Andrea & Srini's Wild West Wedding

Posted in Northern California, Wedding Photography

Andrea and Srini’s wedding this past weekend on May 5th may be the most unique one I have witnessed so far. Situated at Long Branch Farms, a recreation of an old Wild West Town that could outshine anything done in Hollywood, and attended by many Indian guests wearing beautiful saris– that is of the Asian subcontinent, not to be confused with Native Americans– this was one enjoyable mixer of a cultural cocktail. Andrea and Srini had already traveled to where Srini’s parents live in Southern India and participated in a full traditional Indian wedding at the end of 2011, so I suppose they were equally serious about having their all American wedding as well!

Andrea and Srini were absolutely adorable together. They wrote their owns vows and had their friend Badri offiate. Everyone was completely charmed when Srini read a Dr. Suess style love poem to Andrea during their vows.

At night the full moon came out, the brightest of the year! So we made sure to have a moonlight photo shoot after dark. Please enjoy the photos!

Many congratulations to Andrea & Srini!

I had the pleasure of working this event with the following vendors:

Ambrini Events

Reppettos Florist

DJ Keith Switzer

The Cakemaker

Thank you to Alicia for being a great assistant photographer for me on this wedding.

So freaking excited for these two! They kept it sweet and simple with a private elopement in San Francisco`s golden gate park and they also had an enormous amount of luck when they planned to get married on Wednesday when we had a break in the rain here in the SF Bay Area. It was such a joy to capture this moment ❤️

Just going to put this here... my first attempt at putting myself in front of the camera! Everyone else is doing it so I`m giving it a shot now too. ⁠

This is from Christy & Dory`s gorgeous wedding at Straus Home Ranch, in Marshall, CA. It is one of my favorite venues and this was a very special wedding. Even though this is a more serious moment there is tons of laughter that happens between these two. Christy has the most contagious laugh. I`m sure you`ll be smiling when you take a peek. Check out the link in bio.⁠

Enjoy fleet week San Francisco. Hope you enjoy it as much as this mother of the bride!⁠

The most memorable moments are the unexpected ones. We were getting lined up for family photos when we could hear the blue angels starting up (very loudly) and flying overhead. Emily & Will got so lucky they didn`t fly over while they were exchanging their vows and only started up just minutes after they said "I do."⁠
⁠
Also when taking this photo I was disappointed for a split second that I didn`t have a long close up lens on me so I could get a better photo of the planes, but then I realized my wide angle lens was perfect for allowing me to get everyone`s reaction to the planes just before they zoomed out of frame.
