It wasn’t THE day, not quite yet … but very very soon they would be married, joined by their families for the grand celebration and enjoy their “happily ever after.”
Before the commotion of the wedding day would begin Mike and Amy wanted to document the current slice of their lifetime together, the beginning of their new adventures together.
We have arranged to meet on the Oakland LDS Temple grounds an evening leading to their ceremony and have some fun taking pictures without worrying too much about time. You could feel the sense of excitement and enthusiasm about this couple; the air around us was filled with laughter and joy.
The soft evening light was basking my soon-to-be-newlyweds in it’s pleasing orange glow, the golden sunset overlooking the bay was sealed with a sweet kiss.
On their wedding day, Mike and Amy celebrated in a hall filled with beautiful antiques and vintage items. Vintage and antique items always are great at wedding receptions. Antiques show class. They are a throwback to earlier times. They are a reminder of the past.
Ironical, they remind us of when ‘things’ didn’t matter as much. They remind of us of when family was the most important thing. With that spirit Mike and Amy wanted to start theirs.

And pictures that I take of my husband on a weekly basis while tinckering with my equipment don’t count – the slightly annoyed look on his face doesn’t appeal to most people. So the day of the assigment came…
