LDS Wedding Photography – Kelsey & Jordan – Oakland LDS Temple

Kelsey and Jordan came all the way from North Carolina to get married at the Oakland LDS temple. A wonderful summer day welcomed them to the San Francisco Bay area and the Oakland hills that overlook the Bay. Just love when the couple plans out the day with matching items. For this wedding all the bridesmaids had matching orange shoes, while the guys had matching socks, and everybody brought sunglasses which can be seen in the photos below.
