Holly and Tod Wedding

Last Saturday I traveled to Manteca photograph Holly and Tod’s wedding in the beautiful St. Paul’s United Methodist Church with the Reverand Judith Bither officiating. It was the first time I had the pleasure of meeting Holly and Tod and they were such a nice, friendly, and happy couple. I arrived about an hour and half before I was to start shooting so I could check out the church lighting and then went to Chez Shari, where the reception was to be held. It’s located above the pro shop in a beautiful setting on the Manteca Golf Course. There I met John Guinta, the Catering Manager and DJ. He showed me a nice nearby spot on the lake where I could take Holly and Tod for some beautiful photos around sunset. John was very professional and did a great job DJ’ing the wedding.
I went back to the church as it was time to get some nice shots of Holly getting ready with all her bridesmaids and Tod and his groomsmen. The wedding was gorgeous and went off without a hitch, although starting a little late, as they usually do. At the reception, there were about 160 guests, the Chez Shari was packed, and everyone was having a great time. Delicious food and a great place for a reception. I enjoyed meeting many of their friends and family while roaming around shooting all the candid and traditional shots at the reception. Sure was fun! I’ve posted a few of the photos below. After I finish processing the photos, (I’m a tad behing schedule ’cause I gotta get my taxes done, yuk) they will all be available for viewing online at Pictage, within 2 weeks.
