Finally! Part II of Nick and Emma’s amazing wedding! I have been trying to figure out what pictures to post for their reception.. and finally gave up. There are too many. I can’t choose. I love them all! So instead I’m going to show you a couple more of their portraits and the slideshow. Lucky you

Nick & Emma congratulations again! You had such an amazingly beautiful wedding and I was honored to be a part of it!

What do you get when you cross an absolutely GORGEOUS bride with a handsome groom on a fabulous late summer day in a picturesque vineyard in northern California? Why, Nick and Emma’s wedding of course! I know I say this about all of my weddings (because it’s true!) but this was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever seen! Emma looked positively radiant and Nick was just beaming from ear to ear. They had the fantastic backdrop of the Oak Farm Vineyards for their big day and it was simply stunning all around! I just flew back yesterday and I’m still getting my bearings, so the full blog post will have to wait for a day or two. For now here’s a little bitty sneak peek. Congratulations Nick & Emma!

I knew this was going to happen… start a wedding blog post for a fabulous wedding and get completely carried away! There are far too many photos in this post but oh well… they’re all gorgeous so I guess they’ll have to stay

Sarah and Eli are such a fabulous couple! They are so full of life and love and did I mention they’re super cute too? They got married at Levyland in Carlsbad, a fantastic location right on the beach that I just loved! Not only is the ocean breeze and view spectacular, so is the inside of the house. As a former architect I thought it was a pretty cool spot to shoot getting ready pictures. Lots of big windows, beautiful natural light, and oh yeah… a super cute bride and bridal party Onto the pictures!

Sarah is teeny tiny right down to her feet. These have got to be the smallest bridal shoes I’ve ever seen… size 4 1/2 I think. So cute!

How gorgeous is this bride?! Seriously fabulous!

With her mom and sister… awwwww

I love the moment right before the wedding with the bride and her father, it’s one of my favorite parts of the wedding day!

What a gorgeous location for a wedding right?!

Call me crazy but I think Sarah was excited to be getting married… her face right after being announced as husband and wife

After the ceremony we headed to the beach for some portraits. I love the blue dresses with the sand… such a classy look!

The guys

One of my favorites!

The reception started right around the “magic hour” with amazing sun kissed light… it was like a mythical land with all of the hanging flowers and lanterns… seriously gorgeous! I couldn’t get enough of it!

I told you these two were cute… even eating cake they’re cute

First dance. Another favorite!

Sarah and Eli your wedding was amazing! I wish you all the best in the future… congratulations!!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous wedding with an amazing and sweet couple. I just love Sarah and Eli and I can’t wait to show you off their wedding I couldn’t choose just one for the sneak peek so instead you get to see two.

How gorgeous is Sarah?!

More images to come soon. And on an unrelated note… just a quick reminder – only two days left to enter the giveaway! All entries must be received my midnight tomorrow (Monday August 10th) so don’t forget to enter and good luck! Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

This weekend I attended one of the best weddings ever (other than my own of course)… the wedding of my very own little sister Allison. I had strict instructions that as the matron of honor and NOT the photographer I was to be “off duty” during the wedding so you won’t be seeing any portraits or ceremony shots from me (hard to hide a camera in a bouquet anyways). Even with those instructions I couldn’t leave my camera behind so what you will see coming up in the next few days are some getting ready shots (ok a LOT of getting ready shots) from before the amazing official photographer Mindy arrived, and also a few that I snuck in while Allison was looking the other way after the ceremony

The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and of course the flowers were as well since they were provided by one of my all time favorites, Annette Gomez! Check out this teeny tiny sneak peek of how gorgeous the details were… love love love!

Allison and Mark congratulations! I love you two! Have fun in Jamaica and don’t forget to send a postcard
