cypress hotel wedding, j w l photography, bonnie and brian wedding, cupertino_01

When I shot Bonnie and Brians engagement at Exploratorium last year, I knew they were going to have some great ideas for their wedding day. They definitely delivered, and I was proposed with the idea of shooting in……….. a supermarket. Yes, a supermarket! Lot’s of fun, but next time, definitely check with the PR manager first ; )

After the first look, we grabbed a few portraits around the Cypress Hotel.

As Bonnie said, a play on words, “Walking down the aisle.”

Brian is a musician, so of course we had to incorporate some music in the photos : )

A very sweet gift exchange. Brian had written and sang a song for Bonnie.

They also played a kissing game, where the guests were to perform a kiss and the newlyweds had to follow along. Loved the look on Bonnies face.

Mia and Elmer tied the knot on July 4th, and it was quite the celebration. Their wedding day started off with a traditional tea ceremony.

Kat and Albert used to take the Bart to work together every morning, and so it was fitting that we did their engagement shoot around the Montgomery Bart station. I loved how they made each other laugh and smile, and it really shows in the images below.

We almost got locked in on the rooftop of the Crocker Galleria for these shots.
