Min and Esther - Hotel Sofitel, Pacific Athletic Club, Redwood Shores, CA

This wedding's a bit overdue but I wanted to share highlights of Min and Esther's amazing wedding at the Pacific Athletic Club. I loved photographing every aspect of it - from the getting ready to the final dance, I had such a great time! I actually had not met Min and Esther until their rehearsal but being the easy going couple that they were, we got into our flow working with each other right from the start. Plus with a bridal party ready to dive in at a moment's notice, it made for an awesome day. Congrats again Min and and Esther!

Glenn and Robyn - Allied Arts Guild, Asian Pearl Restaurant, Menlo Park, CA

It was a beautiful and sunny day when Glenn and Robyn got married at the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park. Luckily for them, the ceremony site had a huge tree that offered just enough shade in the noon sun to keep them comfortable. While the ceremony and afternoon reception were held at the Guild, the dining and dancing was at Asian Pearl Restaurant in Fremont. And boy was there dancing... I'm pretty sure no one even noticed that the wait staff at the restaurant had already wiped down and folded up the last remaining tables by the time the last song was played!

Paul and Monica - Mission Santa Clara, Hakone Gardens, Santa Clara, CA

So let me just start by saying that any couple that gets introduced to Weezer's "Dope Nose" is pretty darn cool in my book :) Having said that, Paul and Monica were also super sweet and based on the guests' reactions throughout the day, I could tell that they were very well loved by their family and friends. This wedding really did have everything - From the church service and the Korean Paebaek ceremony to the outdoor reception at Hakone Gardens, the couple blended tradition with modern flair. And of course, they both injected their own styles into the evening... I say a little Weezer and Bob Marley should be played at every wedding! Congrats again Paul and Monica! I feel so privileged to have been there!
