Hotel Valencia on Santana Row, San Jose

Shanna & Shawn's wedding day was a gorgeous affair at the Hotel Valencia on Santana Row in San Jose!

The area was fantastic for portraits - especially for a fun couple who enjoyed walking around the area and getting lots of attention from shoppers, restaurant-goers and bar-hoppers!



We started the day off with a fun photo - Shanna in her sexy little bride shirt! I must get these for all my brides!

OK, you all must know I am a NUT for silhouettes!
This is my newest favorite image EVER! Homage goes to some brilliant Australian photographers for the inspiration. I was so lucky the Hotel Valencia has some really cool lighting to pull this off in the hallway, no less!
And they all wore FLIP-FLOPS!

Here's the coolest elevator area you ever saw - awesome mirror!
Right across the street was this nifty wall. Now, isnt this better than a traditional photograph?

My associate Joel took this fisheye of the couple in the grass island - we had to dodge a few cars but it was worth it. Check out Joel's website!


This was perfect the "SR" is not just for Santana Row but also serves as the couples initials!


The photograph below was taken when the dj, Tony, arranged a special gathering of all the guests around the couple. Totally fun!

Tony was AWESOME - very fun, engaging and played fantastic tunes while getting all the guests to dance. Check his website out:
