LARSEN'S PHOTOGRAPHY: SAN JOSE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER : SILVER CREEK VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB

It was late last year when I was referred to Rawan & her fiance' by one of our past Clients. While we don't normally travel so far - I'm always up for new Adventures! (hint hint to any of you Hawaii/Caribbean-bound Brides out there!) When we met about a month later on Pier 39, I was hooked. Rawan & Brent are just...well...adorable. Add in sweet, easy-going & fun - what more could a girl ask for?! So, off to San Jose we'd be!

I arrived to an intimate Condo full of Family & Friends. Everyone was there to support Rawan & help her in any way they could. She was finishing up hair/make-up, so I stepped outside for a few 'details' before getting her dressed...

The cutest little Nieces EVER have arrived!

Once we were dressed, everyone loaded up & headed over to the Church.

I was stunned. I could've taken photos here all day!

This Traditional Orthodox Ceremony was performed in both English & Arabic.

Beautifully enchanting - and a tribute to the Brides Mother & Grandmother who had the same Ceremony at their own Weddings.

You just know a Bride's 'present' in the moment & taking it all in when she shoots you a smile!

What happens on the Party Bus...stays on the Party Bus...

Arriving at Silver Creek Valley Country Club, I was in awe. Rolling hills, exquisite homes - and their beautiful Reception Hall...perfection!

Let's take some Photos!

No need to repeat the Best-man's recollection of Brent's childhood friends on the Farm -

but, I will say - the food was superb! "-)

...evening ambiance to add to the Elegance!

What a lovely & emotional day for these Families coming together. Tears were shed, laughter was shared & hugs flowed freely. I'm so glad to see you both...hit it right out of the Park! Here's to a Lifetime of fun & friendship between you both - something I see so easily in you! CONGRATULATIONS! xo
