Wedding in Vancouver

I was just excited to escape the 108-degree temperature in Roseville and fly out to Vancouver for a day and a half. It's the Vancouver, BC I am talking about! I know I should have taken more time off, but the schedule didn't allow me to do so. My cousin in Seattle finally tied the knot with his beautiful bride Lama last weekend. I had the opportunity to be at their wedding, this time as a guest. The weather was unbelievable (if you consider the heat I left behind in Sac!). We actually flew to Seattle and then drove up to BC.

It was a perfect wedding, the food was great, the people there were beautiful and everyone rocked the party at the end. It was an American-Middle Eastern extravaganza. I loved the mixture of cultures, it sort of brought the memory back from my own wedding. As I mentioned I was there as a guest, so found a good spot to sit and took only a few snaps for the B&G.

There was even a performance by the friends, it was a traditional Punjabi dance, only for the bride and groom.

Anne + Jamie || Wedding

He is Canadian, She grew up in Placerville, CA. He is ruggedly handsome and She is drop-dead gorgeous. Both of them are smart, funny and have charming personalities. Together they look like models from a wedding magazine's cover page! People travelled from all over the continent, as well as from Europe to attend their wedding. They are Anne and Jamie, these are just a few images from their wedding day.

Watch their wedding slideshow here.

The wedding took place at the American River Resort in Coloma, CA. It was freezing cold there in December when I met Anne and Jamie for our initial meeting. But, last weekend was simply beautiful for their wedding.

A couple ring shots...
Isn't she gorgeous! Their cake was made by Anne's mom!
This is one of my favorite shots from the night.

Everything came together perfectly for their wedding. It was a beautiful day, I had a ton of fun shooting with them. My best wishes to Anne and Jamie for the begining of their brand new life together!

Coming soon...

Sophia + David :: second shoot

Couple weekends ago I had the opportunity to second shoot with awesome photographer friend Doug Miranda on David and Sophia's wedding at Oakland/Los Altos, CA. It was a lot of fun going out and shoot with Doug again. Last year I second shot with so many weddings, with so many fellow photographers. I find it to be an enjoyable learning experience. Here are some images I took that day.

Marie + Justin || Wedding

When I first spoke to Justin on phone about his wedding, I thought that he might be of the sweetest grooms I would ever meet. He proved me right on his wedding day. When he saw Marie walking down the aisle, Justin couldn't hold back his tear. He had to look away for a moment to bring him back to the present. It was a magical moment! And why wouldn't it be? Marie looked amazingly beautiful on their wedding day. A man, so in love with her, was sure to melt away at that first look of her!

Justin and Marie were only engaged for a month or so before they started wedding planning. They pretty much had a month to pull everything together and they did a great job. Red and Black theme was a perfect match for the couple. I loved Marie's hairstyle and the hair pieces she was wearing. And the black sashe on her dress added that extra glam to the over all look. The wedding took place at the Sierra View Country Club. Thankfully, it was a clear day, so we were able to go out to the 18th hole for some fun shots.

I am so excited for Justin and Marie to start their adventure together! They make a beautiful couple and I know that they have a lot in store for each other. I wish them all the happiness for their journey ahead.

Thanks to Jen of Jen Stewart Photography for connecting me to this beautiful couple.
