Beautiful Winter Wedding in San Jose

Being that Jason is a beloved, extremely talented, and well sought after DJ in the wedding and event industry, as well as a good friend of mine, I’m sure you could imagine that it was quite the honor when he asked if I would photograph his and Laura’s wedding last month!

Jason and Laura pulled out all the stops when it came to the event professionals that came together that night to make their wedding amazing!  From the flowers, to the lighting, to the ceremony and reception details, the cake, the music, even Laura’s amazing dress, it was all off the hook fabulous!  And it certainly didn’t hurt that Jason and Laura are a stunningly beautiful couple!

Their day was filled with an energy and love like no other.  The amazing artists that set the stage with beautiful details, combined with the love of family and close friends abuzz with an infections joy made my job extraordinarily easy!  Beautiful smiling faces, under gorgeous light, what more could a photographer ask for?!

Here are a handful of our favorite images from this truly astonishing wedding!
