Muller/Lima Wedding @ the Fairmont SJ

For anyone from the San Jose area, the names Lou's Village(Muller family) and Lima Family are two very familiar ones. In fact, I would say they are institutions. We were very lucky to be able to work with Kristina Muller and her girls at the Fairmont for her evening wedding to Joe Lima. I can not wait to hear how the reception went!

This was so much fun for us because it was a very elegant evening affair. It allowed us to do work that was more dramatic than we usually do. This was also the first time we worked with the amazing Kristina Taheri. What a fantastic coordinator she is. I was able to get all of the info I needed when I needed it and she was always available via phone or email. As a wedding vendor, this is such critical stuff. It really lets us service the bride the way she should be serviced. So, Kristina, thank you:)

We also had the pleasure of working with Deanna Graham. She is such a skilled, professional and calm person. Three traits that you want to see in a wedding photographer! Since the wedding was just yesterday I haven't seen anything yet. I am really looking forward to previewing the shots.

Here are a few snaps that I took myself. As soon as I get some from Deanna I will add them as well.

Consultations

When you meet with us for a consultation...

Consults are not only a great way to see if we are the right company for you, they are a lot of fun. We have two offices to choose from: Campbell and Santa Cruz.

What should you expect?

If this is for hair and makeup, then you should come to the consult with clean/dry hair and no makeup. We aren't a company that likes dirty hair. Don't you want clean hair on your wedding day? You should also wear a white or cream colored shirt. This will help create the same lighting effect on your skin that will happen on your wedding day.

We will talk first about your location, time of ceremony/photos and natural look. From here we will create your look. This can be anything from soft and romantic to something stylized or dramatic. We specialize in a natural look. You will want to feel like yourself on your wedding day and your fiance is going to want to recognize his bride!

After we meet with you there is a follow up conversation or email. This is where we can do some fine tuning. At this point, if you are feeling comfortable with everything, we can cut you a contract to reserve the date.

Here are a few examples of some of the gals we have done over the years. Please keep in mind that I am FAR from a professional photographer. These were done with my very basic camera:)
