from the photographer... "When Stephen and I walked into their reception at Casa Real in Pleasanton, our jaws dropped! There were so many details literally hanging from floor to ceiling!! The work that went into making this room a sight to see was so worth it! Guests walked in and felt like they were attending the party of the year, it was just incredible! When we arrived both the girls and guys were getting ready. Jasmine was finishing up her makeup, calm as can be. Just a few weeks prior, Jasmine and her mom left the country to pick up Jasmine's custom designed wedding dress from the Phillippines. That's right, Jasmine flew all the way across the world to pick up her dress. Jasmine's family is from the Phillippines and it was extra special that her mother insisted her dress be created in the same place!"

"Each group headed to the church in style with a limo shuttling the family and bridal party around. After the ceremony, we met back up with Zi and Jasmine for lots of portraits around the gorgeous Casa Real Winery. While we were taking pictures of these two, the staff at Casa Real was serving delicious drinks and appetizers to guests inside. Zi and Jasmine even had a boba tea bar for guests to enjoy. How cool is that? We love boba and thought it was pretty neat to include that! Everywhere you looked in the reception hall was decorated! Crystal and her team from Amazae Events did a beautiful job designing and executing Zi and Jasmine's vision for their wedding! There were Edison bulb chandeliers (like the one in our living room) hanging from the ceiling, with gorgeous greenery on top. Each centerpiece was fully decorated with perfectly styled details and china. There wasn't an inch of their reception that wasn't well thought out. It created such a beautiful atmosphere for guests to enjoy the night!"
