Hillary + Matt in Oakland, CA

_MG_0366

Earlier in July, Adm and I had the pleasure of photographing Hillary and Matt's wedding at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension in Oakland.  We photographed their engagement session last March so we went into the wedding feeling very comfortable and at ease with them.  They had a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony (our first!) combined with LOTS of dancing and drinking!  It was such a fun crowd to photograph that the night seemed to fly by.  Hillary and Matt, you guys were a blast and we're so happy we were able to be part of your big day!

We decided to do Hillary and Matt's portraits before the ceremony so this is Matt seeing Hillary all dressed up for the first time.

Adm took such a cool shot of them during the limo ride:

This is our dear friend Beth who introduced us to Matt and Hillary.  Beth and Hillary work together for Gallo Winery, and they just concocted some fabulous wine!

An arm wrestling showdown took place during the cocktail hour.  It was intense!

Adm snagged this photo of the happy couple beneath a gorgeous rainbow.  It couldn't have been more perfect.
