Laura + John Wedding - V. Sattui Wedding - {Napa Wedding Photographer}

in

It is pretty rare when vows are said by candlelight, but it is so so beautiful when they are, especially in Napa, in the Fall, with a large black dog, swordsmen and a bride and groom so very in love! It couldn't have been a more perfect wedding that gave me goosebumps to capture. I love how everything was so personal, from including their beloved Newfoundland dog into their day and Laura's vows written on a United napkin, the same stationary John used to ask her out. Thank you for allowing me to document your day - I love your tango and everything was just magical.

Emily - how else can I say thank you enough for being such an amazing asset.

Johanna + Frank Wedding - MacArthur Place Palo Alto Wedding - {Bay Area Wedding Photographer}

in

I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes to be a California wedding photographer, the fact that I can shoot all the way into November and into December for weddings and still have gorgeous warm days! Johanna and Frank's wedding was just that - gorgeous and warm and full of many family and friends (225 actually!!) And although they had their reception at the historical MacArthur Park there were many stops before that for photos - we shot at five different locations, I think their guest count and photo location count might set the record. They were so easy going and fun, it was such a pleasure to capture their joyous day. And to top it off their Mariachi band was outstanding! What a fantastic day and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it!

To my amazing 2nd shooter Emily - you're the best!
