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:

We had such a wonderful wedding awhile back at the St. Claire hotel downtown San Jose and I never had time to post more than just a few images. Such a great bride and groom, they were so cute together and just great to work with. Every time I looked over at the bride during the day she was just glowing and always had such a awesome big smile on her face! The St. Claire was a perfect venue for their wedding, it was classic and elegant and was such an intimate day with their family and friends. Here are some of my favorite images from the day:

This past weekend was our first back to back wedding weekend of the year and it was great! We had two awesome weddings and will share more about them soon. Congrats to Joe and Deb who were married at the Willow Heights Mansion on Saturday and Andres and Lisha who were married at the St. Claire Hotel on Sunday. Both weddings were great and I can’t wait to share some images soon! This will be a busy week of editing for us with some albums to finish up and starting the editing for these weddings but well have some fun blog posts along the way.
