I’m always excited shooting at new venues. Kris and Gabe’s wedding was held at the Silver Creek Valley Country Club a gorgeous private golf club in San Jose.
As any Bay Area resident would know, the weather here has been strange of late. It’s been raining a lot lately and it was bound to rain on a wedding one of these weekends. Sure enough, Murphy’s Law prevailed and the day of Kris & Gabe’s wedding started overcast and quickly degraded to a full shower by the time of the reception.
Good thing we had their revealing earlier in the day so that we got a chance to take some bridal portraits at Stanford University before heading to the Silver Creek Valley Country Club.
With the weather being so unpredictable, it was decided that they move the ceremony indoors. The original ceremony site was an outdoor area near the golf club’s waterfall.
Even though they had seen each other prior to the ceremony, Kris couldn’t help but shed some tears when she walked down the isle. Of course, the bridesmaids seeing their friend cry, started crying too!
After the ceremony, the rain was really coming down hard but not letting the weather affect her wedding day, Kris made the best of it by breaking out her bright purple rain boots! She asked me if we can go outside to take some pictures with her wearing them. Being one to not shy away from a challenge, I readily agreed and we set off to find a good spot for the quick shoot.
Not surprisingly, it was quite a challenge to: stay dry, direct, take pictures and smile! Somehow we pulled it off and we got some of my favorite wedding images ever!
Here are some highlights of one of my favorite weddings. Enjoy!
