Ashley and Rich | Bella Rosa Livermore Wedding Photographer

Watching a friend get married is an incredible experience. Getting to be front and center to the ENTIRE experience because they entrusted you to be their photographer is WAAAY better. Check out their beautiful San Francisco engagement session here.

Rich and Ashley put together an amazing wedding at the Bella Rosa in Livermore. This was my first time shooting there, and I absolutely fell in love with the venue. The grounds were beautiful, if not a little wet due to the insane rain season we’ve had recently. Rich and Ashley didn’t let a little wet weather get in the way of making the most of their wedding day. Rich sent his best man to deliver a sweet card and beautiful gift to his Bride. Her reaction was one of my all time favorites!! The ceremony was one of the most emotional ones I’ve ever witnessed. Knowing them, and their story, definitely made it hit home for me. I had to wipe a tear or two from my eyes, along with literally everyone in the audience.

Fast forward to the reception, and you can see what a fun group they have assembled to celebrate together. There was a LOT of dancing and awesome moments to document. Rich, being a DJ himself, of course got behind the boards for a bit.

Ashley and Rich, I cannot be happier for you two, and I know the future is bright for your sweet family! Thank you so much for letting me play a role in your wedding!
