Adri & Jon's Wedding: Palo Alto Wedding Photography

Okay! So let me begin this post with a little adventure story. It begins about a month before Jon and Adri's wedding...

Adri and Jon learn about us through a mutual friend and are in need of a photographer for their wedding that is fast approaching. We love to help our friends and even our friends of friends, so we check our availability. As it turns out, I am flying home from North Carolina on the day of their wedding. My estimated time of arrival is 2 p.m. Their wedding is suppose to start at 4 p.m. Before we even meet, we let Adri and Jon know about this, but they still want to meet with us - I'm game if they are. So we make the plans to shoot the wedding.

Flash forward. It is early Saturday morning, and I mean East coast time early, and we leave for the airport. There was some confusion at the curb check in, but being in a hurry I told my mom to forget it and that we would check our luggage inside. What we, mostly I, failed to understand was that our flight was DELAYED! No one ever used this work in describing the situation to us, and the woman who checked our bags didn't even tell us!! The possibility of making our connecting flight was incredibly slim (15 minutes in between) and the next flight would land us in San Jose at about 4:25. Not good.

Once we figured this out, I talked with other airline personnel, and I was able to get my mom, my niece and myself on a flight to San Francisco, instead of San Jose. Mind you that my mind is racing and I'm sure that my blood pressure was through the roof, but once we were on the plane, I was good. We were able to land EARLY in San Francisco, at 1 p.m.

Longer story made short (I won't even get started on the luggage ), I made it to the wedding in plenty of time. Talk about stress though. And poor Kristin, she was a "tad" worried about being on her own.

So enough about the trial of the wedding, let's get on to the couple's fabulous images. Adri and Jon are an adorable couple. We had so much fun with them and their wedding party. Just look how beautiful Adri is:

A nice getting ready shot.

There was some time for a first peak, as well as time for shots of the wedding party. It was great!


Aw, so romantical

(I know, I know, not a real word, but don't you think it's appropriate here?).

A great aerial shot by Kristin.


Gotta love those bridesmaids.


... and the groomsmen.


The entire wedding party was a ton of fun!!


The groom.

The bride.

And finally, my favorite shot of the day! I am in love with that fountain.

Luckily I slept for about an hour or so on the plane, but by the end of the night I was completely toasted! 5 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. +3 hour time difference = one tired photographer! It was all worth it though because Adri and Jon's images are wonderful and I loved sharing their special day!!
