I love working at the Brazil Room in Tilden park. The little building nestled among the trees in the huge open space is a world apart from the bustling bay area just outside. It’s wonderful to roll out my front door and 5 minutes later be ready to take pictures. Of course, it gets even better with clients like Heather and Chris. I have known Heather’s family for years, since I played clarinet with her sister Lindsay in the 4th grade band, and babysat her younger brother Joel. A decade later, we’ve all grown up- and it was such a treat to see the family again. Chris and his family were a wonderful addition to the group, and a joy to meet as well.
We braved the summer heat and harsh sun for an early Sunday wedding after getting ready at the Hotel Durant in downtown Berkeley. The day was simple, but genuine and absolutely wonderful. Below are a few of my favorite shots. Thanks also to Peter H. Chang for his help during the day.

Thanks to the coordinator Leah Bertoli for her help during the day, and for the loan of the great parasols. Beautiful, and they made a great diffuser for photos in the bright high-noon sun.
