Natasha & Andrew's Wedding at Hidden Villa

My wife and I always wanted to capture a barnyard wedding. This was the closest one we were able to get. One of our dear friends got married at Hidden Villa in Los Altos and we were so happy to capture their special moment that day. There is something so alluring with this rustic location that it complemented Andrew & Natasha quite well. Their wedding party was a blast to work with as they not only had fun but also displayed some of their quirky personalities. My wife also made some props that we used toward the end of the wedding. We thought it might be a great addition to make photographing the guests more fun (and it showed with their priceless expressions). Congratulations Andrew & Natasha! We wish you the very best in your marriage and we hope you'll have many more years of bliss together!

Mei & Phil's Wedding in Carmel

Overlooking the mountains of Carmel was a wedding so beautiful and intimate like Mei & Phil's big day. These two were one of the most fun and encouraging couple i've worked with. It was an intimate wedding where everyone who attended had a special relationship with them. The estate that they rented was absolutely magnificent, with a great view overlooking Carmel Valley. The next day we went to downtown Carmel to photograph the second half of their wedding, this time focusing only on the couple. I love downtown Carmel because of its unique look and it being so close to the beach. I had to be careful as the white sand along this coast is one of the finest in the world. Great to hold and look, but bad for my cameras :). We ended our shoot along the pacific ocean around noon. Thanks Phil & Mei for a wonderful time at your wedding. It really was a blast capturing your special day with all your family and friends!
