St. Claire Hotel wedding photos

St. Claire Hotel wedding

St. Claire wedding photography by Stagi Imagery, http://www.wedclix.com

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 was such a beautiful day and a great wedding.

Booked and catered exclusively by Garré Winery.

Thanks to all my wonderful clients

Thanks to all my wonderful clients

Shooting weddings is such a gratifying thing.  You get to be with the bride and groom and their family all day long and experience they day as if you were a family member.  Always at the end of the day you feel so close to the family since you are such a huge part of capturing their day.  I always put so much of myself into my work and strive to capture amazing images of my clients days.  After the wedding it feels so good to have the bride shed a tear when viewing her images for the first time, I know I  did my job right when that happens.
Or to hear confirmation from my clients that they love my images as much as I do, that just feels so good.

Here are a couple of comments from my brides, that were emailed to our online host pictage.com
-----------------
I can't say enough about Mark (Stagi Imagery). He has a way of taking pictures that captures the personalities of his clients. His work with color is amazing and his artistic touches make your photos very unique. On top of that, he was quick to respond to any questions I had and got our wedding pictures to us within a few weeks. Not only does he blend in with the crowd, but he loves what he does and that comes through in his work. Mark and his assistant were a joy to work with and I highly recommend him as a wedding photographer (though I'm sure does great portraits as well) :
-----------------
If you are looking for a GREAT photographer that captures every moment of your special day Mark Stagi is your man! His work truly unfolds like a story from beginning to end. His work fits the old cliche of "A picture is worth a thousand words" Thank you Mark =)
-----------------
Mark is amazing - his pictures capture feeling as well as static images. He is a great guy to work with and we're SO excited to have him photograph our wedding!

THANK YOU to all of my great clients for having me as a part of your wonderful day!!!

Dan and Daniellas wedding day

Congrats to Dann and Daniela who were married last weekend in Aptos!
You guys are such a great couple and I was honored to be a part of your day.

One part of the wedding day that is always such an amazing part to witness is right after
the ceremony ends and the quick moment that the bride and groom  have alone.  Dann and Daniella
were just glowing as they exited the church and embraced each other.  It was so wonderful
to see the radiance coming from the two of them, they are a really cute couple.

Here are a few of the images from right after the ceremony:
