What a fun crowd this was… see for yourself…even the close-to-freezing-temperatures (FYI it did SNOW about 2 hours before the ceremony!) couldn’t put a stop to the partying that went on. I am so grateful to have been part of Amy & David’s unforgettable day and to have made 2 wonderful new friends in the process. Congratulations you two!! I can’t wait to meet that bouncing baby boy of yours before too long! Oh, and here are their engagement shots from earlier this year – they have amazing chemistry and it shows…

This is the 4th rained out session this spring… Well, since there was a lot of family in town for Laurel’s 2nd birthday, we couldn’t postpone and so I created a sweet little set indoors. I also had the pleasure to meet the oh-so-adorable addition to the family – Bethany. So cute and in great spirits too. Laurel of course changed quite a bit since our last session and she had a lot of fun with her brand new tricycle which grandma generously gifted. Good to see you all again!

It all started with a super last minute venue change (we are talking 24 hrs prior and no new venue yet!!), double bookings, loss of power, and on top of that a downpour 10 min before the outdoor ceremony was about to start. Just terrible luck (then again it’s supposed to be good luck to have rain on your wedding day)…But Gennie and John held it together, took care of business, and with the help of their amazing family and the great staff at Gainey Vineyard put together a beautiful wedding. They ended up having the ceremony in the cozy & intimate barrel room. It was actually a really cool spot to get married – if you like wine that is ;-) . It wasn’t an easy shoot by any means but we made it work and the pictures show how much fun Gennie & John had even with all the stress involved. And right before sunset we actually got a few minutes of sun – yay! Muddy soil and fancy heels & a white dress aren’t the best combination but Gennie was game for a quick excursion and got rewarded with a beautiful rainbow (and a husband!). Everyone really pulled together and had a blast. I feel honored to be part of this crazy wedding day…Congratulations Gennie & John!

Since everything about her big day changed last minute, I couldn’t be there for Gennie’s hair and make up but I got some awesome shots of  her having fun with her energetic nephew Matthew.

Here comes the rain…

Get another friend to make you a fabulous dress, one to lend his office space for the after party & the classy old Mercedes to travel in style. Being friends with a bunch of photographers sure doesn’t hurt either ;-) Congratulations Christy & Ken, your wedding was magical! Thanks for letting me capture your moments…

Thanks to my dear friend and amazing photographer Zackery Canepari for contributing these fun party shots. (Make sure to check out his series of poignant videos on sunny California – “California is a place” – Congrats on getting into Sundance!!)
