Lehmann + Phi: Mills College Chapel and Lake Merritt Hotel Wedding In Oakland

From the first time I met Lehmann and Phi, I knew I liked them instantly.  Phi is a total gentleman with the ability to make anyone laugh. Lehmann is so sweet with a heart of gold.  And as a couple, they’re dynamic.  You can see it in the way they look at each other or the exchanged smiles that beam with love for one another.  I knew their wedding would be especially beautiful and it sure was.  From start to finish, I felt so lucky to be a part of their special day.

This past Saturday, surrounded by family and close friends, they exchanged I do’s and became husband and wife.  The ceremony was held at the stunning Mills Chapel in Oakland and the reception was at the Terrace Room at Lake Merritt Hotel.  It was the perfect wedding to start our 2012 season.

Lehmann and Phi, thank you both so much!  I truly loved being a part of your gorgeous wedding day and documenting the special love that you two share.  Wishing you both a lifetime of love and laughter.  Cheers!  xoxo.

Phi arrived and the morning started off with two tea ceremonies.  The first was for Lehmann’s side of the family.

After a few group shots, we headed over to tea ceremony number two with Phi’s family.

Mills Chapel is gorgeous!  It was the perfect backdrop for Lehmann and Phi’s ceremony.

The campus of Mills College had so many perfect areas for their portraits.

Even in the chilly evening, these two were awesome and we headed out for a few more portraits.  The reception got underway and they shared their special first dance.

I’ll end with this picture which pretty much sums up how much fun they are.  Happy Thursday!
