DIY Wedding - Beka and Josh

November 11, 2010

As mentioned when I posted the Style Me Pretty link, I had such fun photographing Beka's wedding! Beka also happens to be a wedding photographer who used to come out to SF to assist me. I guess a lot of what she learned, she learned from me and then she photographed my own wedding! Beka and Josh's wedding reception was hosted and held t my good friend's home in a little mountain town in Arizona. We all pitched in to decorate the house and yard with the great crafty details that Beka created. Lucky for us, Kathy is a great stylist. In fact I met Kathy when she used to style home interiors for me when I was shooting for the interior design magazines. Oh, that was many years ago! Have fun looking at this wedding. So adorable!

Sonoma Private Estate - Trish and Bronson

Trish and Bronson had such a gorgeous outdoor wedding with great details. Stephanie Beer of Covenant Coordinating did a wonderful job of coordinating this "At Home" wedding on a large property. Everything was brought in and in the planning stages for over a year. The results were so gorgeous and I thought Kate's flowers were so bright and perfect for that gorgeous tent setting!

As always, it was a great pleasure to photograph at Healdsburg Country Gardens in Sonoma. I thought this late-summer BBQ inspired wedding was adorable!

Wildwood Acres - Sarah and Joe!

August 12, 2010

Like Christine and Bruce, Sarah and Joe only contracted my services for a few hours for their Friday wedding. It was a fresh and lovely garden wedding with accents of blues and whites. I LOVED Joe's palpable emotion when he saw Sarah walking down the aisle and Sarah and Joe had the BEST engagement story I've ever heard. They met at a bus stop in Seattle and neither of them live in Seattle! Location: Wildwood Acres, Lafayette, CA

Sarah said the "S" word by mistake when she was trying to get herself together emotionally to say her vows. Yes, she had on a microphone. Her reaction is below:

The bridal party surprised them with a groom's cake complete with the bus number from their first meeting!
