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!
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 was love at first sight, love everlasting:a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected --in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness;it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement,that this was for life."-Thomas Mann-
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.
