Palm Event Center Wedding in Livermore

Jerad Hill — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 21:19:25 +0000

The Palm Event Center in Livermore is a beautiful venue for a wedding. I have had the privilege of being a wedding photographer here and at the neighboring Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery. The entry to The Palm Event Center is a long driveway laden with towering Palm trees. The property lies right in the middle of a beautiful vineyard that is very well kept making it a great place for portraits.

Casa Real Pleasanton Wedding Venue

I have photographed and attended a lot of weddings over the years but Casa Real is at the top of my list. From a photographers perspective I have never had a better experience with a venue then I did with Andrew and his staff at Casa Real. There was not a moment when they were not assisting someone or making sure that everything was perfect. Each wedding at Casa Real is perfect. See Colt & Ashley’s Wedding at Casa Real in Pleasanton.

Gallo Center for the Arts – Modesto

Jerad Hill — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:57:22 +0000

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity of shooting some photos for promotional use at Gallo Center for the Arts. The photos are to be used by their marketing department for anything from brochures to posters. The show playing on that particular night was Stomp however those photos have to stay between me and my hard drive. The Gallo Arts building is quite beautiful and was fun to take photos of.

Carmel By The Sea Beach Wedding

Jerad Hill — Fri, 08 May 2009 01:14:15 +0000

Carmel-by-the-sea on the coast of California is a beautiful location to get married. I have had the privilege of shooting several Carmel weddings now and love it. Through most of Carmel you can drive right along side the beach on the road and there are plenty of sections of the beach where a wedding could take place with out worrying about to many people walking through. If you are not brave enough to attempt a beach wedding then Carmel still makes for an amazing place to stop and take photos as you can see in some of the shots below.

DoubleTree Hotel Wedding- Modesto, CA

Jerad Hill — Tue, 05 May 2009 06:00:23 +0000

The DoubleTree Hotel is very conveniently located in Modesto and has a really nice ballroom located at the base of the hotel. The food is good and service is great. Drinks are a little pricey, a Pepsi cost me $3.50 but you get unlimited refills The hotel grounds are well kept and provide plenty of space to take photos with out traveling. The small stretch of 10th street provides a fun downtown feel that is also fun to take photos in. The DoubleTree also has nice rooms, my wife and I stayed in a suite on the night we were married. Below are a few photos of the tables they set up and decorated and a few landscape portraits. If you are looking for a venue that can provide a beautiful banquet as well as accommodate your visiting family and friends, the DoubleTree is the best choice in Modesto.

Hotel Leger Wedding – Mokelumne Hill, CA

Jerad Hill — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 02:03:40 +0000

The Hotel Leger is located up in the foothills in Mokelumne Hill, CA. I did not know what to expect upon the first time visiting as I knew that all of the towns up in that region are very small (Population of 100 or less usually). However, this town, though small, was so much fun and colorful. The town had an old western feel but also had modern aspects to it also. After the wedding was over I was talking to one of the bartenders outside who lives in town. She spoke of how much she loves “these parts” as they carry so many stories with them being so old. I agree that if the walls of that hotel could talk, they would have some amazing stories to tell.

Del Rio Country Club Wedding – Modesto, CA

Jerad Hill — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 01:39:04 +0000

I love golf course weddings! The Del Rio Country Club is a beautiful location. When weather is good the wedding ceremony is performed under a huge tree that drapes over the entire wedding keeping most in the shade. The reception is usually an indoor formal dinner. The food Del Rio prepares is nothing short of amazing. The staff is friendly and the wedding coordinator is amazing. The photos below were shot at a wedding that was on the same day as a golf tour that was just finishing up at Del Rio. The coordinator did such a great job being that there was so much going on, come to find out, she had organized the tour also.

California State University Stanislaus – Turlock, CA

Jerad Hill — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 01:11:08 +0000

I have photographed everything from weddings to senior portraits at CSUS in Turlock. I have shot so many engagement sessions there I have lost count. CSUS looks good all year, during the Spring to Fall months their beautiful waterfall and fountains are running which make for a terrific backdrop.

Holy Rosary Catholic Church – Hilmar, CA

Jerad Hill — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:31:25 +0000

I have shot a few weddings now at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Hilmar. The church is a little older and has that feel but it’s classic retro look with stained glass everywhere makes for beautiful light.

Modesto Weddings

Jerad Hill — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 00:23:37 +0000

There are many beautiful locations in Modesto to get married, some of the weddings I have shot in Modesto have been on private property or private residents. Below are some images from weddings I have shot in Modesto. Unfortunately the locations are not available as far as I know but I wanted to show off some of the beauty that Modesto has to offer.
