Janice & Cody’s Sweet Rengstorff Wedding

We simply couldn’t wait to return to Rengstorff House to capture Janice and Cody’s big day.  These two are just so cute together, and we knew every moment would be magical (just like their engagement shoot at Sutro Baths!).

The day started with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, followed by an intimate outdoor ceremony.  The couple both love watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, so right before being announced as husband and wife, the officiant handed a red rose boutonniere to Janice.  She then turned to Cody and asked, “Will you accept this last rose?”  It got a huge laugh, and it was a unique and cute way to bring in their combined interest.

It was a beautiful day for a truly beautiful couple.  Congratulations, Janice and Cody!

Jessica & Aidan’s Sweet, Casual Garden Wedding

One of the great things about shooting at the same venue is seeing how each couple can make it their own.  Jessica & Aidan made the grounds of the Rengstorff House in Mountain View feel like their own backyard!  They had lawn games for the kids, a delicious buffet, an ice cream cart, and lots of great music for their guests to enjoy.  It was all around relaxing and just plain happy!  Of course, everyone could feel the love between these two.  They really are each other’s best friends.

The ceremony was very sweet, and the officiant was a friend of the couple who was expecting – and her due date was the day of the wedding!  Luckily, the little one chose to wait a little while longer before greeting the world – though that would have made for a great story!  Jessica and Aidan also brought in a little nightstand for decoration (and to hold the rings and bouquet), which looked beautiful.  It’s definitely an idea we’d love to steal!  For music, the groom’s brother played the bagpipe!

Everyone at the wedding felt like family – including us!  It was just an absolutely beautiful day with a beautiful couple.
