J + J Wedding | Rahlston Hall Mansion | Belmont

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer's sister, Emily who was married at the The Palm Event Center in Pleasanton earlier this year. You could say that the family was very busy year with the planning of two weddings at to beautiful locations. Jennifer chose The Rahlston Hall Mansion for her wedding. This was my first time there and it's beautiful!

V + R | Saint Claire Hotel | San Jose

I loved working with Vu and Robert! They wanted something fun and modern so we went with the colors pewter and yellow with touches of white. One of my favorite quotes from the year was from Vu. She told me she wanted a "big a$$ bouquet". I was afraid with her tiny frame that she would be overwhelmed. But she rocked the big bouquet with style.

Ceremony: Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph
Reception: Sainte Claire Hotel in San Jose
