Weddings at Bella Piazza Winery

Looking for a wedding site? Today I’m featuring Bella Piazza Winery. This might just be the perfect site for you.  Located off of High 49 in the Shenandoah Valley  45 minutes from Sacramento.  It has a beautifully landscaped grounds.  The reception room is romantic and cozy.  The piazza where the dancing reception is held reminds of Italy. It’s so charming.  The staff is very helpful and friendly.  I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding there a few years ago.  I love photographing in places where I can be so inspired.  ere are some of the wedding wedding photos of Jami and Jim.  I hope to photograph there again in the near future! Flowers are by the fabulous Blooms by Martha Andrews.

Love this beautiful family.  We got some amazing fun fall colors and leaves before the rain.  The lighting was gorgeous.  But how gorgeous is this family.

Wedding at Sequoyah Country Club – Sharon and Marty

Sharon and Marty celebrated their wedding with a small group of close family and friends at the beautiful Sequoyah Country Club in Oakland.  It’s such a beautiful wedding site-so classic with arched windows and beautiful columns. The wedding florist did an amazing job with the flowers.  The wedding DJ rocked the house.  Sharon’s wedding dress looked stunning on her.  There were a lot of laughter and fun dancing!  The weather was close to perfect not to mention the gorgeous sunset we had that night.  Every one was so much fun, and so warm and friendly.  Sharon and Marty is such a nice couple and very sweet.  Their daughter is so cute and loved having her photo taken.  I really enjoyed my time photographing this special day.  Best wishes to Sharon and Marty!

Wedding at Sunol Valley Golf Club / Anh and Cathy

The wedding of Anh and Cathy was beautiful.  Sunol Valley Golf Club was a gorgeous wedding site.  Funny that as I drove in to the parking lot, I remembered that I had photographed there ten years ago.  I love the view where they had their ceremony. Simply gorgeous.  The hills in the background and the green golf course and palm trees, were an amazing backdrop for a wedding ceremony.  The blue sky, speckled by a few waves of clouds was icing on the cake.  The music by Impact Sounds made for a fun and festive evening.  But, what is wedding without a fun photobooth brought to you by no other than best photobooth in town, Rocket Booths.

The highlight of the evening was when Ahn gave his bride a surprise present.  This was unique because he didn’t just hand her the gift but was delivered via interactive video during their slideshow.  He and his best man John Vu decided to be creative and they recorded a video where  Anh was transported into the video.  He ran inside the photobooth and came out in the video.  So creative and so hilarious !! At the end of  the video, he goes back into the photobooth and came out to reality carrying a box with a puppy for his new bride.  How creative and sweet.  Lots of ooh and aahhs 🙂  And of course, Cathy was happy and surprised.

Anh and Cathy are such a loving couple and obviously very in love.   Congratulations!
