Klein-Godinez Wedding Headed down to Fremont (where I was born!) to photograph the wedding of D and T.

Klein-Godinez Wedding

My third wedding this summer/ever, it was a nice challenge to round out my experience from outdoor garden wedding in Monterey, outdoor ranch wedding on a ranch, and lastly a church wedding.The church was pretty bright thanks to a beautiful stained glass window.

D with two sons of his own, and T with her daughter Mele, all joining to becoming one family. And as D said in his speech, "Mele, I don't care what anyone says, you're my daughter... so how about we change that last name of yours" causing Mele to be overcome with emotion.

Family is family, regardless of how it's defined by science, the state, or the church!

Klein-Godinez Wedding Thanks to D and T for letting me be a part of your special day!
