Fred and Nga - Nestldown Wedding, Los Gatos, CA

With sunny skies the entire day, Fred and Nga's wedding at Nestldown was absolutely gorgeous! I was honored to be their photographer having known the couple for quite some time. We actually did a few engagement sessions beforehand which helped them to be completely comfortable in front of the camera on the big day. After the wedding at Nestldown, we managed to take a few shots in downtown Los Gatos before heading to Mayflower restaurant in Milpitas for their tea ceremony and reception. Even though their day started before 6AM and ended close to midnight, it was all smiles and laughter the whole time!

Special thanks to Dennis Hu for capturing the above image and for second shooting with me the whole day!

While in downtown Los Gatos, we stumbled upon this school bus in front of the high school whose driver happened to be there. Seeing our lovely bridal party, he was more than happy to let us use it for a few shots! Thanks Mr. Bus Driver!

Drew and Lisa - Nestldown Wedding, Los Gatos, CA

This wedding was especially meaningful to me as it was my sister's! As a guest this time, I played the "relative with the camera in everyone's face" role... so of course, I still captured a few photos of the day. The setting at Nestldown was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. The entire event couldn't have gone more smoothly and was such a blast! From the mini wedding cakes to the community cookie bar (a Pittsburgh tradition brought to the West Coast), all of the creativity the couple put into the wedding made it completely their own. Congrats to Drew and Lisa on your big day!

Love this spread... little wedding cakes inspired by the Wayne Thiebaud painting, "Cakes"

The Cookie Bar! Guests were invited to bake a batch of cookies for everyone to enjoy! Such a great idea! And so many cookies to try! Every time a plate would empty, a new variety of cookie would be brought out!

Leave it to the scientists to have "science-themed" cookies as part of the cookie bar!
