I first met Ronda and Andre in 2008, and I knew at that time, they were a very special couple. They had a beautiful intimate wedding at a private residence in Pleasanton, and I felt so honored to be a part of it. 

I absolutely adore the bouquet Ronda put together. As I found out during their engagement session, they are very into the ‘green’ lifestyle and incorporated the theme throughout their wedding. This particular bouquet had artichoke in it. How unique!

 

As always, I love the ‘first looks’.

 

Such an adorable flower girl.

 

Even their dog Satchmo had a role in the wedding day. I love his custom tailored tux and hat.

 

 

Their friends sang “Love me tender” during the ceremony.

 

All the food was vegan, and took me by surprise, as it was really delicious. I think it may be time for me to make a diet change ; )

 

Even the cake was vegan!

 

In honor of her dad’s passing, his best friend flew in from out of state to fill in for the father/daughter dance, such a touching moment.

 

It was ‘really’ hot that day, and the ring bearer/flower girl hopped in the pool after the wedding ended.

 

We headed over to Alviso Adobe Community Park before sunset for a few more portraits.

 

Thanks Ronda and Andre for allowing me to capture your wedding day!

I love dogs. Especially dogs that are so cool and mellow like Satchmo. Ronda and Andre are equally cool people too : ) I spent a few hours with them on a scorching hot Sunday afternoon, and captured some great moments between the two of them.

Ronda and Andre enjoy a very healthy lifestyle, and juicing is a very important part of that lifestyle. Although I didn’t try it, I’ll take their word that their drink was delicious and refreshing.
 

After a quick change, we headed to downtown Pleasanton for some more photos.

 

You guys were awesome, and I can’t wait for your big day on 10/10/10!
