Let me share a glimpse into the delightful world of C & J, the dynamic duo who found love at San Jose State University. Both initially shy in front of the camera, their connection swiftly dissolved any reservations. Witnessing their ease and comfort with each other during their engagement photos was a testament to the genuine bond they share.

On their wedding day, every detail echoed their unique love story. The day kicked off with a whirlwind of activity as my second shooter and I split up to capture the intimate moments of getting ready. While C exuded elegance, sharing laughs with her bridesmaids, J and his groomsmen found themselves in a comical scramble, watching YouTube tutorials on tying ties. These candid moments perfectly encapsulated their personalities, providing endless amusement as I clicked away.

As the ceremony unfolded, their heartfelt personal vows and love story evoked a range of emotions from guests, including tears and laughter, which resonated deeply with me as well. Transitioning into the reception, C stole the show in her second dress, shining just as brightly as her vibrant personality. We took advantage of a break to sneak away for some quick sunset photos, the evening sky providing a breathtaking backdrop. In those fleeting moments, C and J reveled in their newlywed bliss, creating timeless memories against the stunning sunset.

J’s past as a barista shone through in the adorable notes he penned on coffee cups for C, a charming touch reflecting their sweet connection. As avid anime lovers, their passion extended to the wedding details, with seating charts creatively designed around their favorite anime themes. However, what truly set their celebration apart was their infectious joy and love for fun. Choreographing not one but three dances, including a spirited grand entrance to BTS’ “Permission to Dance,” they injected extra energy and laughter into the day. From the first dance to the last, and every moment on the open dance floor, C & J infused their wedding with a vibrant spirit that radiated through every photograph, capturing memories as lively and unique as their love story. Join us on this visual journey through their celebration!
