This couple just made me giggle. Happiness ooozed out of them all day long and it was contagious for everyone around them. I just love this photo and how her simple gesture just made him laugh. It was a beautiful ceremony at the family church and the reception was held at the Diablo Country Club in Alamo. The whole wedding had some great personal touches. Check out the grooms cake in the slideshow. It was a rubik’s cube with a deck of chocolate cards. It tells you a lot about their personalities. Below is a list of some of their vendors. So enjoy!

We had such a wonderful time photographing the Bradley family on a beautiful fall morning. I’ve had the oppurtunity to photograph the family several times in the last couple of years, and each time it has been a joy. One of the most fun was photographing the family of four. Kids this age are not know for sitting still so we went with the flow. What does every kid love to to do on a bed? Jump! I love the uniqueness of this family photo and the smile it brings to my face when I see it.

I can’t believe December is already here.  I’ve been so busy the holidays have just snuck up on me.  But I have to admit I’m one of those people who love this time of year.  The only thing I miss about living in California is the snow.  The first snowfall always got me into the Christmas mood.  But now we have our own tradition.  The first Saturday after Thanksgiving we head up to Boulder Creek to the Johnson Tree Farm.  This place is great and every year we have some of the same people and some new.  This year my in-laws were able to join us.  It was a lot of fun.  After having 10 people over to our place for Thanksgiving we had a lot of leftovers.  It was great we took a lot of it up to the farm, had a picnic, did a hayride, fed some goats, drank some hot cider, and of course we picked out our tree.  This year our tree’s name was Rosebud.  The boys love that the trees have names.  The last couple of years we let the boys help cut it down.  This year we saw if they could carry it.[photopress:cuttingtree.jpg,full,pp_image][photopress:treecarriers_1.jpeg,full,pp_image]
