I love the energy that surrounds this couple… Teresa and Jared are so much fun, full of laughter, love and surrounded by a wonderful group of friends and family. It was such a pleasure to photograph their wedding at The Mountain Terrace in Woodside. If you haven’t seen that venue, you should check it out. It sits on the skyline ridge and has views of the valley, towering redwoods, and a charming ambiance.

Back to Teresa and Jared… this is one of those weddings where I am sad it is over. I have looked forward to it for a year, knowing what a great couple these two are and what a good time their wedding would be. They both just make everyone around them feel so special- it was an honor to witness and document. They really made my job easy!

Teresa and Jared opted not to have a traditional cake and instead served up cookies and milk for all of their guest… LOVE.

The gorgeous Casa Real in Livermore was the venue for the beautiful spring wedding of Marian and Marco. This sweet couple first met at a mutual friend’s birthday party. Although they noticed each other, they didn’t speak again until their friend’s birthday the following year! Marco had been thinking about Marian and was delighted to discover she would be attending the party. As fate would have it, when Marian arrived fashionably late, and the only seat left at the dinner table was next to Marco. Magic ensued and later that night, Marco asked Marian to if she would like to spend every Friday night together going forward. You know what? They have!

These lovebirds chose to have a first look- which I love! They got to admire eachother before the ceremony and get some of the pre-wedding jitters out. When it came time for the ceremony, emotions still ran high as Marian walked down the aisle.

Nature Friends in the Oakland Hills was the venue for this lovely wedding. Rena and her groom, Gary did many things themselves in preperation for this celebration including designing and making the cufflinks, hanging banners, setting tables, and putting together her own bouquet with friends shortly before the ceremony. Rena even designed her own wedding gown which was absolutely stunning. The little jacket Rena put on as the evening wore on? Rena embelished it herself. Headpiece? Done by Rena!

The ceremony site, flanked by huge eucalyptus trees, overlooked the bay and a wonderous oak tree provided an outdoor room for the dinner reception. After dining on a delicious feast, the guests were treated to two Tango performances by Rena and Gary. It was so special to be a part of this wonderous day, enjoy the images!

Kari and Chris chose a beautiful venue in Woodside called The Mountain Terrace for their wedding. Sitting on the Skyline Ridge, The Mountain Terrace is studded with oaks, surrounded by towering redwood trees, and has beautiful view. It was a gorgeous spot for these two to get married. From the first look on the swing hanging from a magestic oak to an uber delicious meal prepared by The Other Woman, this event was perfection thanks to the stylish eye and warm heart of their wedding planner Tara Hamilton of Sula Events.
