Sharon and Chadd’s Nestldown Wedding Fantasia

Sharon and Chadd got hitched in the magical setting of Nestldown, in the hills of Los Gatos. Photographers themselves, we were very flattered when they picked us to capture this momentous wedding day. Nestldown is an amazing venue, with its whimsical fairy-tale cottage, mini-train, London Cab, and animal statues, this day turned out to be a photographer's dream. Sharon got ready in the main house with her bridesmaids and family in attendance. Chadd arrived ready for a first glimpse of his soon-to-be bride. They were driven in the London Cab to the "Chapel" of towering redwoods and were married by Chadd's father in a touching ceremony. Later, a bagpiper played as the wedding ceremony ended and guests made their way to the lawn where we photographed all the guests as one big group. (Marcel on a ladder, Meher holding on to it for what it was worth.) Later Sharon and Chadd arrived at their cocktail hour in the mini-train and mingled before proceeding to dinner, toasts and dancing. In between the different events we had some time with the beautiful couple and the wedding party to take advantage of Nestldown's enchanted locations for some great glam shots. Sharon and Chadd had put a lot of thought into the smallest details of their day, from engraved wine goblets as party favors, to giant wine glasses for each of them, to matching pocket watches for the groomsmen. It was a real pleasure to work with this lovely couple and be a part of their special day. Click here to watch Sharon and Chadd's slide-show
