All throughout Friday and up until the morning of the wedding, dark clouds doused the area with a hearty bout of rain– much-needed for the drought-ridden state of California, but much-dreaded for Rebecca and Dave’s dreams of a wedding on the beach. We were all ready to be good sports about it all. The wedding would be perfect,…
Adrienne and Jenton are two peas in a pod. Their quirky energy and generous sense of humor always leaves them laughing together. Their wedding day was graced with a million beautiful details hand crafted by Adrienne and a beautiful first dance kicked off with singing from the groom himself. It’s hard to imagine two people better suited…
They first met at business school in Philadelphia, where they founded a startup together, and they later moved to California, the land of startups, where Jenny joined the team at Pebble and Adam joined Google. The two of them were full of smiles on their wedding day. The lovely Buena Vista Winery served as a perfect…
Katherine and Josh tied the knot as their friends and family looked on. And as they smiled and wiped away tears, an insistent whimper came from the back of the ceremony. There, behind all the rows of chairs, was Scout, their corgi pup who, having been left out of the center of attention, decided it…
From the first moment that Daniel saw Mariko decked out in her wedding finery, he let out a Daaayum girl! with a huge grin on his face. They both checked each other out, excited, happy, and a little bit silly. As we drove from the Claremont Hotel to their wedding venue at Tilden Park, the excitement of…
I absolutely loved Grace and Andy’s unconventional approach to their wedding. Everyone says your wedding day flies by too quickly, said Andy, addressing the crowd. So we decided to drag this out as long as possible. They went for a two-day affair. Day one was an adorable ceremony and outdoor party at the Rengstorff House in Mountain…
They met at the CIA (the Culinary Institute of America and not the Central Intelligence Agency). They had grown up across the country from each other, Ashley in Pennsylvania and Chad in Las Vegas, each with a wide range of interests. But their love of cooking drew them to California. They bonded over food, laughter, and wine,…
The story of how Jen and Mike met would not be complete without all the stories of how Jen and Mike almost but did not meet: their mutual friend Tom could’ve introduced them but decided Jen wasn’t Mike’s type; when Tom threw a party, Jen attended, but Mike skipped it; and when Tom invited Jen to…
There are a lot of things that float through your head on move-in day your freshman year in college. What are you going to major in? Who will your friends be? Is your roommate crazy? It might not occur to you to think, “Will I meet the love of my life today?” But of course that’s exactly what…
Friends of this blog may remember Anika and Vijay from their adorable proposal, which I captured while hiding behind a couch, or from their epic wedding in India! Well, they’re back again for another round of photos. While their wedding in India was incredible, it wasn’t quite legally binding for California, so we got together…
It has been ten years since Michelle and Xavier first started dating, and now it was all coming together in one big party in their own neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Both the bride and the groom started the day as a bundle of nerves, anxious to take this next step together. But as soon as…
After twenty-three years, they were finally wed. For most of the day, a light and excited happiness permeated everyone’s spirits. I was immediately welcomed by Neil and Tom as we headed to Central Park, and I was warmly introduced to some of their closest friends. The wedding would be a small, intimate gathering and a lunch reception, so it felt…
