Hillary and Noel |
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. |

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! |
Crystal and Michael |
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! |
Colleen and Roy |
I'm so proud of this couple! They planned their entire Sonoma County wedding from their home in Israel! It was fantastic! Our favorite part was getting to take them outside in the dark and capture them by the wonderful fountain... Courtesy of the Vitners Inn. Runaway Brides coordinated the event and provided the awesome dance music that got everyone on their feet. |
Kate and Matt |
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? |
Josee and Dan |
We had a great time with Josee and Dan at their engagement shoot and the fun continued on their wedding day! My favorite part of the evening was when we got the chance to steal the bride and groom during the dancing at take some secluded photos of them down by the pond. FYI, the COLORS for this wedding rocked my socks off! |
Val and Dan |
Val and Dan were a lovely couple to work with. As you may have seen, we did their engagement shoot out with their horses. We had a great time then and we had an equally great time at their wedding. The Deer Park Villa was a quite spot tucked into the hills of Fairfax that lead to a perfectly calm and friendly atmosphere. Val and Dan's ceremony was held outdoors under the redwoods on a perfectly warm and pleasant day. Their family and close friends then took the party indoors for a lovely reception. Thank you Val and Dan for allowing us to take part in your day! |
Liz and Eddy |
This creative couple must have had a busy but fun time preparing for their wedding. No detail went unnoticed! From the guys Puma shoes to the ladies charm bracelets, Liz and Eddy had it covered! They were a great couple to work with and we enjoyed shooting the formal photos before the wedding in downtown Petaluma. Their rockin' reception was at the Petaluma Women's Club and was highlighted by great food and an awesome DJ. Thanks Liz and Eddy! |
Juliann and Patrick |
Juliann and Patrick were a great couple to work with. Their entire wedding experience was well planned and incorporated a lot of family and friends which led to a great wedding feel! Their ceremony at the Russian River Vineyards was quite literally in the vineyards under a huge oak tree. The reception was equally neat as it was among some tall trees closer to the winery. On a personal note, Kevin got to practice his EMT skills and provide first-aid to a guest who took a tumble in the dark. |
Robin and Brandon |
This awesome out-of-town couple was a pleasure to shoot. We would like to think that they got along with our photographer, Max, (or "Mad Max" as they liked to call him) quite well. The girls also enjoyed taking a trip over to the Geyser Peak Winery before heading across the way to the wedding site. The energy and atmosphere of the wedding and reception made for a fun night that lasted long after dark. We had a blast stealing away the bride and groom and taking shots of them by the railroad tracks too! |
Juliana and Chris |
We met up with this fun couple before their wedding at the Geyserville Inn. Like most of our couples, they didn't want to see each other before the wedding so they shared a wall instead and got ready in adjacent rooms. Their wedding took place down the road at the Our Lady of Carmel Church in Cloverdale. After the wedding, we quickly ran across the lot to shoot the newlyweds in the vineyards before taking them back to the reception. The rest is history! |
Ellen and Mike |
All I can say is WOW! These two really spent a lot of time and energy putting together such a wonderful wedding. After their ceremony at St. Eugene's Cathedral in Santa Rosa, they and the rest of their bridal party were taken to a private winery for some fun formal pictures. The reception took place in a private residence in Sebastopol. Mike and Ellen worked hard for months before their wedding to create the lighting, decorations, and other details that all culminated on their wedding day. Great job you two! |
