Helene told me that she is a make up artist the first time I meet her. I could't helped but kept starring at her model like body and thought "geee... sweet". Jason wasn't there the first we meet but I asked Helene for his photo. KaChun, tall handsome man. Well I couldn't tell hisbody height from a picture, I asked Helene. I was so excited and so eager to get on board to shoot their wedding. I guess Helene could see that from my face of how bad I wanted it. A big ear puppy jumpped around a beautiful girl sticking out long tougne and swinging mouth water all over. I can't help, it was the kind of wedding that we professional photographers looking forward to shoot.
In the wedding day, I arrived to Sainte Claire Hotel a whole an hour and a half earlier!! I just can't wait. When I got to the suite, the first thing I ask Helene was "where is the wedding gown?". I knew she is an artist, but deep down I still worried that how the gown look. My worry was totally un-necessary!!! The gown was beautiful and it was one of the best I have seen in my career.
The hotel, Sainte Claire Hotel. Sitting in the middle of the downtown San Jose. CLASSIC! Beaiful inside out! I don't even need to going anywhere for portrait. I did it right in front it. Couldn't find anything better than this, one of my favor city backdrop. See it yourself.
I took my iPhone out from my pocket, it read 11:55am August 2nd, our contract end at 11:00pm so I had ran over almost an hour for this lovely couple already. But it was a busy wedding day and we didn't have time to do the night portrait till now. And the party was just began on the dance floor. I couldn't care about my signed up time anymore, got to finish it. So, I pulled Helene and Jason out from reception party we rushed out for some night portrait. Downtown San Jose is so gorgous in the midnight. I love city night live, I love my shoots.
12:30pm Mission Accomplished
