S + A {Sonoma California Wedding Details}

July 8th, 2011
Filed under: Wedding


I am so excited to share this post with you. It’s not like my normal posts… but still I am over the moon about it. Dusty and I traveled to Sonoma over Memorial Day to photograph the beautiful wedding of some really incredible people, S and A. Every detail they had shared with us about what they were planning for their big day made me SO excited about their wedding. And can I just tell you, they lived up to everything they told me about and more! I’m so excited to share with you the details from their wedding. Their day was FILLED with all the things I love best – deeply personal touches that are very THEM! It was perfect!

S + A have an incredible sense of style, and it so came across in everything they wore. S took her mother’s prom dress and altered it into her wedding dress. She actually shortened it (and you all know how much I love a short wedding dress) and added a multi-colored crinoline. It was just stunning! And, yes, I did have a bit of a crush on her stellar shoes.

I also LOVED the flowers! They were so lovely, and colorful! Yummy for the eyes.

Their wonderful friends created a installation for them to get married in front of… it was incredibly beautiful.

Their friends also played some great tunes.

And everyone looked fabulous! I loved the bridesmaids dresses! They were amazing!

After the ceremony their guests picked up super cute cup cozies that were also their place cards. S and A even included us and can I tell you, I love my cozy. I still use it.

Then it was dinner time! The patio at Westerbeke is a great place to dine.. and their food was incredible!

Then the party moved across the pool into the hall. S and A treated their friends to sweets and treats and some amazing tunes. Several of their friends took turns spinning as well. The music was awesome! As was the incredible dancing!

Thanks to S and A for having us be a part of your lovely wedding! And thanks for looking through this long post everyone… you get gold stars.

Amy and Jason were married last month at my favorite place on the planet The Citizen Hotel in downtown Sacramento. It was genuinely one of the loveliest days ever. Amy and Jason are so down to earth, and so comfortable together. It was a joy to witness their wedding. I loved the vibe of their day! And HELLO hot pink shoes… I think I love you.

The ceremony was just fabulous. I love the wine box ceremony! What a great idea to write notes to each other and put in your favorite bottle of wine to open up in 5 years. SO cool!

And then it was portrait time!

And then it was party time!

Amy and Jason thank you again for being so delightful! Enjoy more of this beautiful wedding by watching their SLIDESHOW HERE or below.

Oh our wonderful Heather and Kevin! We met these two last spring at Tibby and Tom’s fabulous wedding and that was where we fell in love. Our love grew EVEN DEEPER when we met up a few weeks ago for their engagement session in Old Fair Oaks. These two are so much fun, and so cute and so quirky! I just adore everything about them, and am so excited for their wedding this fall. It’s sure to be spectacular. I mean… if they will play leap frog with each other… what WON’T they do. ;)

Seriously… we just love these two. Check out more of their session by watching their SLIDESHOW HERE or below.

Halley and Kyle {Engaged}

Halley and Kyle are just two of the coolest people ever. They are super smartie pants, but more than that they are warm and genuine and so very in love with each other. I was excited to travel on down to UC Davis and photograph these two all around the campus where Halley is finishing up her degree as a large animal vet. We were going to do their engagement session earlier in the year, but Halley broke her hand when she was running a goat on a tredmill and the goat got a little excited. I mean really! That’s the best excuse I’ve EVER had to postpone a session. :) But I was so happy to finally get together with them. We walked around UC Davis for an while staying in front of the rain. It was lovely… just like these two.

Thank you most wonderful Halley and Kyle for such a delightful session! We can’t wait for your wedding next month!!! Check out their SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more of their session!
