Cake fight cake cutting bride and groom wedding Reception Oakhurst Country Club in Clayton California

Julianne and Bret got married at the Mormon Temple in Oakland on a rainy day in February.

Weddings at the LDS temple are private. The guests and the photographer (me) wait for the bride and groom to come out. Mormon temples are gorgeous, so we always get a lot of photos in front of and around the temple.

After shooting at the temple, we went to the Oakhurst Country Club in Clayton, where we looked for spots that were covered from the rain but still had nice backgrounds for photos, before moving on to the photojournalistic shots of the reception.

Today, I was on a photo safari, and went to Oakland’s Chapel of the Chimes.

I’ve been in the doorway before, but this is the first time I explored the place as a photographer. I could have spent all month there. All in ages shot in RAW. Adjustments were made in contrast, color, saturation. These photos are meant to represent how I saw and experienced the chapel more than how you would see it if you went yourself.
