I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the wedding of Andrea and Clay. This was a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) wedding from the bottom, up. The Ceremony was held at a state park off of Heart’s Desire beach, where they brought in hay bails for seating and the reception was held at a huge beach house that they rented, just off the water. They brought in the ambience, decor (detailed to the “t”), great music, beautiful people, delicious food and at the end of the day everyone walked away feeling like royalty. Thank you for allowing me to take part in your truly decadent day!
If I had to categorize this wedding, I would call it a classic, romantic wedding. In Catherine you had your classic “lady” and in Hastings, your classic southern “gentlemen”. The day was toned with subtle romantic details– Catherine’s sleek and beautiful vintage gown, romantic and beautiful floral designs everywhere (the talents of one of SF Bay Area’s greatest kept secrets, Florist, Monica Riner). The ceremony was at St Augustine, a 100 plus year old Catholic Church in the Rockridge district of Oakland. The reception was held under a lush trellis in the back of Somerset Restaurant also in Rockridge but it held the intimate feel of dinner at someone’s home in the french countryside. Simply beautiful. Enjoy this sneak peek Catherine and Hastings, the rest is soon to come. Thank you for sharing this beautiful day!
