Chris had proposed to Tina while they were in Yosemite on a camping trip. He asked her to marry him at Glazer Point. After being together for 5 years, she said yes and they decided to tie the knot two weeks ago on October 29th. Each of the tables at the Brazillian Room were marked with the names of the different places they’ve hiked at. Ornate little pumpkins marked the guest’s names and their assigned table.
I arrived in Berkeley to find everyone busy getting ready for the ceremony.
The ceremony was quite beautiful with the sun casting a warm glow on everyone who witnessed it.
Their son Grant participated in the sand ceremony. It’s a ceremony where Chris, Tina, and Grant pour sand into a jar with the idea that their marriage, like the grains of sand, once combined, would be impossible to separate.
Everyone rushed in to congratulate the couple after the ceremony. There were lots of heartfelt emotions. Chris and Tine celebrated their marriage with a very joyful group of people!
As the guest began to come inside for the reception, we took a few minutes to take a few portraits of the newlyweds.
Tina took a opportunity to relax a bit before the couple made their grand entrance.
The evening continued on with beautiful toasts made by both Dads, Chris’s brother, and Tina’s sister.
Later in the evening, Tina changed into her Korean Hanbok and visited her guests at each table.
The it was time for the party to begin!
