Gorgeous East Bay Area Wedding

This wedding was SO much fun to work on! Being from the East Bay Area myself, it’s so nice to get a wedding close to home! From the brides STUNNING lace wedding gown to the soft pastel florals, this wedding was quite a blast.

We started with their first look, at the Fountains in San Ramon. This is a gorgeous place for pre-ceremony photos. Generally I start wedding coverage ~3 hours before the ceremony, and most venues only allow you on site 2 hours before. Definitely make sure you check with your venue and photographer!

I also am a huge fan of first looks! Although, there are certainly pros and con’s to each side. If you are ever undecided, please let me know and we can chat about all the great reasons to choose either way!

Just look at the stunning details on this brides dress. She said that it was THE FIRST dress she tried on AND she ordered it online! Can you say ‘Meant to be?’

Once we finished up portraits at The Fountains – we headed over to the venue! They got married at the gorgeous Wedgewood Weddings San Ramon. They actually were one of the last weddings to have the gazebo! Wedgewood has since torn it down and erected a new gorgeous arbor. The huge willow tree gives such beautiful light during ceremonies there!

Regardless of first look, I believe that it’s still SO special when the groom sees the bride walking down the aisle.

Congrats Ran & Nga!
