Stephanie and Mike's Engagement Photos

I shot Stephanie & Mike's engagement photos a few weeks ago in Golden Gate Park. Here are a few of my favorites!







Stephanie and Mike are getting married at the Irish Rose Inn in Healdsburg this October. I'll be sure to post pictures from their wedding!

2 weeks!

Today marks the date of exactly two weeks until our wedding. A little crazy, a little overwhelming, but really exciting none the less. I picked up my dress yesterday and have been waiting for Eric to leave to take a picture of it. The surfing is supposed to be bad, so there goes my one chance! I'll have to make up an errand for him to run :)

Instead of dress pictures, here are some reception items I designed recently! We decided that the place settings needed a little more color, so these little guys will be on ribbons tied around the napkins on each plate. Originally there was only supposed to be one version, but, as usual, I got a little carried away and made more!






Since our main color is yellow, and we are having lemons in multiple places at the reception, I decided to incorporate that into the labels. I googled "lemon pictues" and then downloaded a perfect picture of a cut open lemon that I used for all of the designs. Even on the designs with the lilies, I left the peel of the lemon on the outside as a border. The lilies are the same brush I used for the invites, I just erased the part I didn't need and created a new photoshop brush of 1 simple lily! Easy, right?! Does anyone have a favorite?! I couldn't decide, and that's partly why we ended up with 4!

Vine Hill House, Sebastopol wedding: Amy & Nick's Wedding

I photographed Amy and Nick's wedding earlier this summer. It took place at Vine Hill House in Sebastopol, which is a beautiful outdoor location for smaller weddings. The whole wedding was full of personal touches, and great people. It was one of those weddings where you could tell everyone was really happy to be there, and the bride and groom were so excited to be getting married. Here are some shots from throughout the day.....




This is one of my favorite shots from the day. Nick looked at my assistant Betsy and I , and said "Are you guys happy? Cause we really, really are." I think you can tell by Amy's reaction!



Congrats to an adorable couple!
