Emily and Danny’s big day at The Rose Hotel and Casa Real in Pleasanton was a sweet celebration of two people in love. From the day we met this couple and learned about their plans for the day we were 100% on board. On February 18th we became proud witnesses to the joining of two families and a bride and groom who truly live for each other.
The day started with a fun and creative photo session at The Rose Hotel. Emily and Danny were full of style and we had a blast posing them while being inspired by the settings of this cool and historic hotel. The ceremony and reception took place at the spacious Casa Real. We love working at this venue because they take great care of their vendors. Everything just seems to come together so much better when everyone has the couples’ best interests in mind :)
Towards the end of the night guests were invited to head towards a dimly lit room to enjoy the soothing and beautiful sounds of Tin Cup Serenade. We loved watching and listening to the band while capturing candid pictures of guests relaxing and socializing in the lounge space.
Check out some of our favorites!
We LOVED shooting in and around The Rose Hotel:
Emily and Danny were so great to pose – we hardly had to say anything to get natural photos full of emotion:
When we reached the ceremony room and lounge area of Casa Real we just had to setup a few more fun poses:
The ceremony room was definitely rocking a certain WOW factor:

You two are truly talented, and we can’t thank you enough for capturing our day in such a beautiful and artistic way! The photos by the staircase at The Rose are my absolute favorites.
I also want to give credit to one more vendor, Veronica Vetter, who worked magic with makeup :)
Thank you guys so much! The photos are beautiful! I can’t wait to see more of them!
