Formal Photo of Bride, groom in background. Los Gatos wedding

Wedding Photography from the Los Gatos Hotel and Spa.

The first interesting thing about the wedding of Reisa and Nino. Nino is from Bosnia-Hercegovina. I did some travel photography there in 2000. If you go to my travel photography gallery page 2 and look at the third photo you see this.Photo of a bombed building in Bosnia.

The bride and groom were doing just that, when they saw the photo, and the groom is like “I used to live across the street from that building!” They hired me on the spot.

They got married at a private home is Los Gatos, with a reception at the Los Gatos Hotel and Spa.

Bride Groom Kiss. Starburst. Reception International House UC Berkeley.

Sarah and Danial got married at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens with a reception at the UC Berkeley International House.

If you haven’t been to the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens, I suggest you go. It has beautiful botanical samples from all over the world. It is also a great place for a wedding. You can have a ceremony in the Old Rose Garden, the way Sarah and Danial did, or there is a redwood grove. (I’ll get around to posting ceremony photos from the redwood grove eventually.)

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 on balcony of Chateau Du Sureau and Erna's Elderberry House wedding photos

Nadine and Stephen got married last winter at the amazing Chateau Du Sureau and Erna’s Elderberry House in Oakhurst California. (Oakhurst is 1/2 way between Fresno and Yosemite)

Chateau Du Sureau is exquisitely beautiful, and I’ve been told that Erna’s Elderberry House is one of the few 5 star restaurants in the country.
