Sebastiani Sonoma Wedding - Amy and Michael

November 16, 2014

Lovely wedding, Lovely couple! I loved that Amy and Michael's love for music (they are both musicians!) flowed into their elegant Sebastiani Winery wedding so perfectly. They had live musician performing throughout the event and even took dancing lessons so that they could expertly swing dance to the music for their first dance!

Christopher of Leftwich Event Specialists made sure all of the elegant touches in this gorgeous setting were perfect including the lush flowers by Taste Catering and Event Planning both in the outdoor ceremony setting and in Sebastiani's spectacular barrel room. I love this barrel room and am fortunate enough to be on the preferred vendor list at Sebastiani and have seen it in so many gorgeous iterations depending on my client's style. Amy and Michael were the picture of happiness as then entered the room down the giant curving staircase surrounding the huge barrel at one end of the room. The railing was decked out in garland making it even more of a spectacular entrance.

The traditional Jewish touches throughout the wedding also made it special and festive. Especially that EXTRA long Hora dance! I think the friendly band was torturing Amy and Michael and the lucky guys holding up the chairs just for some extra festive fun!

Congrats to Amy and Michael!

Pebble Beach and The Inn at Spanish Bay Wedding - Molly and Aneep

November 3, 2014

In my questionnaire that I send to all my brides, I have a question that asks for any favorite moments or memories of their day. Molly's answer was: "Too many to list. Day was perfect." and that it was! I have NEVER photographed a wedding in the Carmel/Monterey coastal area that wasn't a bit chilly and often foggy. Molly and Aneep and everyone else were completely surprised by this unseasonably warm wedding day! Pebble Beach and the coastline were stunning and sparkly in the warm sun and it really WAS a perfect day. Molly was absolutely the picture of "stunning" in her Vera Wang gown and Aneep was smiling every time he looked at his gorgeous bride!

Melia Yust of Wedspring in San Francisco designed and planned this simple and elegant wedding for this intimate gathering. I loved the use of dahlias in the florals, the sparkle of the cocktail tablecloths and especially the intimacy of the candlelit dinner set in a small private dining room at The Inn at Spanish Bay. Molly was one of the most calm brides I ever photographed and it was a joy to connect with that calm and gorgeous face through my camera all day long. Stunning.

Calistoga Vineyard Wedding - Tanya and Allen

October 24, 2014

Oh my! What a wedding, what a crowd and what a couple! I loved shooting this wedding. Not only was it simply gorgeously executed by Mary Ellen and her team from Off the Beaten Path Weddings, but Tanya and Allen and their guests were all so full of love. It was a giant love-fest!

This private residence was the perfect "off-the-beaten-path" venue for this truly picturesque wedding. The guests got slow glimpses as the ceremony in the late afternoon transitioned up the hill to the glorious views of the mountains just north of Calistoga and then back to the lovely lawn area for dining and dancing as the sun set over the vineyard on the hillside. This wedding was so perfect for this couple because they love wine country, the forest, camping, and hiking. The location not only had vineyards and rolling hills, but there's even a small redwood grove in which they nestled a lounge area with a dessert and coffee bar for later in the evening. The grove and the dining area were strung with lights making the evening portion of the wedding just as magical as the late afternoon and sunset portions of the day!

There were so many personal touches beyond the gorgeous florals, the luscious family style meal and of course event design done by Mary Ellen of Off the Beaten Path, but friends, family, bride and groom also contributed in so many special ways! Tanya's sister married the couple and helped design the ceremony so it was personal to Tanya and Allen. The bi-lingual ceremony included touches from both the bride and groom's background including ringing Swiss cowbells to mark the official moment they were married.

Overall, one heck of a perfect wedding and one terrific couple. So much LOVE! Hooray for Tanya and Allen! I feel so fortunate to have shared in such an intimate day of their lives!

The Firehouse at Fort Mason + Chinese Banquet = Stacey and David

October 14, 2014

Such a sweet couple and such a DIY couple! Also super talented with a LOT of energy. David and Stacey had a marathon day starting with a tea ceremony in Sacramento in the morning and ending with a traditional Chinese banquet at the Far East Cafe in San Francisco's Chinatown. It's been a while since I photographed a Chinese Banquet! I forgot how fun it is to watch course after course come out while the Lion Dances and entertainment go on!

