Gunther and Vivien are a really fun couple with a great sense of humor. Not many people think to hire Cal’s mascot Oski the Bear for their wedding at the UC Berkeley Faculty Club. As an alumni, I was very excited at the prospect! Vivien is a crafty girl who found personalized cake toppers to match their wedding day outfits, and her wedding gown was based on a Baby the Stars Shine Bright (Japanese lolita brand) jumperskirt, handmade by a local seamstress.

Congratulations to Juliana and Mike, whose wedding I had the pleasure to shoot on January 23, 2010. The ceremony took place at the UC Botanical Gardens in Berkeley, and despite a forecast of rain, we found some nice little moments of sun. It was a small gathering of close family and friends in a cozy greenroom… a wonderful experience.
