Angela Baby Number Two!

My dear friend Angela is having baby number two any day now. I was privileged enough to photograph her first maternity session and her daughter, Miranda, when she was a few months old. She asked me to take a few of the family before the new baby is born and here are a few of my faves along with some from our previous session and from when Miranda was a darling baby.

How adorable was Miranda as a baby? Here are a couple from her baby session!

And how beautiful is Angela in her first maternity session? She was so excited to have Miranda, and I can hardly believe she’s got another baby on the way!

Lauren and Nick’s Healdsburg Country Gardens wedding

Oh pink! I just loved the shabby chic, pink frilly-ness of this wedding, and loved that it was Lauren’s vision and Nick was totally open to it. It made for a gorgeous wedding at Healdsburg Country Gardens. Lauren and Nick, the sweetest couple, had the time of their lives on their wedding day! Lauren put so much of her own creativity and energy into this wedding — she handmade the favors, escort and place cards, guest book, cork place card holders and the drink flags, which she found on Martha Stewart Weddings. I’m glad that on THE DAY she was able to relax and enjoy.


Vendors involved in Lauren and Nick’s wedding included:

Location: Healdsburg Country Gardens

Florist: Blue Orchid Floral

Event designer: Grisez and Co. Event Design

Caterer: Park Avenue Catering

Cake baker: Sweet on Cake

Neighborhood egagement session

Jenn and Dario love their little San Francisco neighborhood and even met at a local cafe. It rained on the day of our shoot, but we had fun bopping around in the rain anyway!  They were even greeted at the cafe where they met with a glass of champagne! Look for their wedding June of next year!

Wedding hair accessories

There are so many ways to accessorize your wedding day look and today, I wanted to share with you a few recent favorites! Andra looked beautiful in a cathedral length veil that perfectly complemented her custom-made gown, while Emily added a little modern flair to overall look with a spunky birdcage veil. And who says hair accessories are only for women? I love that Mark sported a swanky top hat on his wedding day!

A favorite favor

If you can take your eyes off Lauren and Nick’s gorgeous floral centerpieces — I know it’s hard! — you’ll see their sweet favors. This couple gave guests something delicious they could enjoy long after the wedding was over, and packaged it in a beautiful fabric and simple jar. I absolutely love these favors! And I’d love to know — what was the best favor you’ve ever received?

Healdsburg Country Garden Wedding – Austin and Brian

What a special wine country wedding location and a special couple! I just posted a single image of Austin on my blog because while I was editing, I was so struck at how pretty she is! LOVED those curls. And when Brian saw her walking down the aisle? Look at the look on his face — it says it all. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place. I thought the rustic details at this wedding were fun. Loved the zinnias and bright colors nestled into simple baskets on each table. Pretty, pretty, pretty!

Vendors involved in Austin and Brian’s wedding included:

Location: Healdsburg Country Gardens

Florist: Floral Designs by Heather Hendrickson

Caterer: Park Avenue Catering

Cake baker: Costeaux Family Bakery
