Erica & Rudy - Carmel Mission & Pebble Beach Wedding-photography

The day began in the splendor of the historic Carmel Mission where Erica and Rudy were wed under the watchful eyes of the Saints. It ended in a different splendor – in a stunning room at the Inn at Spanish Bay. Even more stunning was the bride, in her silk gown with a criss-crossing back. Hector Villalobos, the father of the bride, beamed with pride as he spoke of the couple, the families and the joy of welcoming Rudy to the family as the third of ‘My Three Sons’.

Amy & Doug - Seascape Resort Aptos Photography

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.

Angela & John- Wedding Photography Saratoga-Mountain Winery

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!

Miranda & Jose- Wedding Photography Dolce Hayes Mansion, San Jose

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.
