Intimate Summer Wedding at Gamble Garden, Palo Alto

As a fine art wedding photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm always thrilled to capture love stories in our area’s diverse venues. Tucked away in a residential Palo Alto neighborhood is the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden, with an array of vibrant blooms and lush greenery especially in the summertime months. I was so excited when Narae and Namhoon reached out to me to photograph their intimate summer evening wedding at this Palo Alto venue.

This hidden gem of a Palo Alto wedding venue provided a lush backdrop for their sweet ceremony and reception. The golden hour light filtered through the foliage, and made for more romantic moments in an already cozy garden setting.

What made this garden wedding truly special was the personal touch in every detail. The evening's culinary journey, featuring Korean cuisine and crowd-favorite garlic noodles, offered a nod to the couple's heritage and the Bay Area's diverse food scene. Moreover, Narae and Namhoon’s passion for wine was evident in their carefully curated selection, reflecting the rich wine culture of nearby Napa and Sonoma valleys.

Throughout the night, I focused on those fleeting, authentic moments that tell the true story of a wedding day – gentle touches, knowing glances, and proud smiles. These unguarded instances are what I strive to preserve in my approach to wedding photography.

This Palo Alto garden wedding reminded me why I love fine art wedding photography in the San Francisco Bay Area. For couples seeking a photographer to capture their day in a timeless, romantic style, I would be honored to tell your unique love story. And for those considering the Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden for their Palo Alto wedding, I can attest to its charm as a truly magical venue.
