This December wedding was shot entirely indoors. On their wedding day the rain poured as if someone had tipped a bucket over the Bay Area. But rain on your wedding day is good luck. And Sonia & David didn't let a little bit of water get in the way of their special day!
They started the day at the Embassy Suites in South San Francisco, where the bride, groom and bridal party got ready. Sonia's gown was just beautiful! It looked stunning on her, but can hold its own, too. :)

Since the weather wasn't cooperating, we did a short bridal session in the hotel lobby.

Sonia, you're sooo beautiful!

Given the time of year, hotel decorations had a few seasonal touches. All very elegant and they didn't mind us moving around furniture and props in the foyer to get the shots we wants, so thumbs up for Embassy Suites!

At the South San Francisco Conference Center, Sonia & David had a very lovely cocktail hour area, decorated with, among other things, their engagement photos. :)

Absolutely gorgeous centerpieces at the tables!

After the cocktail reception, it was time for the Chinese tea ceremony.

During the reception, David and Sonia were to play a game.

It came as a surprise to the newlyweds.

David, wearing a blindfold, had to pick Sonia out of a line of some 20 women, merely by shaking hands with each one. And here comes Sonia.

He takes her hand and doesn't let go. "That's her. She's the one!" And so she is!

A little girl playing with beads--I couldn't resist!

And who is that dancing? you might ask. Well, it turns out that Sonia's maid of honor, her sister, is also a ballroom dancer, and she put on a performance--an amazing one at that--for Sonia & David.
