The last weekend in March we photographed Karen and Tom's wedding in the South Bay. I don't even know where to begin with this one :) They were SO much fun and Lindsay and I had a blast photographing them! We started in Cupertino at the bride's mother's house and then went on to Sunnyvale for the Catholic ceremony. 
The reception followed in San Jose at The Ranch Golf Club. These two are truly meant for one another. It was great to hear their love story, which began over 20 years ago. Karen had a lot of nice "eighties" touches to celebrate how long the two of them have been dating on and (not-so) off through the years. I loved the display they had of old photos and the big-hair band videos that were playing on the monitors around the dance floor. The band was quite a trip as well- encouraging everyone out onto the dancefloor to some really old favorites. Karen's sister even coaxed the couple onto the dance floor for one last "toast," only she really had a surprise for them. Karen and Tom were soon surrounded by everyone holding up lighters- it was too funny.

I'm going to be backtracking here a bit. This past month or so has been insanely busy and I haven't posted anything! Let me start with a beautiful wedding I shot back in mid-March in Temecula, CA at the Falkner Winery. Toni and Mike are a really fun couple and I had an absolute blast photographing them at this incredible location.
Temecula is a bit south and east of Los Angeles. My second shooter Lindsay and I took the opportunity to do a bit of silly sight-seeing on the way back. Here I am in front of one of the most photographed structures in Hollywood- Funny how much this German tourist beside me (in the corner of the frame) looks like Lindsay Lohan!
