Wedding Details at Berkeley

As soon as I walked into the hotel room and saw Sheryl's shoes and garter, I immediately knew purple was the main color theme in her wedding.




While Sheryl and her bridesmaids were busy getting ready for the big day, I, as a photographer, was focusing on capturing the things they have prepared for the wedding.




The ceremony and lunch buffet were held at Berkeley. There was a small Japanese teahouse in the facility which I loved. The wooden deck and the surrounding plants were my favorites.





It was a bright hot sunny day. It was so sunny day that I had to use the maximum 1/4000 shutter speed on my camera when taking pictures outdoor. The tricky part was where the ceremony took place because there were two extreme lighting situations, shady and bright light, in the same area. Getting accurate exposures was a challenge.





I love looking at details. Paying attention to details in a wedding is necessary because these “personal touch” tell me the style and personalities of the wedding couple. Each couple (and their friends) put their efforts to make the wedding unique and personal; therefore, every single detail plays an important role in a wedding.

There were a lot of nice and meaningful touch at Sheryl and Ken’s wedding. I especially liked the “thumb painting”. I think it was such a fun idea!





Special thanks to JeZa for asking me to be their associate photographer. It was a precious real-life experience. I had a great time photographing Sheryl and Ken's wedding. I wish the newly wedded couple have a wonderful married life together!
