One of my most eventful photography session I’ve had the pleasure of being part of so far. Not being a local, I found the process of scouting  and exploring for locations  in downtown San Jose a lot of fun. From my previous conversations with the bride, Katie, she told me how she and her groom, Anthony wanted “Madmen” type locations for the bridal portraits. In my search I found Hotel Sainte Claire. As soon as I walked into the hotel I knew this was exactly what bride and groom wanted. (I want to take this time to thank Ben the manager for allowing us to use the beautiful space!)

Groom is truly a gentleman! He took a second to pose for me during our bridal portrait session in San Jose, California.

I want to thank Katie and Anthony for being such an incredible couple! I have to give Katie credit, not that many brides will climb a hill in heels to take some photos! Thank you for not killing me! I wish you guys have many more years of happiness and love. I had such a great time photographing you guys. I hope you enjoy the photos! I can’t wait to see you guys next time I’m in town!
