Karin & Mallen Wedding - Ruby Hill Country Club, Pleasanton

It was a perfect Sunday for a wedding. The day before was gloomy and rainy. Lucky couple Karin and Mallen had a beautiful wedding out in Ruby Hill Country Club. I always enjoy shooting in this location because the venue is not overly big yet not so small that you can't fit anyone in there.

I usually get to know the family pretty well by the end of the night. This time, I felt like I already know the bride's family immediately (esp the bride's mom)! why? well, here is the story...

At Ruby Hill's bridal room, I was chatting up with Karin's mom. She mentioned how lucky I am to do what I love (I am blessed :)!! ). Within the same breath, she asked how old I was and told me immediately that I look like a teenager. I was stunned. How can I look like a teenager? At least 21 right? haha. Everyone cracked up in the room *grin*. That was how it went down. I guess I was born with a "baby face" so people can't tell how old I am. Let's just say, I am not as young as you may think *wink*
