Kate & Doug: Alameda Engagement Session

April 6, 2011

I love when our clients choose a location for their engagement session that is different and unique. That was definitely the case with Kate and Doug’s engagement session in Alameda. We started out at along the waterfront, hit the old Navy base, and ended up near the estuary with a view of the shipping cranes in Oakland. Kate and Doug were so at ease with each other, it’s wonderful to see that! We are so excited about their wedding this Saturday.

Carol & Amar: Palace Hotel Wedding

March 28, 2011

As much as we absolutely adore outdoor and rustic weddings, sophisticated city weddings have a special place in our hearts since that’s the type of wedding that we had. You may remember Carol and Amar from their fun Mission District engagement session. Carol and Amar are the sweetest couple, very easy going and stylish. Their wedding truly was a modern and elegant affair.

Carol and Amar had one of the most amazing first dances we’ve ever seen! Their friends and family arrived ready to party and get down to the amazing band, and had a great time at the photo booth. Congrats to Carol and Amar!

Lynda & Emmett: Healdsburg Farm Wedding

March 25, 2011

Get ready for cute overload! This is an authentic farm wedding complete with baby goats! The bride and groom, Lynda and Emmett, are young farmers who were married on their own organic farm in Healdsburg. You may remember them from their fantastic farm engagement session.

The theme for this vegetarian, DIY, green affair was “The Farm”, and the table decorations were farm tools and organic vegetables such as asparagus, artichokes, squash, olive branches, as well as eggs grown from their own farm, Foggy River Farm. They even have a blog all about their life on the farm, and Lynda’s first book is going to be released very soon.

During the ceremony, Lynda and Emmett planted two trees to commemorate their wedding. Every time they look at those trees, they can look back and remember their wedding day.The reception was held outdoors, and the dancing was held in the barn, complete with a caller and square dancing. The wedding party entered the ceremony by wagon drawn by a team of clydesdale horses. Instead of a cake or cupcakes, the couple chose to have strawberry galettes from a local bakery. A friend shot polaroids and the guests were invited to decorate a scrapbook with messages and their photos. Congrats to Lynda and Emmett!
