What are the odds that a handsome man from the Spanish Basque country would meet a beautiful Spanish Basque girl from America? Pretty darn good as this union is living proof. The groom’s family traveled from their Spanish hometown located around the western end of the Pyrenees on the coast of the Bay of Biscay. It is customary in the Basque culture to have the mother of the groom step in as his best man. The spirit of the day was something to be bottled and cherished forever as these two families celebrated the joining of their loved ones. It’s funny how joyful celebrations tend to break language barriers and how wine, music, and laughter can bring people together in ways no other situations can. The bride asked me to specifically capture this wedding photo journalistically and capture the true essence of their day. This was the kind of event that left people filled with a renewed sense of energy and appreciation and I am super lucky to have been a part of it.
I have to give a shout out to my amazing husband who 2nd shot this wedding for me. He is super proficient behind the lens and has shot a ton of film in his lifetime. It was a blast having him by my side as my shooting partner to capture different perspectives. Thanks babe!
Venue: Hotel de Anza (Amazing place to check out if you’re in the San Jose area)
Florist: Array of Flowers (Note the amazing floral touches…these guys know their petals)
Music: 8 Track Massacre (Ok…these guys are THE wedding band. They rocked the house. Look them up. Follow them. Become a groupie. They’re that good.)
Enter the love…

The bride is just glowing. You captured such wonderful moments!!!
Gorgeous couple, such wonderful wedding captures!!!
This is the bride =) Joanna and her husband did an AMAZING job!!!!! I am so HAPPY with their work. When she asked me what I was looking for, I told her, “I do not want your typical wedding photo’s, I wanted them to all be candid and not planned or posed!”. That’s all I gave her, I wasn’t very helpful at all. She took it and ran with it. She got me exactly what I was looking for!!! I honestly don’t think anyone could have topped her work, she has an amazing eye for capturing the best moments and everyone’s sole, this sounds totally cheesey, but VERY true =) We are so blessed to have had such an amazing day captured by she and her husband’s exceptionally talented work! Thank you both for all of your hard work!
XOXO -Jackie & Inaki
