Palo Alto Lucie Stern Wedding - Nicole + Roger

September 24, 2019 Michelle Chang

Nicole and Roger are married! I was so happy when Nicole reached out to me earlier this year to photograph her wedding this summer. The previous year I had photographed her sister Sarah's wedding, and I was so excited to able to celebrate with them again this year.

If you remembered Sarah's wedding last year, she is a pro at planning and designing, so of course, she had to help Nicole design her dream wedding. I was so surprised when I arrived and see a plate of flower pedals ready for me to photograph the details. Also, SO impressed with Sarah's husband Yale's floral arrangement ability, he did most of the decorative work!

After getting ready, we traveled from Daly City to the beautiful venue in Palo Alto, Lucie Stern Community Center. Where there were full of lush greenery, and the Spanish-Mediterranean architecture makes it a one of a kind wedding venue.

The highlight of this wedding had to be the surprise at the beginning of the reception. When the bride and groom were first announced, instead of going straight to the sweetheart table, Roger led Nicole to a solitary chair in the middle of the room. Roger proceeded to serenade his new bride with a song that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. Surrounded by her family and friends, Nicole laughed, cried, and loved every note, every lyric, and every word from her high school sweetheart.

I'm so honored to be welcomed back to photograph Nicole and Roger's wedding, to see Sarah and Yale and the family again this year.

Congratulations, Nicole and Roger!
