Kiauna & Dedan Wedding Photos

Kiauna and Dedan are amazing and really funny people, as you may have gathered from my blog entry about their engagement photos, so I was really excited about doing their wedding photography!

They got married at San Ramon Golf Club in a beautiful setting that was completely breathtaking. But not only was the wedding stunning, it was also a lot of fun. Here are some of the pictures from the wedding.

The flower girl had a beautiful little bucket to drop flowers from.


The ceremony is held under a weeping willow tree at the gazebo.



Exchanging of the wedding rings.


The golf course is so beautiful and makes for a wonderful backdrop.


I love happy couples!


And the wonderful swan who was so gracious to "model" for some pictures.


Congrats Kiauna and Dedan! I wish you a long and happy marriage.

Carolyn and Donald's Enagement Pictures

Carolyn and Donald are two of the sweetest people you will ever meet. The weekend that we took their engagement pictures they had just picked out their wedding rings and picked up their marriage license and were complete giddy about it....I love seeing couples get excited about their upcoming wedding.


The Marcom Rose Garden in Oakland has become one of my favorite places to photograph engaged couples. And a cute older couple, who walks through the garden every day together, told me that the garden is at it's best in May. I can't wait to go back and see it then.


Of course, Carolyn and Donald have a great sense of humor and were "brave" enough to fake pushing each other in the pond.




But in the end, everyone was just fine and not wet and enjoyed the rest of the photo session.



I can't wait until their wedding, I'm sure it will be just as much fun. Thanks Carolyn and Donald for a great day of photography!
