Knowing that they’re big fans and season ticket holders, I even went as far as calling them in to the shoot a little early so we wouldn’t miss the opportunity.  I don’t think we were technically allowed to be there, but sometimes it’s best to live by “It’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.” On to the images!

This one is my fav.  Totally epic!

This is a close second:

Luckily we were not arrested. I’m such a rebel.

A little element of “self portrait” in this one.

Malarie and I had a great time getting to know you both!  We’re looking forward to the wedding at Murrieta’s Well in Sept!

We first met Ha and Sy at Tuyet and Duy’s wedding back in June, and they booked us for their wedding this upcoming June! It was an absolutely glorious day for a November weekend, as perfect as it gets.

OK on to the images!

Fun with long shadows…

This shot at the Campanile is totally epic. Love it.

I was digging the light in the next two:

This was a fun shot to make:

I really like the feel of this one:

There’s a huge grid of headshots setup on campus that we just had to play with a bit:

Thanks for hanging out with us you two, we really enjoyed our time together! Looking forward to your wedding this June!

The Claremont, looking as stately as ever:

Fun with mirrors and great window light during the getting ready:

Jessica!

Stephen!

We set up a “first sight” moment which I always love due to the range of emotions I get to capture.

I thought this was hilarious! Stephen checking out Jessica in her fab gown while she models for him:

I was digging the Fall colors in the background for the portraits:

The smallest of the flowergirls was a bit hesitant to go down the aisle when her turn came up. Mom encouraged her at the other side, and she made a break for it! The crowd went wild, cameras in tow:

I lucked out, with someone leaving this door open during the ceremony:

Married! The bubbles were fun:

I always love the birdcage veils:

The rings with some of the rustic details:

I liked this little look during the toasts:

A joyful first dance:

Hora! My fav!

Some action on the dance floor:

Congrats to Jessica and Stephen! Thanks for sharing your day with us!
