On this day, I had the privilege of shooting Brittney + Chris' fantastic wedding in Saratoga Springs.  These two really know how and love to have a great time with one another, and Chris will go above and beyond for Brittney (literally).  Their wedding was loads of fun, just as they are, and all I can say is I hope to see the parking lot changing room and semi-choreographed boyband performances by the groom and his boys at a future wedding, but if not, I can say I've seen it and it was awesome.

Hector is an old friend of mine, going way back to 6th grade at (now defunct) Hill Middle School in Novato.  Throughout our high school years he would hook me up with all kinds of ridiculous concoctions from Taco Bell and I of course, like 95% of teenage boys, devoured all 6 million calories of it.  I'm glad the opportunity came for me to repay him for all those awful/awesome, terribly bad for your heart, terribly good for your soul things/meals/snacks by photographing his wedding. 

Someone had to be pretty lucky to find a great guy like Hector, but it could be that Hector was the lucky one to find someone as sweet as Elvira.  While shooting their portraits, one could really tell being around one another brings out their playful personalities and have a genuine enjoyment just being with each other. 

Here are some photos from the day:

Mary and I first met back at my first real job when the Novato restaurant Hilltop 1892 reopened its doors in 2010 and we were a part of the opening crew.  While it has been quite a while since that summer, when Mary came to me to photograph her wedding reception back in our hometown of Novato, I couldn't say no!  If the party was anything like Mary, it was going to be an awesome one.  Congrats again to Mary, Christian, and their cute little daughter (who was a real hoot throughout the afternoon)!  It was a beautiful day, with a beautifully put together venue, and a beautiful family, needless to say, I had my work cut out for me ;)
