Kristine & Jayson | Skyline Community Church Wedding | Oakland Asian Cultural Center Reception

Kristine and Jayson we married up in the Oakland Hills at the beautiful Skyline Community Church, with it’s expansive views looking over Tilden Park. The reception followed at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center, where the couple went far beyond the standard reception to put on a fantastic show for their guests. The evening included a dramatic entrance with storm troopers, Chinese Lion Dancing, and a Taiko drum performance where Jayson was able to perform for his parents and Kristine for the first time. It was a wonderful personal touch to a rousing and fantastically entertaining evening. Kris and Jayson are such a wonderful pair. I loved how they flawlessly combined the Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian, and Californian feel into a wedding that was perfectly their own.

Thanks to my associate Peter H Chang for his help during the day.

Kris’ handmade gifts for all of the guests made quite an impression.
