Andrea and Mike, a couple of East coast natives turned LA residents, hooked us for their Bay Area wedding. The ceremony took place at Our Lady of Lourdes Cathedral in Oakland. Reception was to be shot at Riva Cucina in the Berkeley warehouse district. The ceremony was a traditional Catholic event and an overall small gathering of folks. Afterwards, we had initially planned to photograph the wedding party around Lake Merritt but due to construction we were forced to come up with something on the fly
After much consideration, we arrived on Middle Harbor park near the Port of Oakland. This location provided great views of the bay and pleased the wedding party to no end. Tim, the best man, a former Coast Guard sailor was ripe with information regarding the docks and their workings. Even though changing locations was stressful, Chris and I rolled with punches and yielded great results.
The reception which followed was filled with wonderful people and thanks to B.M.O.C. Rocco all parties had a memorable experience.
More weddings to come this Summer.
Stay up.
