Congrats Michael and Annmarie for a perfect wedding day from start to finish.  You guys are such a sweet couple and I can tell you will have a lifetime of awesome times ahead.  What a very spectacular day, even with the heat (it was over 100 degrees this day) you would have never know it, everyone had a great time and a huge smile on their face all day long.    We got to shoot at some of our favorite places all in one day which was just amazing, the day started out at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga where Annmarie and the girls got ready in the bridal room.  Annmarie had the most amazing veil, words can’t describe it you have to see the slideshow below.  The ceremony was at the Villa at the Oval gardens.  It was great to work with Kathleen and her crew who always put together a flawless event.  After the ceremony we had some good time with Michael and Annmarie to walk around some of the grounds at the Villa for photos and family pictures.

The reception was at the St. Claire hotel in downtown San Jose (which is where Annmaries parents were also married) and Hilary out there did a great job making sure every detail was attended to and went according to plan.

We got to shoot at some great places but the people are who always make a great wedding.  Both families were great to work with on the day and they really had the “A” team of event professionals working the day.

Here are some of the people who helped make the day great:

Wedding Coordinator:  Amazáe Special Events – Agnes

Video:  A Video Reflection – David and crew

DJ:  Los Gatos DJ – Cassie and Dan

Congrats again guys!!! Here is the slideshow:

What happens when you have a really sweet couple and find some awesome light … Magic happens  I had an engagement shoot a few weeks back and it was such a fun shoot.  The couple is so in love and just great to work with and I found some cool light around Hakone that just made for some romantic, magical images!  Here are a few from the session:
