I photographed Deborah and Kwong’s lovely Casa Real wedding a couple of years ago and just as we completed their wedding album, they welcomed Jayden into the world! It’s always an honor when former wedding clients welcome me into their home to capture another milestone in their lives. I was so happy to see Deborah and Kwong in their new roles in life and to see the ultimate outcome of their union!
Here are a few photos from the couple’s beautiful vineyard wedding!

Michelle and David’s lovely pastel wedding had so many sweet details, including hand-stamped table numbers and a bed of fresh rose petals that covered the aisle. I’m delighted that their wedding has been featured on Ruffled!
I hope you enjoy the feature on Ruffled, and for even more images, be sure to check out my blog post!

Can’t reveal my B&G on this one, but wanted to share some pretty photos of the setting. Nicholson Ranch is “nestled in the southern foothills of the Sonoma Valley,” according to its website, and is a gorgeous setting for intimate weddings. I loved the Terracotta walls and the Italian style. So fitting with the vineyard and California hillsides! My bride even made the sweetest homemade jam as a guest favor. So sweet!
Vendors involved in this wedding included:
Catering: The Girl and The Fig
Cake: Scandia Bakery
Floral Design: Viola Floral Design
Day of Coordination: A Noble Affair
Venue: Nicholson Ranch

Now that Desiree and Jarrod’s wedding has been featured in San Francisco Bride‘s current issue, I am so excited to share their images here on my blog! Desiree and Jarrod’s lucky number is 13, so the couple decided to get married on the 13th of the month, which happened to be a Wednesday. The couple also drew inspiration for their wedding from their lucky number, creating in intricate Alice in Wonderland theme at a private residence in Sonoma. Rosemary Hattenbach of Rosemary Events planned a gorgeous wedding and Eden of End-Design did such an incredible job making the estate a dreamy wonderland for this intimate destination wedding. Cake Coquette also made the gorgeous and delicious cakes!

I was so happy to photograph at The Carneros Inn–a cottage resort nestled in 27 acres of vineyards and valleys in Napa Valley–for my first time. The Carneros Inn is a newer venue in wine country and I just loved its simplicity. The staff and the food there are also pretty great. The ceremony was held in the budding apple orchard and I just loved the bright freshness of the green apples and green and white colors throughout. My bride Susan has impeccable taste and it made for a bright clean look with plenty of pretty details. I just loved the twine touches around the dinner menu and invitation and the wheat grass setting for the escort cards. Such simple beauty. Oh, and Susan and Billy couldn’t have been any sweeter. What fun I had photographing this 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

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!

I thought the softness of the colors of this wedding were gorgeous. It was fitting that the morning started out with a soft fog enveloping Napa Valley. As the fog cleared, Michelle and David were saying their vows at the Auberge Du Soleil. By the time they kissed, the sun had come out for a lovely warm afternoon reception! What pretty details and an even sweeter couple. I just loved Michelle’s great and frequent laughing. True happiness!
