Robert Valdes Wedding Photographer San Francisco Bay Area

I’ve shot many weddings in my career at the glorious Ruby Hill Golf Club in Pleasanton, CA. Here are some recent images from the wedding of David & Janice. I also have a gallery of these wedding images on my main wedding photography website.

Just curious if anyone out there cares for pictures like this. I don’t do tons of stuff from the ground but when I do, I want it to be BIG TIME!!!!! Let me know what you think!

Here are some sample wedding album magazine style digital design from a wedding I photographed back in 2004. So the designs actually don’t reflect my current design style. You can click here to see some of my current designs. I just thought it pertinent as I have a Wente Vineyards Category here on my wedding photography blog. I’m attempting to catalog all of the weddings I have shot through this weblog.

This was the wedding of Belle & Perry. They were a great couple and I became very fond of both Belle and Perry. She was a very demanding but also generous bride. I’m sure that by now they have kids and all of that. I truly wish I could keep in better contact with some of the clients I have grown to know and love through the years.

There’s a place called the OUTDOOR ART CLUB in a little town called MILL VALLEY, CA. I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding there. They had the ceremony in the back, below the huge redwood trees. Cocktails were served on the patio while the luncheon was served in the main room. After lunch they danced on the front patio. For someone looking for a really nice place to have their wedding, the Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club is a top recommendation.

I thought I did a pretty good job at this wedding. But you know what? I can always learn something. Being in business for 20 years now, things can get pretty relaxed and sometimes I can get complacent and let my guard down. This is a trap that I try hard to avoid. Being good at anything, I mean anything sometimes makes you feel like you don’t have to prove yourself anymore. I can guarantee that if you hire me to be your wedding photographer, I will go above and beyond the call of duty to prove myself to you and make you happy. Customer service and customer satisfaction is VERY important to me.

This is a wedding at the Deer Ridge Vineyards in the Livermore Valley. The sun was really doing a number on my exposures so I had to be extra careful not to blow out the highlights. Fortunately, I shoot in RAW format which gives me some leeway in post to make adjustments.

These are some really nice wedding photos I took of at Elizabeth Gamble Garden in Palo Alto, CA. This is one of my favorite couples whose wedding was in January of 2010. I took the couple here  after their ceremony for the photo session. Their wedding was not held at the Gamble Garden. But there reception was close by over at the Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Millbrae, CA.

I got  lucky with the lighting that day. It was raining all day and then there was a brief moment where the rain stopped. The rain clouds that weren’t raining provided a really nice soft light for the pictures. I didn’t have to use any flash for any of these shots.

Let me know what you think! You can see more shots like this on my award winning photography website!

This is a clip that is featured on my wedding video blog. It is a wedding video taken at the Ruby Hill Golf Club in Pleasanton, CA. We do alot of wedding photos and videos at the Ruby Hill.

Here are some wedding images from the wedding of Emily and John. The Ceremony took place at a Catholic Church in Larkspur called St Patricks.

After the ceremony we took some pictures over in the town of Tiburon close to where the reception was taking place.

The lighting was tough because of the harsh overhead sun, but as usual I overcame all obstacles and delivered some great looking shots.

The reception took place at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon, CA. Having a wedding reception at the Corinthian Yacht Club is great because it is right on the water. There is also another Yacht Club a stone’s throw away and that one is called Tiburon Yacht Club.

I had a tough time breaking the couple away from the party. But we managed to sneak off behind the club and take some loving candids.

Here are some really nice client selected images from the wedding of Tina & Landon. The wedding was held at the Half Moon Bay Golf Links. I took over 1000 images that day.
