Trisha & Jeremy | Old St. Hillary's Church Wedding | Water's Edge Hotel | Servino's Restaurant Reception | Tiburon, CA Wedding
Trisha & Jeremy were SUCH a joy to work with! I liked them straight away from our first meeting, when they told me one of the funniest engagement stories I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot! I’m not going to retell it all here, but suffice it to say it involved oysters, volcanoes, and toilet paper – and I’m not kidding!! But it’s how heartfully in love they are that really got to me. They are so beautifully connected, it was a privilege to be with them on this day. I was so happy to be shooting such a gorgeous couple, in such a stunning location on such a glorious spring day… I know that’s a lot of positive adjectives, but this wedding deserved them! I love Old St. Hillary’s Church – you’d never guess we were still in Marin. The bride was fashionably late to the Water’s Edge Hotel (don’t worry Trisha, you’re not the only it’s happened to! 
), so I had a little extra time with her carefully-chosen flowers and accessories both at the hotel and at Servino’s Restaurant on the water just a few doors down… Trisha is an artist who works at a gallery, and was clear from the beginning that she wanted classic Dutch still lives as the theme for the flower colors – so super rich!
Here’s Jeremy, the handsome groom:
And Trisha getting ready… a little wolf whistle for this first one, please! ;-)
This one makes me want to get back to hand-making old-style platinum/palladium prints:
A quick drive up the hill to Old St. Hillary’s, and here is Jeremy, preparing himself just moments before the ceremony started:
This next one was all done in camera (not Photoshop) with portable strobes adding to the drama of the late-afternoon sun…
And just a couple quick shots from the lovely reception at Servino’s, where we had such a clear view of San Francisco across the bay. Thanks to Julie Durkee from Torino Baking for such a beautiful cake with a very unique color & design (you can see it in b&w in the left corner of the last shot), and to Katy Baker of Adagio Weddings & Events for keeping everything flowing smoothly…
