Here’s part II of Frederique & Jason’s incredible Halloween wedding. The flower girl was the “lost fairy” and Frederique & Jason, who walked down the aisle to haunted house music, went with the late 18th century Victorian theme for their costumes. The groom dressed as a magician and the bride was an autumn queen …
I love that their getaway car was a hearse!!

Ceremony & Reception: The Enchanted Forest
This blog post has been long overdue. It has taken me forever to narrow down what pictures to blog about from Frederique and Jason’s beyond amazing Halloween wedding. And because I simply cannot narrow things down any further, I’ve decided to do two posts!
Because Halloween is Jason & Frederique’s favorite holiday of the year, they designed and created a spectacular Halloween themed wedding… from the engagement photos, to the costumes, to the castle nestled in the hills of De Luz valley where the wedding was held.
Being at the castle reminded me of being on the haunted mansion ride at Disneyland. An animatronic zombie bride and groom greeted guests as they walked through the castle gates. The décor all around consisted of pumpkins, skeletons, spider webs, and spiders. Here’s a few of my favorite detail shots:
I LOVE this ring shot that my second shooter, Auey Santos took!

The weekend before their wedding, Melissa & Larry had a traditional Cambodian ceremony with their families and then celebrated their wedding the following week with a traditional American ceremony at Elliston Vineyards. Melissa wore a fabulous birdcage veil and a superbly stylish dress which provided a look that was nearly Hollywood glam. The couple incorporated their heritages with wardrobe changes, greeting their guests at the reception in traditional Cambodian attire and Melissa changing into a beautiful traditional Chinese dress halfway through the reception.
I’ve been dying to blog about Wendy & Jason’s engagement session for a couple of weeks now. We had a blast wandering around downtown Los Gatos with their adorable little puppie, Simon. Here’s just a few of my many favorites from our day together …

Stephanie & Sean were married on a gorgeous, sunny October day. Not only did we luck out with amazing weather, but we stumbled upon an empty field after their ceremony just in time to capture some amazing sunset portraits. The field was a photographers dream . . . I was so excited!
I just LOVE this amazing shot my fabulous second shooter, Auey Santos, got!
