Who would have guessed that the East Bay Area would be home to a stunning redwood park? Ashley and Nico celebrated their engagement amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Oakland Redwoods. As an engagement and wedding photographer with a keen eye for capturing love stories, I couldn’t have asked for a better setting.

From the moment I arrived at the venue, I knew that this wedding would be different. Disco balls adorned the tables and entry tables, handmade paper flowers set as the sweetheart table backdrop; and what’s a wedding without a full blown pretzel bar?! It was as if the couple had transported their guests to a whimsical wonderland, where joy and celebration were the only things that mattered.

To say I am obsessed with this wedding day would be an understatement. I want to share with you an incredible experience I had the pleasure of being a part of: Shaneel and Gemi’s breathtaking coastal wedding at the Pacific House in the heart of Monterey, CA. As a wedding photographer and videographer, we had the honor of capturing their special day through both photographs and film.
