First wedding of 2010! Gilroy Wedding Photographer

This was a really fun wedding for me to be the photographer for. I have known Scott (the groom) for about 7 years or so. He was the youth pastor at the Santa Cruz Church of the Nazarene right before I was the youth pastor there. But I think I even knew him before then because of mutual friends and stuff. So when I heard that he was engaged to Shannon on Facebook I all but stalked him to get him to let me be his photographer. You think I’m kidding…

Well, it didn’t freak them out at all and they hired me for this past weekend. It was a gorgeous day. You would think that January would be dreary and cold and wet, and it can be, but not this day in January. It was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed getting out in the sun for some of their couple shots. It was so absolutely clear to me and our team that Scott and Shannon are madly in love with each other. I am beyond blessed to have gotten to be a small part in their special day!

Scott and Shannon, I hope you guys are having a blast in Mexico. I have no idea if you will get to see these before you get stateside. If you get a chance to read this, remember you are supposed to have an adult beverage for me. haha.

And now on to the story of Scott and Shannon’s wedding day:

I had the awesome opportunity to second shoot for my second shooter this past weekend. It was so much fun to have the chance to step back and be more creative with my angles and my compositions. But it was also a blast to be a part of Heather and Efrain day.

We started out in one of the most gorgeous churches I have ever been in, Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Petaluma. The moment I walked into the church I was overcome with reverence and excitement for the covenant that they were making that day.

Heather and Efrain, I just met you on Saturday, but I could tell from our short time together that you two are a team. The eight years of preparation that got you to this point was just the beginning of a wonderful journey that will last your whole lives. If you can remember even half of the incredibly wise words Father Gary shared with you, you will be off to an incredible start.

Many blessings to the two of you!! Have a great time in Jamacia!!!

The first time I met Gordon and Nichole I was impressed by their how down to earth in love with each other they were. As we spoke and they told of starting to date at the tail end of high school (think Grad Night, you can’t get any more tail end) and their journey to San Francisco for college together and the ups and downs of their early twenties they impressed me with a love that stood the test of 8 years already. As I was walking up to the ceremony site with the Gordon’s brother, the best man, he mentioned that in his heart these two have been married for a while already. The ceremony that took place yesterday only confirmed what everyone in attendance knew in their hearts. Gordon and Nichole are perfectly matched as husband and wife.

Throughout the day it was a joy to watch these two as the experienced the details that unfolded throughout their day. The Golf Links at Half Moon Bay was the perfect setting for the ceremony and the reception. But even more perfect was the gentle way that these two glided through their day with the certainty that this was right, this was perfect, and this is what they had been dreaming for much of their 8 years together.

Gordon and Nichole it was beyond magnificent to share your day with you and get to document your love story. Have a blast in Maui (I am so jealous!!) and I will be in touch soon.

For the second time this month my couple decided to do a “first look.” I loved it, they loved it and the best part, we got ALL of the formal portraits done before the ceremony. This left plenty of time for us to use the time after the ceremony to get amazing location shots around the Golf Links.

I think this little flower girl in training is going to give me a run for my money in about 20 years. I better be careful! (I can’t wait to see  shot she took though!)
