Teresa and Gary’s Wedding
On Sunday of this Memorial Day weekend Teresa and Gary were married at Hotel Valencia on Santana Row!
We’ve been looking forward to their wedding for some time now, but it was when we saw some of their awesome wedding details (including green shoes) that I realized the day is going to be even more fun. Much to our delight, Teresa and Gary chose to see each other before the ceremony: this is something we always recommend for making the day go soo much smoother. We spent some time inside the hotel, taking photos in the courtyard, the Vbar, lobby, and in the hallways. I think we could have stayed there for a few more hours as the hotel is just gorgeous and soo modern and the bride and groom were the perfect models!
Shooting outside on Santa Row was a bit more of a challenge as it was pretty crowded on this long holiday weekend. We still managed to find some quiet alleys, beautiful walls, and remote benches for the photos.
Here are just some of our favorites from this awesome day:

The party was really shaking thanks to amazing skills by DJ Jeremy Productions!
Congratulations, Teresa and Gary!! We loved being with you on this beautiful day.

What a great wedding! Santana Row has the best places for portraits, you guys did an amazing job.
This is Sulak and myself’s favourite place to be, especially the quite semi circle room in the hotel on date nights ! ;)))) I love how modern the pictures look and the colours. The couple is very beautiful too ! Another amazing shoot from you guys !!!!!!!!!!
This is a really excellent set, you guys! Love all of ‘em. For the inside shots, what did you use to light them? Video lights?
Thanks for your comments, guys! Santana Row is definitely a fun place to shoot.
Alex: we did use some video lights on a few of the portraits. Can’t live without ‘em! :)
