January Wedding at Rancho Pescadero




Beach weddings are wonderful and relaxed usually. Cassie and Ken's wedding was beautiful in its purity and simplicity and I was honored to be a part of such a small intimate ceremony. Rancho Pescadero always does such a great job with all the special touches! See slideshow for more!

Quail Hollow Ranch Wedding

Quail Hollow Ranch in Felton, California has real country atmosphere and beautiful landscapes.  Freya and Joe had grown up not far from there so it was a perfect place to have their wedding and reception. Warm, friendly family and friends made homemade pies and yummy desserts. A great day and a great couple!

Hiddenbrooke Wedding Reception




One of the fun things about having a reception at a golf course is you get to ride around in the carts!
It was a beautiful day for Marcos and Kathy to celebrate their wedding. We started at St. Pauls Church and then went for photographs by the bridge. Then on to the the huge banquet hall at Hiddenbrooke for fun.

Petaluma Wedding


A perfect day for a wedding on the new moon of late summer in Petaluma.  We started at St. Vincent's which is a beautiful cathedral, walked along the river and then out to Rooster Run Golf Course as the golden sun got lower in the sky. Twenty handsome people in the bridal party!

Rancho Pescadero Wedding, Todos Santos, BCS



Love the colors and warmth of a Mexican Wedding! Rancho Pescadero is a beautiful natural setting right by the beach which feels so comfortable with a rich decor and character.  I was impressed by their friendliness and excellent service. My clients were handsome and fun and we had a blast. The Mariachi band was also fantastico! Please see slideshow for a bigger selection of images from the day.

Calegari Vineyards Wedding, Sonoma



Getting ready on a hot summers day in a beautiful setting. 
All the care and attention to detail to making the ritual and ceremony memorable is evident.
I really enjoyed the music of Avalanche Violin and Guitar Duo for several hours and through dinner, and can recommend them for classical, jazz, bluegrass/celtic and popular music www.violinandguitarduo.com





Fun With Rings



The Rings! So many creative possibilities it is hard to know where to start.  If there is enough time at the beginning of a wedding then I use whatever I can find in the room to make a interesting photograph of the new wedding bands. Traditional, contemporary or artistic style?  Flowers, stems and window light highlight this enduring symbol of love.

Healdsburg Weddding by Covered Bridge



Way down a country road and inside a covered bridge in Healdsburg was the wedding location for Michelle and Justin.  The bridal party arrived in a beautifully restored 1937 bus to walk down the aisle just in time. The evening was both elegant and rustic and tons of fun!
