Marin Headlands for the Arts - Didi and Tim

As always, it's wonderful to photograph weddings at Marin Headlands Center for the Arts. It's such an original location and even on a dark stormy day offers wonderful photo opps. I just loved this late fall wedding with warm touches of candles and heart-warming food. Svenja of Chestnut and Vine went over-the-top with the flowers and Katie Powers and crew turned out yet another perfect feast of locally grown and organic food. I had the special treat of seeing Rebecca (the site manager) who acted as day-of coordinator too! Didi and Tim and families also couldn't have been nicer and all had a fabulous time!

The Half Moon Bay Golf Links ceremony location and staff are just great. I always love shooting there! Plus the bonus golf cart ride to the beach for the portrait session is such fun! We had perfect light for our near sunset portrait session and Sam and Jeff had a lot of fun getting away for a little while. Venue: Half Moon Bay Golf Links

Sadie of "One Big Fish" a certified green planning company helped coordinate and Julia of Bloomies in Oakland did a great job incorporating flowers the couple grew in their won backyard into her floral designs for the day.
