The Regency Center Centennial Gala!

As I mentioned in my last post, this party was quite a party and by the looks of it and in times like these much needed by the 2,000+ people that attended! I’m posting The Regency Center’s three gorgeous rooms in order from where the party started on up, but first a HUGE thanks to our hosts! What a fabulous job! Also, This was a lot to post, so I apologize to anyone whose work does not appear here. I couldn’t post everything since it was such a huge party, but hopefully you will be represented by the Regency! EVERYTHING was gorgeous!

Gena and Ryan E-Session

Speaking of good sports and fun on an engagement shoot, it ended up pouring on the day of Gena and Ryan’s e-shoot. Luckily we were scheduled to shoot in Northbeach and they didn’t mind ducking in to a cafe for some drinks and fun shooting inside while we waited for the rain to calm down a bit!

Joanna and Padraic E-Session

I just love all my clients! Joanna, Padraic and I had such fun on our e-shoot. They chose the Marin Headlands and boy was it windy and chilly, but they were great sports!

Yowsa! What a Party!!!

 The Regency Center held their Centennial Gala Celebration last night utilizing all three of their gorgeous ballrooms. It was a truly fabulous event and I was honored to be asked to photograph it. I took the morning off because I was pooped from running around three floors so only have time today to provide a sneak peek. There will be tons more on Monday! I have also listed all of the incredible sponsors below the photographs, but will specify which room is which and sponsors on Monday! I now have to get ready for Jodi and Shane’s wedding!

Holly and Gilbert

Thanks so much, Holly and Gilbert for being such fun and having such a fun bridal party! Holly and Gilbert were married at one of my favorite venues: Headlands Center for the Arts in the Marin headlands. I think Katie Powers who is the exclusive caterer at the venue is one of the nicest people I have ever met and work with and her food is always wonderful. In this case, they were serving afternoon hors d’oeuvres after the ceremony and then the wedding was heading to a Chinese banquet at the Koi Palace. I was also thrilled to be working again with one of my favorite florists. Melissa of A Simple Ceremony is so very creative!

I loved these games the bridal party played. Gilbert had to try to break into the house with his groomsmen to try to find his bride and the bride’s attendants had to keep all of them out and occupied:

BTW, I offer this self-portrait setup as an addition to any package. Guests have a lot of fun with it. In this case, our ever-fun bride and groom brought props:

All in the Family!

I photographed sweet Ruby a couple of years ago when she turned one and now it was her sister Greta’s turn. Family was in from Australia, so we did a big family shoot, but it was mostly about Greta. Thanks Sharon and Mark. Your girls are so lovely!
