Kate and Tommy’s St. Malo weekend wedding

» Jenny 
Jenny

Kate and Tommy recently tied the knot and had the most fabulous wedding I have ever photographed. It was a 4 day event packed full of activities. Not only did they celebrate their wedding day with their guests, they also had a fabulous Rehearsal Dinner at La Costa Resort, a beach party, an after wedding party on the sand, and a Sunday brunch. Katie and Tommy were married in the garden of the family beach house in St, Malo. It was a gorgeous setting and Kate looked breathtaking in her Monique Lihui dress. Tommy couldn’t have been a more handsome match for his bride. Not only did he look good, but he was also laid back enough to be watching football 2 minutes before walking down the aisle (Tommy wasn’t alone…most of the men were there with him!). After the ceremony, guests were led by bagpiper to the cocktail hour on the beach. That was followed by a grand reception full of dancing, photo boothing, a bride and groom “cow bell” performance, and a sparkler send off. Kate and Tommy were so easy to photograph because they just radiated happiness. I felt so honored to be there on their wedding day and I wish them the best for years to come!

Vanessa and Dan’s Wedding Day

» Andrea

Last weekend Cara and I had the pleasure of photographing Vanessa and Dan on their wedding day. Dan and the groomsmen started off at The Jonathan Club downtown while the girls got ready at The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood where the reception would take place as well. After we captured the bride and groom preparing for their big day, dress and bow tie in place, we headed to over to St. James Church. Dan was so adorable, he couldn’t wait to see his beautiful bride. Everyone kept telling him how gorgeous she looked in her dress but he waited patiently until she walked down the aisle. The ceremony was perfect, very heartfelt and full of tradition. Next, off to The Roosevelt in style. Vanessa and Dan’s guests hopped on the double decker british bus to start the celebration. We headed up to the penthouse for a few photos before joining the party. I think my favorite part of the whole day was when Dan decided to sing to Vanessa towards the end of the night. Just a few hours before Dan’s best man was sharing a great memory about Dan’s glorious singing abilities so everyone was very excited to be a part of the wonderful serenade to his new wife. Congratulations to Vanessa and Dan, here’s to a wonderful new life together.

Kelly and Fitz’s Vintner’s Inn Wedding

» Katie

This past Saturday Tammy and I headed to Santa Rosa to help Kelly and Fitz celebrate their destination wedding. It was an absolutely perfect Sonoma day at Vintner’s Inn. Kelly looked beyond fabulous in a Spanish inspired gown and Fitz and the boys were styling in custom Chuck Taylors. Friends and family joined them from their home state of Illinois to raise a glass and toast to the new couple’s happiness. I absolutely loved the beautiful ceremony. Kelly and Fitz exchanged heartfelt vows as the sun set on the vineyard. It was the perfect moment bringing a weekend filled with love and laughter all together. The joyous vibes spilled over into the reception with the help of sweet tunes provided by Larry and the Lynch Mob. An amazing weekend was had by all.

After experiencing Kelly and Fitz and all their love for each other I know that like wine their love will only get better with age. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Nancy and Jason’s Rancho Del Cielo wedding

» Jenny 
Jenny

I had the pleasure of photographing the very elegant and laid back wedding of Nancy and Jason at Rancho Del Cielo in Malibu. It was a beautiful September day with blue skies, warm temperatures and views that went on forever! Nancy and Jason were not only looking their best, but the whole place was decked out as well. There were crisp white linens, roses, Japanese lanterns, river rock place holders, and extremely yummy looking food everywhere. Nancy is in the food industry so the eats were muy importante. They had the most amazing food I’ve ever seen (Nancy used to work with the caterer, The Kitchen for Exploring Foods, who created the awe inspiring spread.) After everyone enjoyed their dinner the party got pumping and Nancy and Jason cut a rug or two among all of their guests. I had such a fun time photographing their wedding and meeting both of their families. I wish you both the best and many years of happiness. Congrats!

Joy and Jason tie the knot at City Hall

» Nikki

Tuesday I had the pleasure of joining Joy and Jason for their intimate and private ceremony at City Hall in San Francisco. It was so cute cause they got ready together at the Fairmont Hotel, however Joy didn’t let him see the dress until she was in it! We then headed to City Hall for their quaint ceremony. San Francisco City Hall is just so gorgeous, it’s something that I imagine to find in old Rome or Italy. It’s such an amazing backdrop! Later that night we met at Townhall restaurant for their “reception.” Their friends coming had NO idea that they got married that day… they thought it was Joy and Jason’s engagement party! What a surprise to all them! Everyone was overjoyed and not surprised that they got married in private… Thank you for sharing your day with me! Congratulations Joy and Jason!
