Palm events center wedding

Palm events center wedding

There are so many beautiful locations that have sprung up in the Livermore area over the last few years
and this past  year I think we photographed about 15-20 weddings in the surrounding Livermore area.
Once location that we were able to shoot 3 times this past year was the Palm Events center, which is such a great place to get married at.  They have a wonderful brick building and a really cool wine barrel room, lots of very cool places to shoot at and have your wedding at.  Here is one of our weddings from the Palm Events Center.

Cypress Hotel Wedding Photo

Post Production

When I work on my wedding images after the wedding the post production of the image is normally done just like I would have in the darkroom back in the day. I will spend a lot of time toning images to give them a very specific feeling or burning and dodging images. Here is a image I was working on today and really wanted a different more graphic feel to it. I really like all of the lines in the city background so made the image more into a line art piece. Let me know what you think:

Here is the image as I first envisioned it, a little bit desaturated and with a bit of a glow to the image:



and here is a little different version:



Everyone have a great week!

Bay Area Wedding Photography Update

Last weekend

Last weekend was such a fun weekend of weddings, I have been so busy catching up this past week that I didn't have anytime to post about our past weekend so here is a brief run down.  Once I have more time I will post some images:

Friday we photographed Valerie and Josh's wedding at the Decathalon Club in San Jose.  They are such a fun couple, I was able to shoot 2 engagement shoots with them over the past year so when the wedding date came along it was so easy to photograph them (They had a very beautiful, elegant wedding) it was a great way to start the weekend off.

Saturday I was at David and Lauras wedding in downtown San Jose.  They had a beautiful church ceremony at St. Josephs and then the reception at the St. Claire.  I haven't been to the St. Claire in awhile since they renovated the courtyard and it was really nice.  David and Laura I think had the best first dance I have seen in awhile, David broke into a little Michael Jackson routine halfway through and it was great, they both put on a good show!
Joey was over in Santa Cruz on Saturday at the Chaminade for Amanda and Scotts wedding.  It looks like it was a fun wedding with lots of cool Disney themed things at the reception.

And we ended the weekend up in Oakland for Trang and Rons wedding.  They had a nice tea ceremony in the morning at a nice downtown hotel and then another ceremony and reception at the Dunsmuir House.  They had an awesome band at the reception that kept everyone dancing.  It was a wonderful wedding and a great way to end the weekend.

Monday I did have to sleep in a little bit and then all week have been back at the editing station, cranking away at weddings and albums.

Once I get caught up this week I will post more details and photos.

Gilroy Gardens Wedding photos

Andrew and Sarah

This wedding was so fun and unique.  It was the first time I shot a wedding at bonfonte gardens (actually gilroy gardens now) and it is really a great place to get married.  Inside the park they have a very seculed place to have your reception so you don't even know you are in the park, it's quiet and surrounded by trees and greenery.   And then the cool thing is if you want to take some photos in the park and have fun you can, they will even let you ride on the rides.  Here are a few shots from their day, congratulations guys!!!

We started the day off playing a few games with the guys and riding the roller coaster:














Here are a few shots of the beautiful bride before the wedding:







Here is Andrew as he got his first glimpse of Sarah walking down the Aisle:






and the awesome site for the ceremony:




Afterwards we were able to get Sarah and Andrew on one of the cars to take a little ride:







and then the whole bridal party on the merry go round:







Sarah really likes waterfalls and  Bonfonte has a bunch, so we stopped on one right before
the reception started:






The reception site is really nice with lots of trees and flowers surrounding you, here are some
shots of the reception:










At the end of the night we setup a few lights to capture some shots that I really liked.
