You couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful spring day for Maria and Frank’s gorgeous wedding at Silver Creek Valley Country Club! The couple, along with their family and close friends, got ready at the magnificent Dolce Hayes Mansion in San Jose. The suites at this old world home, transformed into hotel and wedding and event venue, are nothing short of breath taking, and make for an amazing backdrop for getting ready photos and portraits of the bride and groom!
After getting ready at the Hayes Mansion Maria and Frank and their wedding party headed to Silver Creek for their beautiful ceremony on the lawn next to the waterfall! This was my first time shooting a wedding at this venue, and I must say I was thrilled by how beautiful the property was, and how amazing the staff was to work with! Heck, even the chef came out from the kitchen and asked us what we wanted to eat, and told us that we would be stoked with what he was preparing for us! He said his goal was that we would leave the wedding excited to tell other future vendors that Silver Creek take great care of us too! And boy did they! The food was amazing! We were served and taken care of as if we were their honored guests. I love it when a venue treats its vendors as business partners! It helps us all work so well together with taking good care of our mutual client!
Well fed and reenergized we headed back to the reception, that of course, was fun and so full of energy! My good friend Max from Gatsby Entertainment was the DJ for the evening, and of course he killed it! The dance floor never stopped all night long!
Here are a handful of my favorite moments of Maria and Frank’s big day! Enjoy!
