Lynda and Sai got married at Morris Chapel yesterday and it couldn’t have been any more beautiful. Lynda looked like she walked out of a bridal wedding magazine in her lacy trumpet wedding dress, Badly Mischka heels and long cathedral veil.

At 10AM when we got to the University Plaza Hotel, Henry took off to photograph the guys while I went to meet up with the girls. I always start with the details shots first. Those are the shoes, the bouquet, jewelries, the customized hangers, the wedding dress, the rings and anything else that my bride put so much time and details into planning. university plaza hotel wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-4university plaza hotel wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-1-3

Then it’s time to take pretty photos of the bride and her entourage. The best thing about the University Plaza Hotel is that every room has these huge windows that give us so much natural light to work with. Here are more gorgeous shots at the University Plaza as the bride and her bridesmaid was getting ready for the big day:university plaza hotel wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-1-4university plaza hotel wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-1

Meanwhile, the guys are all done and out of the hotel room, ready to head out to Morris Chapel at UOP for the wedding ceremony.

After the ceremony, the couple had a bubble exit. All of their friends and family lined up on each side to celebrate their union. The sun was shining warmly as they walked out for the first time as Mr. & Mrs. Suriyan. Morris Chapel University of Pacific wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-6Morris Chapel University of Pacific wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-7

Before everyone left, we gathered them all for a large group picture:

Then it’s pictures with the groom’s family and the bride’s family:Morris Chapel University of Pacific wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-13Morris Chapel University of Pacific wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-20Morris Chapel University of Pacific wedding engagement sacramento stockton california photographer-19 Once we were done with family and friend’s photos, we headed back into the church to take photos before the next wedding party came along. What I love most about Morris Chapel, dark as it is inside, it has a balcony that you can go up to. From there, you can get a full view of the ceremony that’s happening down below. It was these amazing stained glass windows that gives off the most beautiful light as well.

The best thing about Morris Chapel of course, is that it is located on the University of the Pacific campus. So there’s no need to go far to get really beautiful backdrops for wedding photos. There were 2 quinceanera parties there taking photos at the same time but it didn’t interfere with us at all. We just went to the side of the lawn and it is still beautiful and clean.
