Teresa + David | Moraga | Saint Mary's College Chapel | Lafayette Park Hotel | Wedding

Teresa is one of those hard working school teachers.  I wonder if her kids know how fun and passionate Teresa is.  I don't think I've ever seen a bride so excited for her own wedding.   She was so in the moment the whole day and was in celebration mode the whole time.  It was so refreshing to see that and get to enjoy that part of the day with her. 

Teresa came as a referral from a past bride, Annie Mun.  Thanks Annie!  Most of our weddings are from referrals and I love it, because I usually get to see my past couples at the wedding too. 

Dave and Teresa were married at the beautiful Saint Mary's Chapel in Moraga.  The church is situated inside St. Mary's College, where Teresa's father attended school so the whole place had a special place in her heart.  She asked us to take many detail shots of the place and after we took them we realized how rich and beautiful the grounds are.  We shot their briefly before, but never had the chance to do the place justice.  

Teresa and Dave, you guys were so fun to work with, the day couldn't have been better.  I am so glad that you got the wedding and man of your dreams Teresa.  You deserve it a thousand times over!   

Teresa lookin' gorgeous!

Gotta love the natural window light and warm overhead lighting.  Teresa had such a good time posing with us.

Ingrid always gets to ride in the limos and I have to drive.  Not fair!  I love the expression on their faces.

The moment right before they had to walk in.

The sun was creating this awesome spotlight in the courtyard.  God sure does know how to light a scene.

Dave was so happy when they came out together for the first time.

I think Ingrid was hiding behind a column or something when she captured this.

One of my favorite shots of the day.  She has some stunning eyes.
