Classic Cars? Football? What??? This wedding not only appealed to the guys, but to one awesome bride as well. The finer touches of this Bennett Valley Golf Course Wedding included autumn leaves and floral arrangments of oranges and reds.
The Reception at Legends reminded us that yes, this was a big Italian Wedding complete with Lasagna. All jokes aside, the reception housed some lovely personal touches like a slideshow of their lives and photos of past parent's and grandparent's weddings.
Overall, a rockin' wedding put on by one of our favorite planners... Runaway Brides.
This fun-loving couple had a their wedding put together by Runaway Brides at the Friedman Event Center in Santa Rosa. Their attention to tiny details transformed the event center into one of the more interesting venues I've seen! The wedding ceremony had flowing champagne pipe and drape and the bland pillars were wrapped in purple sashes and fresh wreaths. Inside the reception housed the best favors I have ever seen... Jelly Beans! We had a blast at their wedding and we wish them luck as they continue through life as a married couple!

We had a phenomenal time shooting Hillary and Noel's wedding! The colors were epic and so was this couple. Their Villa Chanticleer wedding was laced with so many little details too. Not only did they have a full humador in the lobby but Noel even used his bonsai collection for table centerpeices (they looked amazing!).
Hillary and Noel had every angle of their wedding covered. Their ceremony was just the right length with just the right amount of smiles and tears (of joy). Their reception had the feel of a casual family reunion (a reunion that you would actually want to go to!).
We wish this couple the very best and we're glad to have been a part of their special day.
Who knew you could find a Castle in the wine country!?!? Well, we found it! This young couple and I had a great time walking around and finding the little nooks and crannies to take some awesome photos in. We also encountered some areas of gorgeous texture. Drop in a comment and let me know what you think!
How do you take an ordinary barn and make it extraordinary? I don't know... talk to this couple! Kate and Matt transformed the barn with lights, thule, manzanita, and more! The outcome, as you can see, was quite spectacular. The only thing that was lacking was the weather. Being the first weekend in June, we are all hoping for sun and an outdoor ceremony. However, sometimes plans do go as expected. Luckly, Kate and Matt had a backup plan and were ready for anything.
And one more thing... A horse-drawn carriage, awesome colors, sea green cupcakes, and a very active dance floor!
Need I say more?
WOWEE! WHAT COLOR! This wedding was all about the colors and the details... The couple spent countless hours prepairing every little hand-made decoration, sign, and favor. The colors were inspiring with bold blues and vibrant yellows.
Now, let's talk about the bride and groom... They were two of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of working with. We had a great time doing the engagement shoot and collaborating on their ideas for the wedding.
The photobooth decorations and props were a big hit with everyone! They had a great and goofy time!
Take a look at the images and you can see the amount of detail that went into this wedding. Simply Amazing!
3 phrases come to mind for this couple... "Down to Earth", "Simple", and "In Love". Mary's one request for the engagement shoot was that she "Had to go take photos by the Lavender!" I'm glad she suggested it. We walked and talked around the winery grounds finding many little spots to stop in and take a quick pic. They were a laid-back and easy pair to work with!
Amanda and Matt were bold enough to risk massive wind and chilly San Francisco bay temperatures to make this photoshoot happen! First we went up the hill overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge... but after a few moments, it was apparent that we could not sustain in the chilly locale. Next, we went down to the docks located at the base of the GG bridge. It was not as windy but the salt spray from the ocean was pretty cold. Great couple to work with! I had fun and they were pretty darn natural in front of the camera.
Summer and Andrew are two runners with hearts of gold. Now that may sound cheezy but it's totally accurate. They are some of the nicest people I have had the opportunity to get to know. Summer's smile is contagious and Andrew's sense of humor makes it difficult to keep a straight face. Together, they make one happy couple. Our little engagement shoot at the gardens went quickly because they were open to shoot just about anything! We got a lot of good shots, my favorite being the ones with the running shoes... and the ring shot.
