Elizabeth & Derek | Berkeley City Club Wedding Photography
When Elizabeth and Derek met at a college party, they hit it off immediately. She loves rugby. He plays rugby. He is a total film nerd. She was a film major. They also discovered a shared love of books, Berkeley, history, and architecture. So when it came time to be wed, there was no more perfect spot than architect Julia Morgan’s “Little Castle,” the Berkeley City Club. Surrounded by friends and family, the two intertwined old souls tied the knot in a beautiful, classic celebration.
Practically every detail of the wedding was an heirloom, including the incredible beaded pouch and the bee pin– both passed down from each of Elizabeth’s grandmothers.
I love the mirroring of these two getting ready shots, even though they happened in two different hotels.
I love that we took a little time to dash over to the Berkeley campus to grab a few shots at Elizabeth and Derek’s alma mater where they met.
Love.
I absolutely love these shots in the member’s lounge library. Derek always has a paperback book stashed in his back pocket, so this was just perfect.
Derek reading while the rest of the group takes portraits!
Gotta throw in a little rugby scrum… I don’t understand the sport, but I find it fascinating to watch!
… and they danced the night away.
Congratulations, Elizabeth & Derek! It was such a joy to photograph your wedding!
