About a month ago, we just shot Jennifer & Vu’s cool engagement session at Stanford, now it comes their big day. We know it’s going to be a unique wedding, but we were still shocked at the moment when we stepped into the banquet hall. The over 400 guests wedding banquet was full of energy and fun. And we were so lucky to be part of the wedding to experience all the excitement and again, it’s another wonderful evening for us. Thanks Jen & Vu, both Julia and I had a great time at the banquet.
Again, makeup by Ann Ho. (Amazing work, Ann. And we are going to work together again for a pre-wedding session very soon)
We started the portrait session for the wedding party at Dolce Hayes Mansion after lunch time:
This is the Canvas gallery wrap and signature prints that we made for Jennifer & Vu from their engagement photo session, it looks great at the entrance of the banquet hall:
Julia can always catch this type of “Danny at work” photo. Great shot, although my pose is ugly.
I have to say something about the catering service, it’s the best wedding banquet food that we have ever experienced. Normally we just spent 5 minutes grabbing a bite and back to work, because of the high pressure and we really cannot relax and enjoy the food. But this time, the beef and sea bass were just gorgeous and made us stay at seat for 10 minutes. That’s the record.
Escape from the banquet: (I call the shots below ” escape”. To stay at a 400 guest banquet is excited. But let’s escape from the banquet for 5 minutes and go to a place where there is nobody else, just bride and groom ( Photographers are invisible, don’t count). For this moment, there are only bride and groom, the real candid moment without any disturbance.
Jennifer and I: do we look like brother and sister? Seriously. haha
