Paradise Private Residence, Somona - Desiree and Jarrod
So pleased that after a long wait, Desiree and Jarrod's wedding is featured in San Francisco Bride's current issue! Their "Alice in Wonderland" theme sprang from the unusual occurrence of the number 13 being their lucky number. They got married on a Wednesday because it was the 13th of the month! Rosemary Hattenbach of Rosemary Special Events planned a gorgeous wedding and Eden of End-Design did such an incredible job making the estate a dreamy wonderland for this intimate destination wedding.

Intimate at Home Wedding - Liz and Alex
When I met with Liz and Alex, I could have talked with them for HOURS. Such an interesting couple, they met in Morocco! She's British and he's local, they connected and here they were getting married in Alex's parent's front yard! The intimate luncheon followed at the neighbor's house (they've been neighbors for YEARS!). I just loved the simplicity of this wedding. Harkens back to my parent's generation where they had a champagne, light hors d'oeuvres and wedding cake in the afternoon immediately following the ceremony. Liz and Alex DID have a bit more extensive lunch catered by Blue Heron Catering, but it was still perfectly old fashioned and intimate!
Vendors include:
Catering: Blue Heron Catering
Florist: Gingerleaf Floral

Rancho La Puerta Part two!
I was fortunate to go a second time to Rancho La Puerta last week to photograph their spa!I'll post some photos of my shoot next week, but here's a sweet one from an early morning hike I did with a few guests at the Ranch taken by one of the girls on the hike (I'm second row left). Every morning there's a choice of several hikes, but you have to get to bed early to get up in time! Maybe we should ALL get an early morning hike in this Thursday before we eat that big Thanksgiving meal!

Emily and Will's shabby chic wedding at Kohl Mansion
Shabby chic and spectacular! Asiel Design and Lauren of Downey Street Events teamed up to put together this lovely shabby chic wedding with a formal twist. I always love shooting at Kohl Mansion in Burlingame because I love working with architecture in my photos and all of the vendors on this shoot truly made a great team. Thomas John Events always puts together wonderful food that is both delicious and pretty, too. Emily and Will were truly a one-of-a-kind couple and I just loved them! The light saber fight that replaced the first dance and the delivery of In-n-Out burgers as a late-night snack let their casual personalities shine!
