Josslyn and Evan - Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, CA

December 17, 2007

One of my favorite locations in the bay area is the Headlands Center for the Arts. Josslyn and Evan chose this location for their December wedding and as usual, it was gorgeous! If you're looking for something different with an arty feel, near a beach and nestled in our very own hilly SF landscape, this is it! Katie Powers is the on-site caterer and always does a terrific job, Mary Louise Hare did the flowers (415-221-2706) and Rachel Leisling (415-821-9378) did the cake which was one of the best I've ever tasted - well it rivaled Lisa and Josh's cake! Josslyn was stunning in her sleek gown and DJ Robbie Socks (415-307-0627) rocked the house and played a GREAT mix of music. Congratulations Josslyn and Evan!

Sarah and Matt's SF Wedding

October 9, 2007

Sarah and Matt's engagement photos were one of my first posts. I'm FINALLY getting to posting their 7/7/07 wedding at Grace Cathedral and The Lodge at the Regency Center. Sarah and Matt's wedding was totally hands-on. They searched at flea markets for months to find the little bottles that they used for their guest's place cards. Their theme was San Francisco shipping/port based and their guests received a "message in a bottle" as their seating card. Sarah and Matt wrote individual messages for each bottle.

Melissa of A Simple Ceremony did the flowers .....

Shevaun and Harrison

October 1, 2007

Congratulations to Shevaun and Harrison! Their wedding was back in June, but I just had to post some images. Shevaun and Harrison celebrated Harrison's heritage with a Korean tea ceremony the day before the wedding. I've photographed a lot of tea ceremonies, but this was by far the most elaborate costuming. The wedding day was gorgeous and their location choices, beautiful. Their ceremony was held at Old St. Mary's in SF and the reception at The Julia Morgan Ballroom in the Merchant's Exchange Building. To celebrate Shevaun's Irish heritage, they hired a bagpiper to walk with the bridal party and all the guests the few blocks from the ceremony to the reception site. What fun!

Pairs and Pieces created the gorgeous flowers for the day....

and Patrick Davids was the caterer...YUM!

www.patrickdavids.com was the caterer. Yum!

Cabo Wowo!

July 9, 2007

Chicago couple Carli and Craig tied the Knot in gorgeous Cabo San Lucas Mexico. I joined them to photograph their intimate wedding at the private villa rental “Casa Contenta” and we had a terrific four-hour photo session the next day (when Carli wasn’t so concerned about getting her dress sandy!). I’ll be photographing Carli’s sister’s wedding in the Dominican Republic next January!
