We had another really great wedding out at Leal Vineyards recently for Sam and Chrystals wedding. From the cutest ring bearer “chancho” to the candy bar filled with sweet treats it was a fun day with a really great group of family and friends. Here is a quick view of some of the highlights of their day!

I really can’t get enough of photographing weddings and especially when I have such great clients. It really is amazing to be around couples that truly care and love each other. When you can feel it right when you meet them you know its real. Natalie and Matt’s wedding in Carmel Valley was just a perfect day, they are such a cute couple together and super sweet. You can tell that they have a love for each other that is real and strong. Congrats guys and thanks for having me as a part of your wonderful day!

Here is a quick little peek at some of the highlights of their wedding in Carmel.

We had an awesome wedding last month for Janice and John at the Sunol Valley Golf Course. It was also great to see some of our past clients there, I photographed one of Johns groomsmen’s wedding (Brian and Keri at Leal Vineyards) and then another one of their friends (Christina and Ricardo) so this was the 3rd wedding with this group of friends. They are a fun group of people and this wedding was no exception. Lots of great times and some good chair dancing that was a perfect end to the night. Check out this quick highlight slideshow! Congrats John and Janice your wedding tuned out awesome!

One thing that I have been excited about for awhile is the blending of HD video and still into a cool multimedia piece that I have been calling “Reel Life”. It can add so much more depth to a wedding to include a few snippets of video and audio to bring back the memories of the day. Here is a quick preview of Ryan and Jeanette’s day at Leal vineyards, such a beautiful wedding!

I had a fun engagement session last month with Sam and Chrystal going around Downtown Los Gatos. They brought their dog which was really great to include in some of the images and we got to walk around and explore some cool spots around Los Gatos. I always love photographing around that area and end up finding some cool new spots every time. I can’t wait for their wedding coming up soon!
