This is another fabulous wedding that I was asked to 2nd shoot with Charleton Churchill on July 17th. The ceremony took place at the St. Martin Catholic Church in Sunnyvale and the reception was held at the GORGEOUS Los Altos History Museum. As Lena got ready in her hotel room, droves of family and friends filtered through, each gasping at how beautiful she looked in her fitted, modern wedding dress. As Lena walked down the aisle towards Phil, Phil could not help but to smile with joy as his fiance (for the last few moments) approached flanked by her proud mother and brother. Later in the evening, the reception was MC’ed by friends of the couple and jokes were plentiful. We learned of Phil’s first car, how Lena and Phil met (both working at Lockheed Martin), and a funny, yet heartwarming story of how Phil had Lena pick him up before his friends forced him to go to a strip club. Ever the gentleman, Charleton later approached Phil, shook his hand, and assured him that it was a sign of his character and committment to his now wife.
This wedding, I tried to take a few photos of Charleton in action. I am very grateful for the opportunities that he has afforded me and I love working with him as a 2nd photographer. He makes each wedding day a fun and lighthearted event, even going as far as saying “yes” when asked to take a snapshot with a guest’s pink camera!
Enjoy, and make sure to check out even more fabulous photos from this wedding on Charleton’s blog!
^ Silly Charleton….don’t ask me to hold your fisheye and expect me not to use it!
