Chaminade Resort Wedding Photography by Expressive Photographics

Wedding
August 25, 2013

Some of the things I love about doing Chaminade Resort wedding photography, are the stunning views of the Monterey Bay, and all the amazing photo-opportunities that come with capturing the sweet moments of weddings at one of the best Santa Cruz wedding venues. Chaminade Resort and Spa has been hosting incredibly beautiful weddings and events for decades, and their staff knows what it takes to make amazing Santa Cruz Weddings happen! Bring together the know-how of the dedicated Chaminade staff with the unique style and flair of this international(Uruguay and Mexico) couple, in this truly beautiful setting overlooking the bay, and nuptial magic is going to unfold! I feel so very fortunate that Andres and Gabby selected Expressive Photographics, to capture the amazing moments of their wedding day!

Their Big Day was truly a delight to witness and capture with my cameras. So many fine people came from far away places to celebrate with Andres and Gabby, and I hope you can feel the energy captured in this gallery of my Chaminade Resort wedding photography! We also did a super-cool San Francisco engagement photo session, which you can check out here. Also, please feel free to enjoy the full screen viewing of these and more wedding images, by following the link to our Google gallery, at the end of this post. And now, please enjoy the beautiful wedding of Andres and Gabby, at one of the finest Santa Cruz wedding venues, Chaminade Resort and Spa.

I will add a word of wedding caution here… An all too common challenge that I experience as a wedding photographer, is when the bride ends up being late for her pre-ceremony photo session. On this otherwise perfect wedding day, our bride was made over an hour late, due to the makeup and hair taking longer than expected. Of course, as a professional photographer I have become very good at playing “catch-up” after brides are made late by makeup and hair preparation, but there are things brides-to-be can do to help keep their preparations on-time. The most effective way to prevent late hair and makeup completion, is to clearly communicate to your stylists about your timeline and the importance of being on-time for your photo-session. If you want more helpful tips for making the photography of your wedding flow smoothly, please contact me. I’m always happy to help!

One of the unique things about this wedding ceremony, at Chaminade Resort and Spa, is how the ceremony occurred during the transition time, when day turns to twilight. This is a beautiful time of day for a wedding, but be sure to do most of your group photos BEFORE your ceremony - so you have enough light to get great results!
