This was our last wedding on 2015, and it was an incredible ending to our 2015 year. Max and Denise sure have family & friends who love to party and celebrate this Union! And it is only fitting that they had their wedding reception at The Union hotel in Occidental, CA
We met Max & Denise for the first time at a sushi lunch date. They booked me months before but we had only skyped each other and this was our first real meeting. The four of us hit it off so well, we laughed and shared tons of stories. We got to know each other pretty well and we walked away and said this wedding will be a fun one and it sure was! These two are amazing for each other. They keep each other balanced and they respect each other and allow each other to be themselves. It was nice to hear that they have already been through lots of life changes and were able to support each other and their needs as they move forward in their careers. It is so important for us to do these lunches or dinners for our clients because it is during this time that we get to know each other so on the wedding day we are able to capture real comfortable emotion and it shows in the final product.
This venue is one of my favorite places to shoot a wedding. The owners are so amazing and work so hard to make the day go just perfect! Susan is my favorite! The Food is amazing and most my clients pick this location based on how good the food is, and it is also very beautiful. I highly recommend this place you can rent out houses to get ready in and as you can see from the photos they are beautiful and overlook the sweet town of Occidental.
Congrats Max & Denise! We LOVE you!!!
