David & Charmin’s Fabulous Fall Wedding | La Mirada | Monterey

October 31, 2013

When Charmin explained her venue and even when we checked out pictures online, I  never could’ve imagined that it would be as fabulous as it was and such a perfect fit for these two.  Although it’s clear from the all the love and joy that surrounded their fabulous wedding day that they could’ve gotten married in a parking lot and it still would’ve have been perfect because for Charmin and David the love they have for each other is what’s important. Not only that, but they have so much family and so many amazing friends who love them that their day never felt stressful once…just happy excitement

The visual experience that Matt and I had wondering through the museum was only exceeded when Mel took us upstairs  to the “old house” which has been preserved for years and only open to us and the couple for our very own private shoot…see the first image below…WOW!

I am so happy for these two live music loving, swing dancing, madly in love newly weds and can’t wait to hear about all the adventures they are to embark on together on this crazy journey we call life.

Congratulations!!!

A huge thank you to Matt Gillooey for taking amazing photos with me!

Matt & Betsey’s Beautiful Rain Be Damned Wedding | Orinda

October 17, 2013

One day in a time long ago, a boy and a girl met at a game of laser tag and this past September on one of the only rainy days we’ve had in weeks Matt & Betsey made a promise to love each other for the rest of their lives in front of all the people they care about most in the world.

Betsey and I had our first meeting the day the Giants won the play-offs and went to the 2012 World Series…good luck right??? Well it’s said that rain on your wedding day is also good luck and boy did it rain on their wedding day (but only until it was time for us to party outside!).  So my conclusion?  That with or without all their good luck these two are a perfect pair and after their years together they are still crazy in love!

Their wedding was absolutely fabulous, from the sweet trip down memory lane that you took walking through the home she grew up in, to the beautiful ceremony, to the delicious meal made by the City College Culinary department, to the awesome dance party  that went on for hours!  I’m so happy for you both!

Congratulations!!!
