Linh & Jerome’s wedding in Camarillo, California was nothing short of a fairy tale! They started the day in a beautiful beach house in Camarillo, California with lots of sunshine and fine sand. Linh wore a gorgeous coral fashion forward chinese dress through the traditional (fun!) groom games and during the tea ceremony. I love the emerald green bridesmaid dresses and the succulent, peonie and rose bouquets which elegantly mixed greens and corals. Jerome had a really cute wooden card in store for her!

We went out and about for gorgeous couple-only photographs… amazing light everywhere! I love love love the tree we found on our way to the wedding ceremony and reception location! The ceremony & reception were held in the amazing location that is Tropical Paradise in Camarillo, California. It was gorgeous everywhere you looked – from the beautiful sign and centerpieces with fresh herbs, to the wedding cake, to the sushi bar – so many things to admire! Love was definitely in the air…. congratulations Linh & Jerome!

Tara and Sean had a wonderful wine country themed wedding at the California Golf Club in South San Francisco! The California Gold Club offers amazing grounds and views wherever you turn. When you first come in, you are greeted by wonderful rows of trees and a grand entrance. The building presents itself with elegance and grace, and you have to love the welcoming fountain in front!

There are accessible grounds in front and back of the building. For Tara and Sean’s wedding, we even had access to golf carts to roam around and pick our favorite views! That allowed both the bride and groom to take photos with their parties before the wedding without risking their significant other – or the guests – to see them before the ceremony!
The ceremony can be held outdoors or indoors. Tara and Sean were very fortunate to have lovely weather for their ceremony, so they enjoyed a very elegant outdoor wedding overlooking the green fields and trees as far as the eye could see!
After the ceremony the guests enjoyed an open bar with drinks outdoors and indoors. The bar area is situated to the left of the entrance, while the reception area is separated to the right, so that the cocktail hour can happen right next to the reception area, but guests can mingle, talk, take photos at the photobooth that was made available to them, and have fun! This relaxing time gave the bride and groom plenty of time to escape and take beautiful formal shots without being interrupted. A little quiet time after the “I dos” is very precious

I love inspiration boards! This one, strong in passion with contrast of reds and blacks, showcases a wonderful venue: the San Jose Rotunda, aka San Jose City Hall. The city hall is incredibly photogenic and offers angles upon angles. The event center charges many of its services by the hour, but you have the option to just do the ceremony there or hold the reception in this gorgeous, modern building there as well.
