Now in it’s second season, Meril’s Original Hat Design is boasting another round of millinery deliciousness. It’s a beautiful Fall line and I’ve had a great time photographing it. With hats, Meril does what Godiva does with chocolates– an addict is at once, ravenous! I can’t wait to see them all online. Have a great season to all of the staff at Meril’s Originals– Enjoy this sneak peek!
If I had to categorize this wedding, I would call it a classic, romantic wedding. In Catherine you had your classic “lady” and in Hastings, your classic southern “gentlemen”. The day was toned with subtle romantic details– Catherine’s sleek and beautiful vintage gown, romantic and beautiful floral designs everywhere (the talents of one of SF Bay Area’s greatest kept secrets, Florist, Monica Riner). The ceremony was at St Augustine, a 100 plus year old Catholic Church in the Rockridge district of Oakland. The reception was held under a lush trellis in the back of Somerset Restaurant also in Rockridge but it held the intimate feel of dinner at someone’s home in the french countryside. Simply beautiful. Enjoy this sneak peek Catherine and Hastings, the rest is soon to come. Thank you for sharing this beautiful day!
I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of two very near and dear friends in Libre, Colorado. I can’t say enough about the serenity of the land that they chose to get married on. I never wanted to put down my camera– the white clouds kept clamoring for my attention– the sky thought that it was the bride but I managed to stay focus. Their vows, the landscape, their smiles, the smiles of their families and friends were all in unison and they were just beautiful. I had to figure out the best way to limit this blog post (chiming in at 42 sneak peek images) I decided to focus on a few intimate moments that most guests would not have had the chance to see during the day. I hope that you enjoy this preview of what’s to come, Luz and Christine. Thanks to you both for sharing such an incredible weekend with me.
