The wedding of Michelle and Noah was held at Saint Christopher's Church, in San Jose, with reception at the Cocoanut Grove, in Santa Cruz. It was a perfect September day, that provided me with lots of great photo-making opportunities. Here are some shots from the wedding...

I love getting those detail shots!

There was a significant amount of time between the ceremony and the beginning of the reception, and some of us arrived early to the Coaconut Grove. We were so early that the doors were still locked, but we needed to get in, and had to be creative to do so. So... here's Michelle' parents, Rocky and Toni, trying to get into the freight elevator! What we all actually ended up doing was even more adventurous. We climbed up a very steep and narrow spiral stairway, that was so tight you had to take care to avoid bumping your head. I wanted to get in and do detail shots of the room setup, but I really liked the story-telling shots of the parents at the freight elevator!

Cocoanut Grove Sun Room a little later in the evening. As with many of my shots, this has significant processing in Photoshop.

I would like to send out a big heart-felt "Thank-you" to Toni and Rocky, and of course Michelle, Noah and the rest of their families, for the kindness and courtesy they showed me. It was so wonderful working with you all!
