wedding Saint Seraphim Greek Orthodox Church Santa Rosa

Debbie and Mike got married at the Saint Seraphim Orthodox Church, a Greek Orthodox Church in Santa Rosa. Their wedding reception was at the Fountain Grove Inn, also in Santa Rosa.

A few things stand out for me in this wedding. One, the Greek Orthodox Church was gorgeous (you will see below). Two, the bride’s dress was lavender, or maybe purple. And three, there was a moment during the wedding ceremony when the best man and the maid of honor had to hold crowns above the bride and groom’s heads. This lasted for at least 20 minutes. It looked painful, holding the crowns for so long. There was a receiving line after the ceremony, and every person there joked about it with them.

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.

Bride and Groom Formal Portrait under Oak Hahn Estates in Soledad Black and white

Yesterday, I got a photo order from Maria and Adam. I hadn’t thought of their wedding in a few months, and the photo order was a nice reminder. I especially like the black and white shot of them under the Oak Tree. Something about it seems so eternal.

They got married at the Hahn Estates in Soledad, a Vineyard.

bride, groom behind sepia Portals of The Past Golden Gate Park

Nichola and Kyle got married in Golden Gate Park at the Portals of The Past.

It was just a little. The two of them, a minister, and me and my video guy.

When they ordered their prints, they wanted a lot of sepia, which was a nice treat for me.

Cover of Magazine style album shot of Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose

Ayumi and Masahiko, a Japanese American couple, had a lovely wedding at the Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose.

I produced a flush mount magazine style album for them.

Instead of showing you a few of my favorite photos, I’m going to show the album.

The album is also available as a slideshow.
