Jackie and James had their wedding ceremony at the All Saints Catholic Church in Hayward and wedding reception at Hotel Valencia in Santana Row in San Jose. The bride and groom got ready at the Hotel in San Jose but the ceremony was in Hayward but I think the day was planned very well because it was not rushed at all. The church was huge and beautiful which made the drive back and forth from Hotel Valencia worthwhile!

The dinner reception at Hotel Valencia was quite beautiful and elegant. I assisted Michael Soo of Capture the Love and below are some of the detail shots that I focused on for the wedding.

Yummy candy and sweets!

The bride had two beautiful wedding dresses!

This is a great reaction expression to a wedding! 

The decor and decoration of the reception dinner were super nice

Here is the cute and adorable Tessa’s six month old photo session! Now that Tessa can sit up straight on her own, her parents asked me to do some studio portraits of her.  She can’t walk yet but she can crawl super fast and here are some of the shots that we were able to capture in between her naps. It was fun using the different props to get her attention. Her mother is from Minnesota and the photo with the baseball and glove in the Twins outfit was super cute although my favorite is actually the shot after that one where she is chewing on the basketball toy and wearing the brown beanie.

Here is a set of Wedding Bands ring shots.
