Michele + Andrew: Married! (Campbell, CA)

This was my first wedding in 2014. Michele and Andrew are probably one of the sweetest couple I've worked with. They were always looking at each other lovingly, and I remembered when Andrew was at a separate location getting ready, Michele already missed him and kept checking on her phone. So sweet!

The wedding was lovely and unique. The ceremony was an Orthodox wedding ceremony, with their best friends forming the all female groomswomen and bridesmaids bridal party. The reception was nicely put together, and all the guests had a wonderful time. I also found out the groom is a really good dancer!

It was my great pleasure and honor to capture this wonderful wedding of Michele and Andrew!

Alexandra + Mike: Married! (St. Petersburg, Florida)

I first met Alexandra & Mike at Jane & Ken's wedding a couple years ago. Mike was Ken's bestman then. Alexandra & Mike really caught my eyes, especially on the dancing floor! As a ballerina, Alexandra's dance (and Mike's of course) were exceptionally elegant! I have to admit that I took quite a few pictures of them! I was really excited when Mike contacted me last year for their wedding, and found out that Ken would be Mike's bestman this time!

The wedding took place in St. Petersburg, Florida, which is Alexandra's hometown. It has been Alexandra's dream to have her wedding in her hometown church, The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter. However, since both Alexandra and Mike are Jewish, they came up with a very special plan for their ceremony. A traditional huppah was set up inside the church, and they invited their Rabbi from California as the officiant of the ceremony. It was really unique and very beautiful.

The joyous celebration continued at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club, after the fun ride on the trolley. And of course, the happy moments with laughters, great food and wine, traditional and fun dances were intertwined with moments of tears - tears of joy and love. The speeches were all so touching. This was one of the loveliest wedding I have been to, and I am really grateful to Alexandra and Mike for remembering me, and having me to be their photographer for this very important day in their lives. I sincerely wish them a lifetime of happiness!