In the middle of the day was their sweet ceremony at The Firehouse at Fort Mason. It was a gorgeous day and views of the bay were clear and sunny. Friends and family gathered for the traditional American ceremony and Stacey stunned all in her appropriately blowy handmade gown. Not just handmade, but handmade BY STACEY! Gorgeous! This couple had so much of their heart and souls in this wedding starting with Stacey's handmade gown of her own design, their travel themed invitations and reception decor (they love to travel!) and David even made the wedding cake himself. These two are definitely talented. Oh and did I mention, they are also an adorable couple and managed throughout it all to have genuine fun with me and their guests. I'm impressed and will forever remember this darling couple. Congrats to David and Stacey!

Ralston White Retreat - Mill Valley Wedding of Jennie and Eric

September 10, 2014

Everything about the wedding was totally dreamy, from the flowers and the redwoods to the bride and groom! I loved shooting at this venue which I've never shot at before. The Ralston White Retreat is tucked in a grove of redwoods on the side of Mt. Tamalpais (Mt. Tam to locals) in Mill Valley, Marin County. If you love quiet, redwoods and a location close to SF this is it!

Forest was important to Jennie and Eric because they spend a lot of time hiking and in the outdoors so being amongst the redwoods for their wedding was pretty special to them. I loved shooting their portrait session on the dirt road on the property. The light was filtering through and Jennie looked like a woodland fairy!

Jennie's sister envisioned the style of the decor and florals and Flora Grubb executed the look beautifully. The food by Le Papillon was incredible (the vendors were also treated to this yummy food) and the little dancing room was simple and pretty with white balloons floating to the ceiling. This was a lovely group and an equally lovely wedding! Congrats to Jennie and Eric!

Best of 2013!

February 7, 2014

So excited to share my best of 2013 show! I can't believe how fortunate I am to photograph such happy couples and gorgeous locations. Reviewing this made me weepy. So many beautiful couples and emotional moments. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do. A big thank you to all of the vendors and locations for giving me such gorgeousness to photograph and a super big congratulations to all of my 2013 clients. I hope you all have many happy years ahead! With love, Julie

Chileno Valley Ranch Wedding - Anne and John

October 1, 2013

Oh how I loved the gorgeousness of this wedding and how absolutely RELAXING it was for all. It helps that Anne and John are incredibly low-key. That translated to all facets of their wedding and made for a truly enjoyable experience for everyone. This was my first time shooting at

Chileno Valley Ranch

, a private ranch in the heart of the Sonoma ranching community. I love the rolling golden California hills already and then add a barn, a gorgeous Victorian home and lush gardens and you have the PERFECT setting.

Madeline Trait did the flowers, which were perfectly fitting with all the antique touches of the furnishings and other details, and I LOVED that they did a pig roast by Pam Ferrari Custom Catering. And the cake by Della Fattoria? To die for! Here's a sneak peek!

Campovida Wedding - Julie and Matt

September 29, 2013

Magical. Magical. Magical! Wow. I just LOVE shooting at Campovida. Julie and Matt chose this location because Matt's family has traveled up to their lake house in the area since Matt's childhood and when they saw the property they just knew how perfect it was for their wedding. I loved that Julie said about their sunset portrait session that they felt like they were discovering "secret gardens" as I led them through the property for the session. The property is so large that you could spend an entire day "discovering" it's many delights. For a destination wedding, it can't be beat. It will wow the guests. Julie and Matt put their hearts and souls into their wedding day with loads of individual and hand-crafted touches. The couple handmade their programs, name tags, menus and ribbon napkin rings! Grapevine Catering served an incredible meal, with a super sweet cupcake dessert by Kara's Cupcakes. Most important, however, was an incredibly special weekend spent with family and close friends. Again, what a magical place to do so. From the pictures, it looks like they had the time of their lives! Such a sweet couple!

Beaulieu Garden Wedding - Danielle and Tomas

September 3, 2013

More from the gorgeous wedding of Danielle and Tomas! If you didn't see Danielle's very sweet thank you note to me and their sneak peek photos take a look at this previous post. Paula Le Duc Fine Catering and Dee Merz outdid themselves as usual for this event. Beaulieu Garden is always a luscious location for a wedding, but the food, the flowers and the little details wowed the guests. There was even a pizza bar at cocktail hour! Danielle and Tomas only had eyes for each other, but somehow managed to entertain all their lovely guests and have fun too. What a perfect day! Congrats to Danielle and Tomas!

