The Spinnaker Restaurant in Sausalito, CA is a great place to have your wedding. Everything you can ask for is there including dreamlike backdrops, scenery and water. Lighting can be a challenge depending on the time of day, so you really want to hire a photographer that knows the ropes and one that can deal with harsh, bright lighting coming in through the towering bay windows. There is, however a perfect time to take pictures and when that time comes, you have to be willing to drop whatever you are doing and go take the pictures.
Below are some of my favorite wedding photos of Marisa and Joe, one of my most favorite couples of 2009. I took over one thousand wedding pictures for the lovely couple. What you see below is straight from Lightroom, Level 1 editing/processing. No Photoshop or retouching was done to any of these. I get amazing quality shooting in RAW and personally editing and processing your images. Bypassing Photoshop saves the bride a TON of cash. Besides, you can always choose your favorite 100 or so to be retouched/further refined at a later date for much less it would cost me to open each one in Photoshop as part of the package.
The bride got ready at a bread and breakfast in Sausalito, CA. For the privacy of all involved, it was recommended that I not divulge this location.
Following the bridal prep, we headed over to the Spinnaker Restaurant for both the ceremony and reception. Of course, the guys had their moment in the spotlight. The groom’s pictures turned out absolutely wonderful.
After the ceremony we took some photos at the Fountain that is in the center of Broadway Sausalito.Those are just some of my favorites. Click on the image below to see many more images from this wedding.
