Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda Wedding

I recently had the honor of photographing Paul and Amanda's wedding at Kennolyn's Hilltop Hacienda. Paul and Amanda are two of the most wonderful, down to earth couple one could ever hope to meet, much less work for!! They had so many unique personal touches that made the day so special. Paul hand-carved necklaces for the whole bridal party.. they were something to behold.. so beautiful. Amanda is the owner of Laughin Gal Floral and yes, she did her own flowers for her big day and they were stunning!!  To honor and celebrate their parents long.. loving marriages, Paul and Amanda gave their first dance to them.. it was so sweet!! I got a bit choked up..for sure!!I can't express the warmth and hospitality  that Paul + Amanda,  their friends and family showed us- it was great! I also wanted to thank the staff at Kennolyn.. Carrie..  you rock! She is a great coordinator to work with and the whole staff was so attentive..personal and professional. So here are a few images from the day.. enjoy!!

I was so happy for the opportunity  to work with Cassie and Theron on their big day! The wedding was held at Cowells Beach in Santa Cruz. We started the day off with the girls getting ready and the bridal party shots at the Sea and Sand Inn. The ceremony was beautiful.. could not have asked for better weather.. then on to the reception at Coconut Grove at the beach and boardwalk. It was an amazing day and got some great images thru-out the day.. check them out!

Lover's Point, Pacific Grove Wedding

Michelle & Robert Tied the knot on 08-09-08, at Lovers point in Pacific Grove. It was a beautiful wedding day and the weather seemed perfect. You never know what you will get on the coast- it was a bit overcast.. perfect lighting.. for portraits and cleared later in the day with bright blue skies!! Robert and Michelle live in Fresno, i get so excited when clients from out of town decide to get married in the area and enjoy our beautiful coast! I started the day off at the Asilomar Conference Grounds for the boy's portraits the were  so easy  to work with they all fell into place.. like they had all done it a million times before!! While Elizabeth of Elizabeth Balch Photography worked with the girls at Berwick Park!

 I have to say when i first met Robert + Michelle last year, i immediately hit if off with them and i knew they were going to have an awesome wedding! They are an adorable couple and  are very much in love. Both have great  friends and family that were fun getting to know during the day and were truly a pleasure to work with!! 

oh, the flowers were provided by Bella Donna's, who did a remarkable job!! They were beautiful!!
