No. 246 – Nicole and Brandon

On Saturday we wrapped up our double-header weekend by traveling to San Jose for Nicole and Brandon’s elegant wedding. Our day started at the Fairmont Hotel as we captured all of the hustle and bustle as the two college sweethearts got ready for their big day. We then traveled to St. Francis Cabrini Church for their Catholic ceremony. After the ceremony, the couple traveled in style (a Vintage car) to the gorgeous Corinthian Event Center in downtown San Jose. The venue was stunning and with all the attention to detail that Nicole put into the decor, it was spectacular! The happy couple is headed off to a two-week long Thailand honeymoon and we will get to work putting together a video they can cherish forever. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at their ceremony:


No. 245 – Zayra and Mike

On Friday we kicked off our double-header weekend by shooting Zayra and Mike’s wedding at Arden Hills. After 8 years of being together and two beautiful children later, Zayra and Mike decided to make it official in front of their family and friends at Arden Hills’ Courtyard ceremony site. Their ceremony featured their son carrying the rings in a briefcase (secret service style) and it ended with a rendition of “All you need is love” courtesy of the officiant and their bridal party. This couple definitely doesn’t like to be ordinary, so at the reception, guests were treated to the couples’ choreographed first dance mash-up as well as the groom standing on the head table to profess his love and thanks. All in all, the day was perfect for this super nice couple and they got some gorgeous photos thanks to the picturesque grounds at Arden Hills and the expertise of their photographer — Sam from Sharpe Photography (www.sharpephotographers.com). He’s one of our favorite photographers to work with! We’re headed off to shoot our next wedding, but in the meantime, enjoy this clip from their ceremony:


No. 244 – Tova and Reef

Yesterday we headed to Valley Hi Country Club in Elk Grove, CA to celebrate with Tova and Reef as they expressed their love for each other in front of all of their family and friends. Their lakeside ceremony was both touching and humorous, which fit this couples’ personality perfectly. Rev. Jeri Murphy (www.revjerimurphy.com) did an outstanding job as usual and we also got to work with a photographer that we love — Huy Phan (www.huyphan.com). At the reception, guests were treated to a photo booth and a delicious dessert bar featuring cookies, tarts, mini cakes, and more. These two also entertained their guests with their dancing skills, which made for some great footage for their video. We can’t wait to share the video with this super nice couple, but in the meantime here’s a look at their ceremony:


No. 243 – Katrina and Sergio

On Saturday we headed to Lake Natoma Inn to celebrate with Katrina and Sergio as they made their relationship official. Their ceremony took place at Lake Natoma’s gazebo and was officiated by Katrina’s brother who got ordained specifically for the occasion. The reception at the Grand Pavilion featured a photo booth and a lot of dancing! Having a video of their big day was super important to this couple, because we were one of the first vendors they booked when they started planning their wedding. So the pressure is on for us to give them a video that showcases their day from beginning to end. We can’t wait for them to see the final product, but in the meantime, here’s a sneak peek at their ceremony:
