theresa and cory's wedding - san francisco — Napa Valley Wedding Photographer

commentator: theresa and cory had one of the funnest reception to shoot. the performances were nothing short of spectacular. i can remember it just like it was yesterday. this wedding also had a lot of island flavor (which i am particularly partial to). the warm feeling of ohana and aloha was in the air which just puts a smile in your face. i hope to shoot more weddings like this cause it just feels right. =)

kindly please enjoy the photos... =)

he loved it SO much that we went ahead and took portraits with it... uhm, not exactly what i was thinking but it was TOTALLY FUN to do. LOL!!!

of course, our groom had a gift for our bride as well. AWESOME!!!

i thought this photo below was cute

a FAT group photo right after the ceremony

this photo below is another favorite

so this photo below might need a little bit of an explanation. we took a rented van that was "designed" by relatives (i'm sure they had a chuckle during the process) to our photo location after the bridal party group shots. the van stood out SO much even in san frnacisco. it was covered with balloons and writing EVERYWHERE. the cans being dragged was also very loud and at times dangerous cause it would hit the van. how you ask? the cans would recoil and snap back from the muni tracks and steam vents hitting the trunk and sometimes the back window. it was LOUD, scary and very very funny. you had to be there.

special performances

first dance

then one of our hula girls grabbed out bride to dance the hula.

our bride had been SECRETLY practicing the dance to surprise her husband... and boy was he surprised.

one of the groomsman was recording the speech with a rather delicious tripod. BRILLIANT!!!
