It’s been a busy summer for us and we’ve had the pleasure to capture weddings at many beautiful venues. Danielle and Lance got married at a setting we haven’t shot at before and we were really excited to check this place out. The Union Hill Inn is in Sonora and it’s such a beautiful, relaxed venue that it blew our socks off! There’s a reason it’s in-demand and known to be booked a few years out.
Lance is a San Mateo firefighter and we met him and Danielle when we photographed another firefighter’s wedding back in 2009. (You can check out Nino and Jen’s photos here.) As we got to know them better, we just knew these guys will also be a great fit for our style of photography. It was truly a blessing to be a part of their day.
Our focus at Choco Studio in everything we do is to allow couples to feel relaxed so they can comfortably express their emotions. This happened naturally with Danielle and Lance and it was so heartwarming to witness their deep connection.
Here’s a preview to this beautiful day:

Danielle and Lance’s first look was chock full of emotions.
Danielle’s very special wedding present to Lance was a rare original San Mateo fire helmet from the 1800’s.
How about this chapel for their ceremony? We were blown away by the beauty.
It was fun to catch a shot of Jen and Nino as they sped away in the golf cart :)
We LOVE nighttime portraits and it’s so much fun to get creative.
Congratulations to Danielle and Lance! Your day was so beautiful.
