Oakland The Cathedral of Christ of the Light Wedding Photography | Helen & Jimmy

For this wedding, the couple had their ceremony at The Cathedral of Christ of the Light in Oakland.  Thanks to Chung Li for the opportunity to shoot at this gorgeous church!  It has beautiful interior and exterior architecture with lots of natural lighting coming through to the inside.  Just what I like!  I also loved the bouquet with the hydrangeas and peonies. 

 

 

 

Blue & Gold City-Themed Wedding Invitation

Wedding invitations really set the tone for the theme and colors that a guest will expect to see at the wedding.  I love the blue and gold colors that Naomi and Nathan chose.  Even though I wasn't able to attend their wedding, I want to wish the happy couple all the best in their new journey together.

Here are two of my many favorites from this Oakland wedding.

Saratoga Hakone Gardens San Jose Silver Creek Valley Country Club Wedding | Sylvia & Larry

The photos from this Saratoga Hakone Gardens wedding are now ready!  This was a wedding that I won't forget because of the beautiful location for the ceremony, and the timing could not have been more perfect when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.  After some portraits and the ceremony, we headed off to Silver Creek Valley Country Club in San Jose for the reception.  Thanks to Chung Li for letting me assist him with this one.

 

 

Saratoga Hakone Gardens Wedding Preview

I've always wanted to visit the Hakone Gardens in Saratoga and this wedding allowed me to do just that for the first time.  Here's a little something of what's to come in the next week.

UC Davis Arboretum Maternity & Family Photography | Kylie

During the past couple of years, I've been finding myself missing the UC Davis campus and college atmosphere so whenever there's a chance for me to visit the place I'm totally onto it.  A few days ago, I did Kylie's maternity session at the campus's arboretum, which also turned into a mini family session.
