Natalie and Mike!

Oh how I love Jewish weddings! They are so very festive! Also, I love Healdsburg Country Gardens and I have to say that the caterer and Natalie and Mike hit the nail on the head with the food for this wedding and HCG. I just loved the elegant country family-style feel of the food. It fit in perfectly with the surroundings. It was summer bounty at its best.

Location: Healdsburg Country Gardens

Flowers: TBD

Catering: Preferred Sonoma Caterers

Wedding Coordination: Elsa Vera Productions

Featured Today on SF Style Unveiled!

I just loved Jodi and Shane’s gorgeous wedding last year at the Kohl Mansion and I think Heather of San Francisco’s Style Unveiled blog does a stunning job of showcasing it! You can see all of the credits on the blog post, but I wanted to give Nancy Liu Chin a special thank you for such GORGEOUS flowers to photograph! Here’s a direct link to the post and some little teaser clips:

Mandy and Jim!

This was a destination wedding for these Texas familes and they chose a couple of great locations with the help of wedding coordinator Stephanie Beer of Covenant Coordinating. I was fortunate enough to photograph the rehearsal dinner in the cave at Bella Vineyards and then stayed over in lovely Healdsburg to photograph the wedding the next day at Landmark Vineyards. Mandy and her mother have such great taste and did a lovely job working with the other vendors to come up with a casual  yet elegant look for both events. So very pretty!

Rehearsal location: Bella Vineyards

Wedding location: Landmark Vineyards

Coordinator: Stephanie Beer of Covenant Coordinating

Florist: Maria Philbin

Catering: Pacific Connection

Hair and Makeup: It’s a Date

Band: Larry Lynch and the Mob

Danny!

Danny is the son of former wedding clients Rachel and Dan. I also had the pleasure of photographing Danny last summer at their home on the east coast when is was just a little tiny baby. He’s grown so much!

Jennifer and Shawn!

Oh how I love Tiffany blue and so does Jennifer. Just loved the freshness of this wedding. The Tiffany blue and white theme for a seaside wedding was so pretty. This was the first time I have photographed a wedding at the new Oceano Hotel in Half Moon Bay. Pretty place and loved the staff!

Location: Oceano Hotel

Flowers: Alena Jean Designs

Catering: Oceano Hotel

Welcome Rowan!

Such a darling little guy. Only seven days old when I photographed him! The concept for the adorable photo with the hat is actually from the site “Etsy”. I did not see a photo credit on there, but this is what mom had planned for our shoot and we did it, but I have to give credit where credit is due even though I shot it!