Auberge Du Soleil Wedding - Sarah and Mauro

September 3, 2013

A wedding at Auberge Du Soleil is always special, what with the views of the Napa Valley and the food and wine! Oh my! But this international couple made it really shine with their Venetian theme! Sarah and Mauro live in Italy (Mauro is from Italy) and they brought a little bit of Italy with them in their wedding style. I LOVED the Venetian masks and their grand entry with wigs! Spectacular! Sarah's Maggie Sottero gown took my breath away, as did the lovely flower arrangements of hydrangeas, succulents, brown pods and coral roses by Katharina Stuart. And the cupcakes by Perfect Endings? Well, just perfect!

Beaulieu Garden Wedding - Danielle and Tomas Sneak Peek!

July 26, 2013

I was so thrilled to get this amazing thank you e-mail just days after Danielle's wedding. After all the hard work it was just GREAT to see this super thoughtful email! Of course it was a joy to photograph Danielle and Tomas and their gorgeous wedding at

Beaulieu Garden

, but it's also a very large property to navigate (especially in a mini-heat wave!) and was so nice to get this super nice acknowledgement from Danielle! Here's what she had to say:

Hi Julie!

I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work (and patience!) that went into photographing our wedding last Friday. Your professionalism and calm demeanor were EXACTLY what we needed. We especially appreciated how you moved things along as quickly as possible, without sacrificing great shots.

Again, thank you again for all of your time, and we SO look forward to seeing all of our pictures!

Best,

Danielle and Tomas

Auberge Du Soleil Wedding - Amie and Christopher

February 5, 2013

Loved this tiny Christmas week wedding at Auberge Du Soleil. As usual the team at Auberge Du Soleil in Napa Valley provided the perfect food and service for Amie and Christopher and despite the very cool weather, everyone was cozy and warm by the fire at their intimate dining table, with arrangements by Seasons Floral Design. When it's only 12 people and just family, you have hours to eat drink, celebrate and catch up with each other! Given Amie and Chris are both active military it was a nice break to be able to relax with their family and get married while they were at it! And Amie looked so very sweet in her Allure bridal gown!

Carmel Valley Ranch Wedding - Alice and Jason

January 16, 2013

Rain, rain go away! But it didn't damper this wedding day! What do you do when you're wedding is supposed to take place on the vineyard lawn and it's been raining for hours? Trust in your super team of experts to wrangle all the last minute changes for an indoor ceremony! Lauren of Downey Street Events, the team at Carmel Valley Ranch and Christine Cater pulled it together to make all the guests cozy and warm for the last minute indoor ceremony! As wedding day luck would have it, the weather cleared enough for an outdoor photo session and outdoor cocktails on the Carmel Valley Ranch terrace with raging fire pits. The fire pits continued to rage into the evening when guests wandered back out after dinner for handmade donuts by Harvey's Donuts (YUM!) and s'mores over the fires. Jason and Alice danced to "We've Got Tonight" by Bob Segar. A song I hadn't heard in YEARS and LOVE and continued to dance to a great set by DJ DNA Entertainment. What a BLAST of a wedding and gorgeous too! Congrats to Alice and Jason!

Calistoga Ranch Wedding - Kristen and Ladd

November 16, 2012

Was happy to photograph at Calistoga Ranch recently! Dee Merz and her team did a lovely job of setting up an intimate poolside ceremony, cocktail hour and drop-dead gorgeous dinner in the wine cave. The vibrant orange flower arrangements by Grant & Company were perfect for fall. Kristen looks so incredibly glamorous in her Amsale gown and Ladd in his hand-tied bow tie! So classic and gorgeous was this wedding centered on family, food and wine.

Vintage Military Wedding Julie Mikos Photographer 1

Carmel Mission and the Memory Garden, Monterey - Katey and David

October 3, 2012

When Katey first contacted me to shoot her wedding, she was in Afghanistan! Katey and David are both in the military and I was happy to be available to shoot their wedding for them and that Katey is back safe and sound. I was also happy to be back at the Carmel Mission church. It's such a gorgeous location for wedding photographs and their wedding was one of the last before the church starts their big renovation. I also loved Katey and David's vintage forties theme and all the personal details. Katey wore her grandmother's wedding gown, adding her own personal flair of blue lace at the bottom! And guests were treated to bottles of Limoncello, made by the bride's aunt with her great-grandmother's homemade recipe. The lemon's came from David's grandmother's tree! I thought the invitation RSVP was especially clever and I loved those fun robes Katey gave her bridesmaids. They all looked so vintage and colorful for the getting ready photos! Congrats to Katey and David!

