Michelle and Henry chose the gorgeous setting of the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay to celebrate their marriage. It was a crisp and clear morning, and Geoff and I were there to capture everything. We got to know this sweet couple a few months back at their engagement session at Stanford. Michelle and Henry are both very laid back and easy going.

Michelle chose very cute pewter cocktail dresses for her bridesmaids. The orange bouquets really pop against the dresses.

The florist lined the ceremony aisle with fresh rose petals and then finished the look with a circle of rose petals. Simple, yet adds a nice splash of color. At the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton, there are 2 outdoor locations you can choose from, the gazebo area or the bluffs. Both are gorgeous!

Michelle and Henry had a very brief ceremony in the late morning. While most of Henry’s family is from Saratoga, Michelle’s family traveled from overseas to be  with her on her wedding day. As always, Tony White was there to ensure everything ran smoothly!

Michelle has a great smile! So does Henry!

We love to take couples out to the bluffs area to get a nice portrait of the couple on their wedding day with the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton in the backdrop.

The decor was simple yet elegant. Red was the theme color, perfect for a fall wedding.

Look at the cute little crystal teddy bears Michelle and Henry used for their cake topper? The little wrapped package cake is a signature element of Elegant Cheesecakes. Yum!

After the toasts Michelle changed into a traditional red dress, which looked stunning on her. Congratulations Michelle & Henry!
