More amazing wedding venues

Last week I had the pleasure to visit some more beautiful wedding venues in the San Francisco Bay Area. (A definite perk of being a wedding photographer...you get to see all these great places!)

Nestldown is a venue for people who love Redwood trees, ponds, and a train that grown people can actually ride! The ceremony area is nestled in between large redwoods and is set right next to one of the two ponds on the grounds. Check out there site here: http://www.nestldown.com/.

JW Marriott is a hotel that is only a couple blocks from Union Square. And once you step inside it just amazes you at how beautiful it is! I could sit in the lobby for hours and just soak up the atmosphere. Their site is: http://www.jwmarriottunionsquare.com/.

Dunsmuir-Hellman Historic Estate is just breath taking! A 37 room mansion is on the grounds that stretch a mile long. There is a pond, carriage house, and pavilion that makes this place a little hidden jewel in Oakland. Visit the site at: http://www.dunsmuir.org/.

New Look for the Website

I'd like to announce the new look and feel of the Rhonda Giedt Photography website. It is still at the same URL of www.PhotosByRhonda.com and showcases wedding photography, family portraits, pet portraits, and child portraits. You can also find vendors where I am a preferred wedding photographer and other great vendors in the wedding industry.

I'd like to give a special thanks to Robert Giedt for helping me redesign the site and getting it live!

Enjoy!

Ondine in Sausalito

Ondine is a great space to have a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or a wedding reception. I visited it today in Sausalito. It had the most amazing view of downtown San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz.

I will be photographing their Bridal Event on Thursday and will be sure to post the amazing shots of this great space!
