As Carole explained to me when we first met, she had heard about me from someone who worked at a bakery. They apparently told her, “she should definitely hire me!” Carole went and checked out my site and decided she liked me work so she gave me a call just a few short weeks before her wedding.
I met Carole with her mom and fell in love with the idea of shooting her wedding! Carole had done some modeling before and was very comfortable in front of the camera. Her and Joey were to be married at the Church of the Nativity in Menlo Park. I had never shot there before and I am glad I finally have. It is one of the nicest Catholic churches I have seen because it is so classic and “small town” looking, while the inside is beautiful and inviting.
From the church, we moved on to a really special and unique place for the reception, Peninsula Building Materials. They have multiple showrooms, however, the one we went to was in Mountain View. Turns out, Joey’s parents own it, so they had their own private location for their reception. Best of all, it’s not a reception hall, it’s a showroom, so there are different tiles and natural stones as the flooring. Each wall of the building has a different theme with different rock and stone patterns ideas, one of which, is a wave made of smooth stones. The inside had a wood burning over and gorgeous warm fireplace.I would love to shoot here again but I don’t think there will be much chance of that unless they open it for more events.
Carole and Joey enjoyed their time with family and friends and are now in Rome! I hope they enjoy looking at these from across the Atlantic!
