A little storybaord of hassie pix from Margaux and Andres wedding at Villagio and Bottega Napa Valley featuring an intimate and second wedding of the young couple (they first married in Spain!) and the reception was held at Margaux's father's restaurant, Bottega, in Yountville, Ca. Enjoy!
With almost a year delay, I'm excited to share this gorgeous real wedding on Style Me Pretty (April 2012) in Northern California, as an associate photographer with Meg Smith Photography. Not only do I photograph weddings on my own but I am Meg's second shooter and I love working with her because of the sense of unity when we photograph together. When I work with Meg, I primarily photograph with my favorite film camera. We are a team, and always working towards creating the most beautiful pictures we can. Meg's work is gorgeous, and high sought after! Click on the link to see the storyboard.
Durham Ranch Wedding by Meg Smith Photography
I've been photographing more weddings with film lately, and have been fortunate to be hired by my friend, and exceptionally talented photographer, Meg Smith, to shoot alongside her with my favorite camera. We photographed Jennifer & Jordan's fall wedding at the very lovely Durham Ranch, in St. Helena. Super cute couple. It was a delight to be a part of their day!
Over Labor Day weekend, this city gal found herself immersed in a quaint village in the middle of Wisconsin. This time I wasn't on assignment. I was hired by a colleague, who otherwise assigns me stories for NPR, to photograph her wedding. Honored and touched, this moment also terrified me: I'm photographing my picture editor's wedding! As soon as I touched ground, met all their closest relatives and friends, I soon enough felt like I was part of their extended family. Here is a colorful snapshot of mixed iphone and hasselblad images from Ephraim, Wisconsin.
Thank you Coburn and Brad, and your families and closest friends, for a memorable time and having me document one of the most celebrated days of your lives....
Gorgeous wedding in the little village of Ephraim, Wisconsin, outside of Green Bay, over Labor Day Weekend. I love shooting with my hasselblad, and knew this wedding would be perfect for it!
Its been a very busy summer of weddings and travel. Next I'll be working on updating my website.
But first, here is Brooke and Zarosh, who married on Zarosh's mom's property in Carmel Valley. This wedding was just darling, from the obvious love between the two, and with a tight-knit guest list of just the closest friends and family. His mom is also an amazing baker, with a fabulous eye for design. She planned and decorated the entire wedding. From fresh farmer's market flowers, to beautiful sweets and good eats. I will add a gallery of their wedding on my website soon so you can see her delicious talents, and this gorgeous wedding.
This image snuck on the tail end of a roll and its slightly underexposed, and super grainy...but love the look of it, as the bride steps down from the bridge, in this sort of timeless fashion. I love being able to shoot film during weddings. Its give me a chance to shoot some thing very unique to the standard digital images i usually create. Don't get me wrong! There's lots of beauties in shooting digital. But sometimes a grainy piece of photograph can have more character then a sharpened digital file. It brings texture.
A dear friend and exceptionally talented wedding & lifestyle photographer, Meg Smith, recently hired me to photograph a very adorable & intimate wedding at the exclusive Meadowood, in St. Helena, California. And being a photojournalist, it was not unusual (for me) to meet the family for the first time on the day of the wedding. Like an assignment I would receive from the New York Times, whom I often shoot for, I recieve a little packet that contains all the detailed information I need to know to antipate the day. And I arrive a little early to scout the location for portraits. In this case, being that it is Meadowood, they have a wonderful event planner who takes care of not just the wedding, guests, and bride, but also the photographer. love!
