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!
Earlier this year, I was commissioned by one of my most favorite photographers, Meg Smith, to second shoot a gorgeous San Francisco wedding with her. She suggested that I bring my hasselblad to photograph the event, so I just wanted to share some details from their surprise wedding reception. yes. the couple married at home, and then surprised their guests with an announcement during a dinner party they had arranged at the very lovely Boulets Larder (what a fantastic place for an intimiate dinner party btw) at the Ferry Building, in San Francisco. Enjoy!
Charlotte & Radesh's wedding was a three-day event, typical of Indian weddings with a twist. Their celebration intertwined both traditions over the course of a few days...it certainly gives their families and friends a chance to get to know each other, since many flew in from all over the world. And despite traditions, Charlotte and Radesh's festivities were still yet very contemporary (can i say that i was so very "san francisco"?). No formalities, just families and friends coming to together to celebrate the union of this adorable couple! The initmate ceremony was held at the Swedenborgian Church, the mehndi luncheon was held at the Kirkwood Depot, and the gorgeous wedding reception was held at the delicious Brix restaurant in Yountville with DJ Dojah spinning an eclectic taste of Indian and 80s music! I tried to edit down this layout, but as you can tell, i had a hard time, so with that, enjoy!
The winter weather in Northern California has faded as we welcome the approaching spring. This young couple was the dj and his gorgeous girlfriend of a wedding reception in the Napa Valley (photographed in the fall, but who would have known!)...just after sunset over the Mayacama hills. i love movements, textures, soft light, and dusk.
