Jack London Square Wedding in Oakland

Kaisha and Dylan’s Jack London Square wedding was fantastic. Kaisha was stunning, evocative, and gorgeous. What an inspiring person.  Dylan was master of the dance floor – boy can that man get down.  They were great to be around.  

I suggested that we take pictures in the produce packing district near Jack London Square.  A few weeks before the wedding, I noticed a dive bar there, the Merchant Saloon (Poisoning Oakland Since 1916), while picking up my weekly coffee fix at Bicycle Coffee. I thought that it would be a cool place to shoot, and it turned out that Kaisha and Dylan had be thinking the same thing.  We did a “first look” and then strolled around for a bit before the ceremony taking pictures and chatting.  They got high fives from the regulars at the bar and hoots, and congrats from people who saw them walking around in their wedding day finery.  Their ceremony at the Jack London Aquatic Center was sweet.  Dylan ad-libbed part of his vows and brought down the house.
