Tracy & Thanh’s story is truly romantic one. They had met over a decade ago right when Tracy was about to go to school in Nevada. Thanh felt a connection with her and did not want to let her get away so he maintained contact with her during the years she was in school and once she came back to CA he was never going to let her go :-) Here they are now…married and full of joy! It was so sweet to see moments of the day when Tracy and/or Thanh would be in tears over just how happy they were to be married and to share this day with their family they love so much. It was an honor to get to experience the day with them and to also have come to know them…they are such a sweet couple and I feel lucky to have them as my clients :-)

Tracy & Thanh…I hope you’re having an AMAZING time in Maui! Soooooooooooo jealous!!!!!

I loved the blue & white theme they chose for their wedding!

Tracy’s dress was to DIE for…wait till you see it on!

Just breathtaking!

Married!

I loved how Tracy changed her hair into an updo after the ceremony!

Her girls were SO gorgeous as well! Their dresses were co chic & elegant..

I don’t know why but i just love this image!

Love these next two! The light was just perfect that day…

So cute!

Soft light right before sunset…my fav!

This was my first time shooting at the Balboa Bay Club and I loved it there!

I loved all the details! The lighting of course transformed the room into a winter wonderland…

The Groom’s Cake done by Linda Nguyen and cute little mini versions of Thanh & Tracy!

This cake might be my most favorite cake I’ve ever photographed…it looked like it belonged on the runway!

Check out the detail on the cake…Melody from My Sweet & Saucy did a fantastic job!

Love this image of their first dance!

Okay…last shot of the cake…lol!

What a charming wedding! I love how Nancy & Dave incorporated their love of music into their special day. They wanted their wedding to feel a like concert so they passed out programs, “backstage” passes, glow sticks, and had their favorite bands as table names at the reception. Nancy & Dave are so thoughtful they even made a special backstage pass for me with “rad photographer” on it……awwwwww…I love them!

Nancy & Dave, you guys are just awesome…no, you guys are SOOOOO RAD!!! Thank you for being so sweet to me in the short few months that we’ve worked together. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you both…xoxoxo

Now for the goods! Warning…lots of detail shots…I couldn’t resist! Seven Degrees is one of my favorite venues!

I loved this belt that Nancy wore…just the right amount of bling!

Her headpiece was to die for!

Nancy looked absolutely stunning!

Luckily Nancy & Dave chose to see each other before hand since they were having an evening ceremony…

I just loved Nancy’s whole ensemble!

The iconic blue mosaic wall at Seven Degrees!

Love this!

Lighting is everything and the peeps at Seven Degrees know this :-)

The programs!

Dave awaiting his beautiful bride :-)

Nancy & Dave both got emotional during their written vows…so cute! Dave promised Nancy he would always remember to take his vitamins….so cute! He did get a little ribbing from his guys friends about that line though ;-)

Loved all the personalized details! It’s all in the details…

The blue light is my fav!

Right before the grand entrance everyone took out their glowsticks…love it!

Dave’s dad had some very cute stories about Dave growing up including Dave’s highlights as a little league baseball player and his awesome fishing skills :-) You could tell just how proud his dad was of him…love it!

Who’s better at what? That was the name of this game ;-)

The end :-)

Special thanks to Cortney Helaine Events for making the day go as smoothly as possible and to Seven Degrees for lighting & event decor.

Cortney: Trista, These photos are amazing! You did such a great job not only capturing the details but also those little moments between Dave and Nancy! Wow I am absolutely amazed. Your professionalism and personality was the best to work with and without a doubt I will be recommending you to my clients in the future! November 30, 2011 11:25 am
