Remember Jimmy and Reshma and their double engagement sessions? Here they are again on their wedding day! This was Adm's first wedding back after recovering from back surgery, so I was a little nervous going in, but he did wonderfully and his back seems to be holding up well. We can't say enough good things about Reshma and Jimmy and their families - I've known Jimmy since my days at the Oakland Tribune (he's the sports reporter and we followed an amazing basketball season at McClymonds High School for a few months together), and I got to know Reshma pretty well after taking lots of photos of her for the e-sessions. She is just so sweet and considerate - never have I had a bride more concerned with how I was being taken care of on the day of her wedding: she was constantly asking if I needed anything to eat, will I toast with her girls, will Adm and I stay to party with them afterwards....? It's obvious that this is how these two were raised because both of their families were also incredibly nice and attentive to us. At any rate, I could gush for hours about Reshma and Jimmy, so let's move on to their wedding!
Both Jimmy and Reshma got ready in their parents' homes, which felt very intimate and allowed for lots of personal moments and details. They were married at Jimmy's family's church, St. Clements Catholic Church, in Hayward, and had their reception at Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton. It's obvious that friends and family are very important to these two as they were surrounded by so many wonderful people all day long and had lots of really nice moments with their friends. Congrats, you two! You guys rock!

There was lots of dancing at this wedding, including some great moves by Jimmy's grandpa:
Mary and Will live in Los Angeles but came back up to the Bay Area (where they're both from) for their wedding in July. They were married in the Berkeley Hills at the Brazilian Room, which is so serene and beautiful, it's hard to believe city chaos exists just 15 minutes away. We headed back into the city chaos after their wedding (which was a morning brunch) for portraits of the two of them by the Ferry Building in San Francisco. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and there was so much love and happiness for these two, it was almost overwhelming. Mary and Will are both incredibly giving and nurturing, and it was such a treat to not only witness how excited they were to be getting married, but to also see how much joy they felt in having their closest family and friends with them all in one place.
