Alex & Carmen | Vintage Estate Wedding | Yountville, Ca

November 26, 2014

On a perfect fall weekend Carmen & Alex gathered all their favorite people in the beautiful town of Yountville to celebrate the new chapter of their lives together and man do they know how to throw a party!

 

Their Story

Carmen and Alex met in San Francisco in 2005 after secretly being set up at a birthday party by Carmen’s cousin’s wife Melissa. They had an instant connection and went on their first date two weeks later. After 7 years of long distance dating, during a trip in Barcelona, they went for a walk down a beautiful tree-lined street and under a full moon Alex got on one knee and asked Carmen to be his wife. She said yes!

 

The Beautiful Bride

Alex and Carmen’s excitement was contagious and felt from the moment I stepped into
“The Retreat” at the Villagio Inn and Spa where they got ready. Apart from her Mom, Sister, and Bridesmaids, Carmen didn’t want anyone to see her until it was absolutely necessary so we kept her tucked away and guarded like she was the President!

The bride looked drop dead gorgeous in her wedding dress by Marisa Bridal from Papers and Petals was beautiful and sophisticated with fine details like its delicate flower pattern and silk waist belt. Hair and make up by Susie Chhuor Studios accentuated Carmen’s natural beauty. With all of that gorgeous in one package, Carmen’s close friend Jimmy Choo had to make an appearance and rock some socks off. Literally.

 

In Loving Memory

Carmen’s father died last year, so to honor his memory she had a piece of his shirt shaped like a heart sewn into her wedding dress and wrapped around her bouquet, which also included a small charm with a photo of her dad.

 

I Do

Whether family, friends, or part of the bridal party, everyone at the ceremony was all smiles. The bridesmaids walked down the aisle wearing Joanna August dresses carrying orange bouquets by Karen Baba of Plan Décor. They were followed by the groom and groomsmen all wearing Vera Wang for Men’s Warehouse tuxes. Carmen’s cousin read The Art Of Marriage by Wilfred Peterson and officiant Don Narrin led the ceremony. When the time came to say “I Do” we all felt electricity as we watched Carmen and Alex’s first kiss as man and wife. After they kissed, they threw up an awesome synchronized fist pump!

 

#EatDrinkandBeAnderson

It was obvious that this beautiful wedding was put together with great care by all of the details that filled the room. Carmen and Alex’s wedding colors were Grey and White with pops of Orange. Pretty Please Bake Shop made their two-tiered white cake. Guests were all seated on furniture supplied by Classic Party Rentals, but not for long because David Carvalho of Boutique DJs rocked the mic and gave guests plenty of beats to shake to. Lighting by Got Light set the mood and kept everyone dancing as if they were in the spotlight. It’s a good thing myself and videographer Jessica Ringor of Lovespun were there to capture the moment. All of these details couldn’t have been brought together without wedding coordinator Simone Lennon and her fabulous team, including month of coordinator Brittany. Nailed it!

Carmen and Alex, I wish you many years of romance, adventurous travel, laughter, and happiness. Congratulations on your beautiful marriage!

xoxo

Welcome Little Red Sox Fan! | Baby Miles Newborn Session | SSF

November 19, 2014

This sweet family of 4.5 is near and dear to my heart.

Matt and Melissa have been clients and friends for years. They were one of the first full weddings that I ever shot back in 2010! I’ve had the pleasure of watching their family start from the very beginning: from their loving wedding, to the birth of their first child Madison, and now the birth of their second child, Miles!

In case you haven’t noticed from the photos, Matt and Melissa are huge Boston Red Sox fans. They even named their dog Boston! It was only fitting that when baby Miles came into the world, we make sure his first photos included him in true fan gear. 

I had a blast during this shoot! Big sister Madison was beaming from the excitement of having a new brother. Along with Boston, she took care and watched over her little brother Miles, even when we dressed him up in a Mr. Rogers sweater onesie and daddy’s glasses!

The best moment of the photo session was when I mentioned that I wanted to take some photos of Miles in a cute basket on the front porch and Melissa replied with, “Well, how about an Amazon box?”. Pure genius I tell you! Miles was a special delivery for big sister Madison, laid in gently on a bed complete with bubble wrap! The look on Madison’s face when she saw her package was priceless.

Congratulations to Matt, Melissa, and Madison! Baby Miles is gorgeous and I’m sure will look back with proud eyes knowing his first few photos were of him in a Red Sox beanie.

I love watching your family grow and can’t wait for the next chapter!

Tammy & Micah’s (aka Little Awesome) City Hall Celebration | SF

November 18, 2014

I heart these two and their adorable families. I was overwhelmed by the love and joy Tammy & Micah’s families showed them during their beautiful celebration and going through their photos I feel the love all over again. As I LOL and the insane amount of group hugs that took place, the hilarious relationship of Micah and his brother, the little monkey that Tammy has had since childhood and that her sister would love to throw out the window of a moving vehicle and of course the “little awesome” stitched into Micah’s jacket by TailorMaid! Then there are the tears I find bubbling up in me when I remember all the joyful tears the joining families shared once it was official and of course more group hugs :)
I am so very happy for you two! Congratulations!!!!
