Wedding Photography at Oakland California Temple

Surprisingly we were full of energy for the wedding despite it being our 3rd weddings in a row and flight arriving to California at 3 am! The energy around wedding couple, AnnElise & Chris permeated to everyone! ;) AnnElise has such a beautiful custom wedding dress and Chris looked quite dashing in his tan tux. ;) The Oakland Temple really is a gorgeous temple! So after some wedding family portraits and some portraits of the happy wedding couple we head off to the luncheon at the HS Lordship's Restaurant where they enjoyed the closeness of family and friends and also some friendly banter from their siblings. Both AnnElise's brothers and Chris's family had everyone laughing hard enough to bring tears to our eyes! Their wedding reception was in the beautiful backyard and despite it being big they almost didn't have room for everyone who came to wish the newlyweds good luck! Both Chris and AnnElise are super nice and clean, so I didn't even hope for a good cake smashing, blue frosting and a white wedding dress just don't mix. [I however send out a dare to the any future couple we do to have a cake fight, only if you want to ;)] And while Chris & AnnElise stayed perfectly clean their get-away vehicle definitely didn't. I think all their nieces and nephews worked their best efforts on it! ;) Well Congratulations you two! We loved doing you engagements session and were thrilled to be there for your wedding day!
