bay area monsoon wedding

The rain gods decided to roll in on Chita + Alex’s wedding day. Their lovey outdoor wedding had to be moved to an indoor venue at the eleventh hour. Somewhat like a scene from my favorite Mira Nair film, Monsoon Wedding, it came down to to the frantic, last minute chaos of planning the wedding. The young couple’s amazing friends rallied together to help which was a true testament to love and friendship. As the story got ready to unfold, I hung out with a pretty calm bride at her apartment taking photos of her getting ready.

Here are a few images from the gorgeous south bay wedding I second shot with fine art wedding photographer Shelly Kroeger of Union Photography. It has been an amazing part of my growth as a photographer in an area that is new to me. The wedding was held a picturesque south bay winery. It made a magnificent golden backdrop with the setting sun as the beautiful couple exchanged rings and vows starting their life journey as partners.

I know I have been behind blogging and have so many wonderful sessions to share. Shyla and Danoosh’s wedding has been at the top of my list and I have been going through the photos like a mad woman to share some before they take off on their adventure soon.

Shyla + Danoosh = Engaged

I met this lovely, young couple in San Francisco for their engagement photos. Nope, I haven’t quite forrayed into the world of wedding photography though I will be shooting the wedding of these love birds in the summer. And possibly, after that doing a select few in the future. It was quite the departure from my norm of chasing kids and a nice change. Shyla had this idea of using a big red balloon and sent me a link to these amazing pics taken by Max Wagner. We walked around the city with their big red balloon which sadly had an untimely exit but we managed to get a few good pics before it happened.