B.R. Cohn Sonoma Wedding - Kristy and Charles

September 25, 2012

So excited to share Kristy and Charles picture perfect Sonoma Valley wedding at B.R. Cohn Winery. Leslie Struble of Dandelion Events planned a lovely wedding with mini olive trees, old shutters to hold place cards and a color scheme that was bright and cheerful. I loved the fruit that PoppyStone Floral Culture sprinkled throughout the floral arrangements too. The hill of oak tress surrounded by vineyards was a spectacular place for the ceremony and I'm sure every guest was amazed at the light and beauty. Then the wonderful surprise of Kristy arriving in an antique to-die-for convertible! GORGEOUS! We had such fun during our photo session too, taking advantage of the beautiful late summer light, the vineyards and the car! Congratulations, Kristy and Charles!

Private Ranch Wedding - Flora and Andrew!

August 24, 2012

Congratulations to Flora and Andrew! What a gorgeous wedding! Alicia of Alicia K Designs and her team did a phenomenal job transforming a working ranch and hundred-year-old barn into a festive and intimate location for a wedding. The ceremony site was set with hay bales covered with pink fabric, a very sweet detail. But that was hardly the only sweet detail of the day! The couple included a popcorn bar complete with a reclaimed wood top, stunning bouquets of pink and coral roses by Nasrin and Momo of La Lavande and a cupcake display filled with delicious creations by Sibby's Cupcakery. (Did I mention you could choose your cupcake flavor from an antique cabinet?) An old-fashioned, upright piano and player set an Old West tone during cocktail hour. But the barn was truly transformed for the DJ's set later in the evening, when everyone let loose for loads of dancing. Serious fun was had by all at this wedding!

Tra Vigne Restaurant, Napa Valley Wedding - Athena and Arthur!

August 16, 2012

Sweet, sweet, sweet! Athena and Arthur are such a super sweet pair! She is definitely the Yin to his ultra-silly personality Yang and I just loved shooting their intimate wedding at the lovely and oh-so-good Tra Vigne restaurant in St. Helena, Napa Valley. I've never shot a wedding at Tra Vigne and have heard nothing but raves about the food and was pleased to finally see it. What a lovely courtyard setting and wonderful food. Set in St. Helena, it's the perfect location for an intimate weekend wedding. Athena and Arthur seemed to have a ball socializing with their guests and enjoying a long, leisurely dinner despite the fact that Athena was sick with bronchitis! You would have never guessed. She looked gorgeous and glowing as Arthur entertained the crowd! Congratulations Athena and Arthur!

Healdsburg Country Gardens Sonoma Wedding - Jen and Dario

July 20, 2012

I couldn't believe it when I heard Jen did all of the detail projects for the wedding! Loved the burlap signs and the light and airy feel to the whole wedding. Healdsburg Country Gardens is one of my favorite venues for a wine country wedding. It's small, intimate and lovely and the owner of the property couldn't be nicer and more accommodating. Maria Philbin is a wonderful florist and as usual, I had fun photographing the flowers and all the little details Jen provided. She made everything from chalkboard signs to burlap table runners! Jen and Dario and I had a great time on a rainy evening in SF shooting their e-session and it makes for such a relaxing time for all of us during the wedding day photo session. They did great and seemed to have a terrific time while we were shooting. They are a sweet and special couple and had a gorgeous wedding! Congratulations Jen and Dario!

Running Rabbit Ranch - Sonoma Wedding of Marisa and Ryan

July 9, 2012

Lovely summer details in such a perfect sunny wine country setting! Marisa and Ryan found Running Rabbit Ranch, a lovely little venue tucked in Sonoma wine country complete with a white barn and green vineyards. They hung colorful lanterns from the gorgeous oak trees and used sunny sunflowers to brighten all the tables. Marisa was like a sunflower herself, glowing in the summer light with huge smiles brightening everyone's day. Gorgeous!
