The Lai Wedding in Portola Valley,California and Pulgas Water Temple

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 Posted in Melinda Bunker Photography, Portola Valley California, Pulgas Water Temple Redwood City California, Wedding

I got the chance to photograph the super crazy fun wedding last weekend of Kawai & Matt in Portola Valley, California and the Pulgas Water Temple. It was a hot sunny day perfectly fitting for what these two had plan for their reception…a “wipeout/outdoor sport play theme” and it was amazing! The guests had a blast as did the couple of course and it was pure joy getting to capture their special day for them! Here is a slideshow of some of my images I took from the day. More can be seen by clicking on the slideshow at the end. Blog post of stills coming tomorrow of The Lai Wedding and The Dressler Wedding so keep checking back to my blog! Now…go take a peak at this slideshow- you don’t want to miss this!

Isn’t LOVE beautiful (and this couple!)!

Enjoy,
Melinda

The Wedding of Kaitlyn and Bodey was beautiful, fun and fabulous and as Kaitlyn always says… “You can’t fight fabulous!” and you really can’t with these two amazing people. I had such fun photographing their wedding and will blog the still images next but had to share this slideshow first of some of my favorites images from the perfect day!

Enjoy,
Melinda

I got to spend two amazing days up in the city (SF,CA) a couple of weeks ago learning lighting techniques from one of the most amazing lighting experts in the photography industry; Bob Davis! It was an amazing workshop with lots of hands on learning and also a day of listening to the sweetest and beautiful (inside and out!) women; Dawn Davis, Bob’s wife speak about business and marketing and…life! It was inspiring, moving and I learned SO much! I got challenged and am now challenging myself to be a better photographer thanks to this wonderful workshop! Now, here are some of the pictures I get to share with you that I took while we set out on a bus in SF, California finding the most stunning spots to photograph these two beautiful models. Thanks to Crystelle & Steve for your hard work! The people I got to know at the workshop were so great and spending time with Bob and Dawn is a true gift!

Hope you enjoy these images…

Have a fabulous day,
Melinda

Here is the a recent gallery I did for them. I have newborn ones coming and another photo-shoot of more amazing stuff too by Fabowlousbut here are some of my faves from the last session! Many more coming later this week and weekend! Stay tuned!
