Palm Event Center Wedding - Pleasanton, CA
The day started at The Rose Hotel in Pleasanton where Sabrina and her girls were getting ready. The Rose is a charming boutique style hotel and the room theme happened to match her accent colors.
After the girls were done making themselves look beautiful we met up with Daniel and his guys at Palm Event Center in Livermore. What a gorgeous estate!
Palm's event manager Clay kept everything running seamless. Palm does their own catering and the round pasta dish is to die for.
DJ Brad from Brad Kinney Productions kept the music flowing and the guests grooving well into the evening. They did the Hora dance (traditional Jewish chair lift) and a dance where the bride leads the party around with a parasol in hand while guests wave napkins in the air. This made for some fun pictures!
Thanks to Laena for 2nd shooting/assisting

Redwood City Historical Museum Wedding
Jt and Kristie rock!
They decided to see each other before the ceremony so we could take most of the family and bride/groom pictures early in the day. No rushing or stressing out (for me or them).
They were married at the Redwood City Historical Museum that was previously used as the Redwood City Courthouse. Dinner followed in a courtroom upstairs. Yep, a courtroom with a stain glass ceiling! Dancing was back on the first floor, under another huge stain glass dome. They don't make buildings like this anymore!
Thanks to Sylvia for 2nd shooting and taking those great fish eye images!

Corner Stone Gardens Wedding - Sonoma CA
Zach and Alison were married at the Corner Stone Gardens in Sonoma. www.cornerstonegardens.com Corner Stone is a unique location with 20 different gardens; each designed by a world-famous landscape architect.
One of my favorite pieces is the blue tree; check it out below.
After shooting images at several of the garden locations Zach and Alison joined their wedding guests for a banquet dinner served by Corner Stone. I love their Halibut; its so yummy!
This wasn't a wedding with lots of traditions, rather a grand celebration. Cupcakes by www.debbiedoescakes.net instead of cake and dancing instead of bouquet and garter tosses. Let the party begin! You could see the guests were really having a good time as the dance floor was in constant use while DJ Dave www.fogcityent.com kept the dance music flowing.

Villa Montalvo and Palo Alto Country Club Wedding
Jodie and Daniel were married at Villa Montalvo. This mansion is a spectacular wedding venue. The bridal room has an ultra sleek vanity that reminds me of old Hollywood - see pictures below. Outside the mansion there is a brick court yard that is perfect for ceremonies.
Their reception took place at Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club. A classy club with beautiful views.
On the way to the reception the limo driver took a quick detour to Safeway per the the bridal parties request. Something about beer?? I'm glad I was on the limo's tail because I've always wanted to get some pictures of a bride waltzing through the market isles. Fun!
