For Christina and Buddy, 2011 began with a bang. They spent 1/1/11 getting married! I can’t think of a better way to start a new year. Despite the gray and rainy weather, their spirits could not be dampened as evident in the joy in their faces. They were the happiest two campers on the block. Christina & Buddy, you guys were made for each other and I’m so thankful to have photographed your day.![]()
Christmas decorations were still in full effect at the San Leandro Hilton where Christina and her bridal party prepared.






Christina had the most adorable pair of purple galoshes to keep her toes dry from the rain.




I love these New Year’s Eve glasses left over from their rehearsal dinner.![]()











The First Presbyterian Church of Hayward (which is technically located in Castro Valley) was a lovely church that fit all of their guests. 300-400 of them!
















After the light reception, we headed over to Lake Chabot for some portraits.





Lastly, a Chinese banquet reception at East Ocean Seafood completed the festivities.





Congratulations, Christina & Buddy! And thanks to Phoebe for shooting with me.![]()
