The View, Private Residence, East Bay Wedding

A bride, groom, and their family and friends soak up the view from the patio at their East Bay wedding reception.

Chris and Mark were married in Alameda this summer and followed up their beachfront wedding with an East Bay wedding reception in the hills overlooking Oakland and San Francisco. I stepped out to the patio just ahead of them, as they arrived with close family before their guests, and snapped this shot of locals picking out landmarks amongst the clouds for friends in from out of town. A friend of the family agreed to let them use her home for their celebration; the view of the dual cityscapes from this East Bay wedding reception was unforgettable. Italian Colors in nearby Montclair catered the dinner.

Ring Bearers, Cake and a B Cellars Wedding Reception

Here’s one more from the same wedding; Chelsea wanted to make sure this adorable ring bearer tried the cake after a day of running around Domaine Chandon and B Cellars. This is in the wine cave at their B Cellars wedding reception.

Wedding Photography Movement and A Moment Away

A bride and groom take a moment away from their wedding reception in Los Angeles, CA.

 

I’ve been going back to my roots a bit as a wedding photographer. I began as a photojournalist with an interest in how people move about the world – hence the name, “move photography”. I forgot all about this motion for a few years as I held myself to higher and higher standards for technically perfect photos without any blur whatsoever – but lately, I’ve been loving it. Here are a bride and groom on their way out of their exquisitely planned wedding reception to enjoy a private moment together.
