summer winery wedding in san francisco bay area, california Jennifer and Eddie’s wedding was one eleven years in the making. Their romance started while in college at UCLA and reignited years later while they were both working in New York. Now, these two are so in love that when I asked them to take a step apart for one portrait, they replied, “But we don’t wanna."

They had a Catholic ceremony at St. Michael’s church in Livermore, CA, which was followed by a poker-themed reception just down the road at a nearby winery. I have to mention that as someone with a lot of school spirit (GO HEELS!), I also really enjoyed all of the UCLA touches they added to their wedding: a Bruin chant before the cake cutting, a Bruin garter, cake topper and M&Ms. Also, these two totally know how to throw a raging dance party, so the reception seemed to just fly by with almost everyone out on the dance floor all night long. Congratulations, Jennifer and Eddie!

Remember Jimmy and Reshma and their double engagement sessions? Here they are again on their wedding day! This was Adm's first wedding back after recovering from back surgery, so I was a little nervous going in, but he did wonderfully and his back seems to be holding up well. We can't say enough good things about Reshma and Jimmy and their families - I've known Jimmy since my days at the Oakland Tribune (he's the sports reporter and we followed an amazing basketball season at McClymonds High School for a few months together), and I got to know Reshma pretty well after taking lots of photos of her for the e-sessions. She is just so sweet and considerate - never have I had a bride more concerned with how I was being taken care of on the day of her wedding: she was constantly asking if I needed anything to eat, will I toast with her girls, will Adm and I stay to party with them afterwards....? It's obvious that this is how these two were raised because both of their families were also incredibly nice and attentive to us. At any rate, I could gush for hours about Reshma and Jimmy, so let's move on to their wedding!

Both Jimmy and Reshma got ready in their parents' homes, which felt very intimate and allowed for lots of personal moments and details. They were married at Jimmy's family's church, St. Clements Catholic Church, in Hayward, and had their reception at Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton. It's obvious that friends and family are very important to these two as they were surrounded by so many wonderful people all day long and had lots of really nice moments with their friends. Congrats, you two! You guys rock!
