Oh my gosh! How much do I love these two and how much did I love this wedding? More than I can say since Chris is my husband's brother and Christina is my brand new sister-in-law! My dear second shooter Amanda Barnes helped me out on this one by completely taking over after I photographed the B&G portrait session so that I could grab a glass of champagne and join the family for dinner and dancing.
I loved the country western theme at Rancho Nicasio in the gorgeous west Marin Nicasio Valley. What a fun and festive wedding (and not just because it was my family!) complete with the country western band Twang Ditty. Boy did they rock the house!
Chris and Christina did an amazing job on this budget wedding with help from the Ranch staff and florist Vanda Floral really created gorgeous summertime garden florals on a limited budget. When the staff recommended that what was supposed to be an outdoor dinner move inside because of the unseasonably cold weather, the indoor room at the Ranch was utterly transformed into a warm and cozy atmosphere for the yummy BBQ dinner and dancing!
I've never seen my sister-in-law so happy. One of the happiest brides I ever saw and she looked absolutely smashing. So photogenic! Chris looked pretty dapper too and surprised Christina with his look. So happy for them and special thanks to Amanda for taking over the photo duties for me!!
