Such a lovely little resource book! I first saw Today’s Bride displayed at the Magic Flute restaurant in San Francisco and immediately decided I wanted to advertise in it. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that in addition to my ad, Suzanne of Atelier Des Modistes used one of my photos and another photo from a real wedding shoot of aisle flowers done by Natasha of Waterlily Pond was used as a chapter opener! Pick up a copy of Today’s Bride!

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!

Oh, the lucky couples that got to attend this incredible tasting event given by Barbara Llewellyn Catering last week and how lucky was I to be invited to photograph! The event was set in the commercial kitchens of Barbara Llewellyn Catering in downtown Oakland and it couldn’t have been a cooler venue. I had a wonderful time arriving early to photograph all of the prep. work and watch the staff set up a spring-time yellow, black and white themed dining table right in the middle of the kitchen, a bar complete with lemondrop martinis and wonderful wine and champagne and then watch as the guests arrived and joyfully started sampling all of the incredible food that was prepared for them by this most talented catering staff. The dinner itself was a stunning sample of course after course, followed by a sampling of FOUR wedding cake flavors and a selection of the most amazing mini desserts. Unfortunately I didn’t bring a menu home with me, so I can’t give you the details on the food, but I’m sure the nice folks at Barbara Llewellyn can help you out! You’re going to want to eat after looking at these pictures!
OK, I do remember that these were little lemon meringue tarts…..
Imagine serving these chocolate dipped poached pairs to your guests!…..
Oh! and these were mini root beer floats! (funny how I remember all of the desserts)….
Bread pudding with caramelized banana…

Sarah and Matt’s engagement photos were one of my first posts. I’m FINALLY getting to posting their 7/7/07 wedding at Grace Cathedral and The Lodge at the Regency Center. Sarah and Matt’s wedding was totally hands-on. They searched at flea markets for months to find the little bottles that they used for their guest’s place cards. Their theme was San Francisco shipping/port based and their guests received a “message in a bottle” as their seating card. Sarah and Matt wrote individual messages for each bottle.
Melissa of A Simple Ceremony did the flowers …..
Look at the gorgeous room at the Lodge at the Regency Center!
and Carolyn Wong Custom Cakes created this beautiful and delicious cake. Isn’t it gorgeous!??

Congratulations to Shevaun and Harrison! Their wedding was back in June, but I just had to post some images. Shevaun and Harrison celebrated Harrison’s heritage with a Korean tea ceremony the day before the wedding. I’ve photographed a lot of tea ceremonies, but this was by far the most elaborate costuming. The wedding day was gorgeous and their location choices, beautiful. Their ceremony was held at Old St. Mary’s in SF and the reception at The Julia Morgan Ballroom in the Merchant’s Exchange Building. To celebrate Shevaun’s Irish heritage, they hired a bagpiper to walk with the bridal party and all the guests the few blocks from the ceremony to the reception site. What fun!
Pairs and Pieces created the gorgeous flowers for the day….
and Patrick Davids was the caterer…YUM!

Cecilia and David had a small romantic weekday wedding in the beautiful wine county setting of Auberge Du Soleil. Set in Napa Valley off of the Silverado Trail, Auberge Du Soleil is a special place. The staff is terrific, the food delicious and beautiful and the setting spectacular. Cecilia and David will celebrate another wedding day in David’s home country of South Africa this winter!
