Bay Area Wedding Photographer: Shanna and Adam November 12th, 2011

One of the best parts of shooting a wedding is getting to know your clients, and I really enjoyed getting to know both Shanna and Adam. What I loved most about them as a couple was watching them interact, so effortlessly; they really fit together: yin and yang, peanut butter and jelly mac and cheese, you get it! :)

I teamed up with the amazing Melissa Morelli, of Melissa Morelli photography to capture every detail of their day. We started at the Airport Westin in their bridal suite while the ladies enjoyed the pre-wedding pampering and they boys, well they were just being boys!

Their ceremony was held just after sunset at the Peninsula Temple Sholom in Millbrae, CA. After capturing the father of the bride seeing Shanna for the first time, then Shanna and Adam seeing one another for the first time, all of their family gathered with the Rabbi to sign the Ketubah.

Once their ceremony commenced, it was time to head back to the Westin for an AMAZING reception!! And the party did not stop until 1am! Adam even prepared a specific playlist for the 11-1am crowd ;)

To Shanna and Adam, Mazel Tov!!! Thank you for allowing me to capture your special day!!

XOXO,

Stacey

Los Gatos Engagment Session Photographer- Julie & Jeff's E-Session

What can I say, we had quite the time Julie, Jeff and I! Our Engagement session started at Powell's Candy Store in downtown Los Gatos. J&J regularly enjoy a trip there for candy. It made the perfect backdrop with lots of color, a "Test Your Love Machine", and mints called, "Commit-mints" :)
After having some fun in at Powells, we walked along the streets of Los Gatos. We found a Restoration Hardware Store that provided a cute little sitting area, a Tuscan looking alley way, and even a bridal shop called, "She Said Yes!" How perfect is that?
From there we headed over the Vasona Lake County Park for some fun with Julie's 2 person bicycle! It had belonged to Julie's mother when she was a teenager, and her and Julie's dad would ride it together when they were young, how perfect was it that Julie could use it in her engagement photos??? So, to J&J, watching the two of you interact makes me see how much the two of you truly enjoy one another's company. Not only are you in love, but you are best friends also..........I know that your marriage is going to be filled with many years of joy and happiness! Congrats to the two of you and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to capture your love! XO
