Jose and Vivian's First Anniversary Renewal of Vows Sneak Peek...

Here is Jose and Vivian's First Anniversary Renewal of Vows Sneak Peek at Scribner Bend Vineyards...

It's times like this that I really LOVE my job! I believe a wedding photographer should be chosen with the future in mind. It is an honor to be able to be apart of the most important day of a couples life and to be able to follow them in their lives capturing all their important events. I was so excited the first time I met Jose and Vivian and they hired me to photograph their wedding on May 16th, 2010. We had a blast shooting their engagement shoot in Old Sacramento (believe it or not it was my very first shoot in Old Sac and has become to hottest most popular place for my clients to choose to do their engagements!) (To view Jose and Vivian's engagement shoot on this blog go to: http://amomentofjoyweddings.blogspot.com/2010/08/jose-and-vivians-engagements-in-old.html )

When their wedding came it was beautiful and Jose and Vivian were awesome and became two of some of my favorite clients. I still show their album to potential clients when they interview me for their wedding. (To view Jose and Vivian's wedding on the blog go to: http://amomentofjoyweddings.blogspot.com/2010/08/jose-and-vivan-married-and-on-blog.html )Anyways...I know that my brides and grooms become close to my heart, but it is thrilling and job rewarding to know that they bring me back for their milestones in their life.

I was asked a month ago to photograph the private and intimate First Anniversary Renewal of Vows for Jose and Vivian. It is rewarding to me to be chosen to be there for these moments...as you can see Vivian is pregnant so I am looking forward to their next milestone photo shoot we will have in a few months.

So here we go...Vivian walking down the isle a year after the first time...

These are some of my favorite. Jose and Vivian from their very first shoot with me did perfect "movie" like photo's...which means they are SO interactive with each other that if you take 10 photo's in a row quickly...it's like watching a movie!!!

Here are some formals we did at the vineyard...we had 45 minutes of a break in the rain...you can see the clouds coming in...as we got in our cars when we were done...they rain came down...and frankly since this was just last Sunday..it hasn't stopped since!

If you are a follower of my blog or Facebook you might remember Jose and Vivian's AWESOME dipping pictures in their engagement shoot...so we wanted to try it again...pregnant and all!

And here again is the "movie" pictures again...just perfect...

These are so cute...

These are my FAVORITE of the whole day...

Vivian carried the dried bouquet that she carried on her wedding day...

Thank you Jose and Vivian for asking me back to share your special day with me so I could share it with you with my gift of photography!!! See you in July!!!

Here is just about my favorite dress picture EVER!

Vivian's dress was stunning...

Here are a few details...

Just LOVE this shot of Vivian adoring her dress before slipping it on...

Here are a few details of getting ready...

Now I have included these gift exchange pictures because the expressions on these two's faces as the are receiving wedding day gifts from each other is priceless..and to be honest...these may be my favorites of the whole wedding...

Here come the beautiful girls...

Here are a few of Vivian's formals prior to marrying her man...

Theses pictures of wedding party are just so fun! We had a blast taking these!

This picture was Jose's request...he wanted one picture of the guys just a walkin' on the green...

Here are the wedding moments that my assistant Dina and I captured...

Vivian's last moments as her daddy's little girl... PRICELESS...

Jose watching his bride walk the isle as he gets his first look at Vivian..

A close up of the hand off between father and daughter to the groom...

Now kids always in a wedding provide a side show to a wedding...this side show was the grooms son picking a few flowers for his sister...by the way, I only included this happening once, he picked flowers OVER AND OVER for his sister...

Here is the exchange of the rings...

And just about my favorite moment of all...the releasing of butterflies...as they all flew away, one landed on my shoulder for just a moment or two, reminding me of someone special...

Here are the bride and groom running down the golf course hill...

More formals... (FYI...this is a bluesy photo shop tone, one of my favorite that we use in my weddings)...

This is a NEW vintage tone that we used for Vivian and Jose for the first time...I love it...

Here are some moments of the reception that I love, I told you I had a hard time deciding what to put in the post and what to leave out! I meant it!!!

Here are some moments captured during the toast...

Here are some awesome shots of the bouquet toss, if you look closely the girls are all wearing bridal veils on hte heads and are actually dancing in a circle around the bride as she temps them that she is tossing the bouquet out to them...

And here is the REAL thing in action...

The guys did something very similar, only they wore aprons, got a lot of good shots of Jose with the guys...

And there you have it ... Jose and Vivian MARRIED and on the blog!!! Please let me know what you think in the comment area below...thanks!!!!
