The Oakland Temple was a great place for wedding photographs today, and the weather gods sure smiled on us today. My assistant and I drove up from San Jose where it was about 75-80 degrees, while some of the wedding party heading down from Ft Bragg/Redding endured lots of rain on the way to Oakland. Luckily we ended up with temps in the mid/high 70s, and at times the clouds came over & the breeze came up. Our wedding for the day was for Kimberly & Eric, who we did engagement photos for while out in Prov0.
We got there a little early to do a little location scouting. I love getting to a location early (even places I’ve photographed before) as it gives me a chance to scout out new locations or angles. I’ve found doing this allows me to get unique photographs for each client though I may have photographed that same location many times before. Arriving plenty early also gives me a little buffer time in the event there is bad traffic or something like that.
Since they had the only wedding that afternoon, they were spoiled in a big way, since we didn’t have to wait for people to move out of our way or speed up our formals to give the other brides & grooms a chance to have their images taken. We also were able to wonder around the grounds and enjoy the day.
Big thanks to Shane for coming out again and helping out with the wedding.
And for fun we have a couple “behind the scenes” shots from the day.
