was exciting for us to be there. The building is a part of the Tilden Regional Park and the nature setting was truly an amazing spot for the couple’s ceremony and reception.

Alison and David’s open air Brazilian Room ceremony included beautiful harp music, tears, and much happiness shared:

The reception was inside the building and had many highlights including hilarious toasts and a delicious desert buffet instead of a wedding cake:

We are sooo, very happy for you, Alison and David!! You’re beautiful people and we wish you all the best in your journey together :)

Hui Hui and Wing’s wonderful day started at the Marriott hotel in San Mateo. Wing and the guys were pretty much all ready while the girls needed a few more moments of preparation. The hotel itself proved to be a great setting for many of the photographs. The lobby as well as a fireplace area was full of cool furniture, decorations, and even some nice window light.

We took a drive down to San Mateo’s Central Park and had a great time walking around finding all the great backgrounds for the bridal party portraits. Later, we found ourselves grabbing some Jamba Juice and it’s always a thrill to be walking around downtown in the company of a bride and groom. Hui Hui and Wing’s entire bridal party was a blast.

Quick stop for Jamba Juice!

The ceremony took place in the courtyard of the Marriott and the wedding proceeded to Ming’s Chinese Cuisine restaurant in Palo Alto.

The reception was equally exciting and there were just tons of fun and memorable moments to be captured:

Congratulations to Hui Hui and Wing!! We were so happy to share your day with you.

The engagement session photos can be seen here!

David and Olga were such a fun and easy couple to photograph. They chose the Rose Garden in San Jose for their enagement photo session and the four of us had an awesome time together.

David and Olga’s wedding is coming up in just over a month from now and we’re really looking forward to it!
