In real life, Aptos is foggy in the summer. In fairytales, the fog suddenly dissipates and the beautiful bride walks down the aisle under a beautiful blue sky. Thus the fairytale began for Amy and Doug as they were joined by their children Skylar, Kayla, and Kyle in the wedding party.
Here are Mitchia and Yao celebrating their wedding with a kaleidescope of images across Santa Cruz, from elegant buildings, through forested parks, and ending with a picturesque sunset at the beach.
Angela and John were married on August 3rd, joined together at the newly renovated Paul Masson Mountain Winery in the company of friends and family from several continents. The ladies of the wedding party were stunning, and the men were handsome (once they showed up.) The drinks flowed freely, the food tasted great, and the cake was lovely (once it showed up.) The toasts brought laughter and tears, and dance music from the 60's filled the air as the bridal party cut up the checkerboard dance floor. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
It was truly a fairytale wedding, complete with horse-drawn carriage, a harpist and a pair of doves released to signify the love, hope and joy of Miranda and Jose as they entered into holy matrimony. Mikayla led the way down the aisle, dropping rose petals along the way as Miranda made her entrance in the Cinderella carriage. Jose shifted effortlessly between the steely-eyed glare of a future police officer and the soft gaze of a loving husband, while Miranda was lovely and serene in her strapless gown and subtle tiara. The Hayes mansion made a wonderul backdrop for the event, with its elegant presence complimenting the mood of the day. Enhanced Lighting personalized the dance floor and filled the room with ambiance, including a wall covered in red hearts.
Congrats to Miranda and Jose Married August 2, 2008 at the Dolce Hayes Mansion in South San Jose.

"Awarded Photographer of the Year 2007 & 2008 by the Professional Photographers of Santa Clara Valley"
Good photography is about finding the right light along with creating interesting composition. This is a challenge for any photographer. This is also what makes a good photographer stand out. Throw in an artistic eye and 13 years of photoshop (graphic design) experience and you get unique and distinctive imagery. Or let's just say beautiful fine art wedding, family, travel & architectual photography. But I don't just limit myself to fine art I also enjoy the photo journalistic view that captures people in motion, or moments that just happen. This, along with
experience in architectural, product and travel photography.
I take my craft seriously and I must admit I love what I do, and what I can create, and it is truly a thrill every time I pick up a camera.
As my husband would say, I don't just take pictures I create images.
