Meghan & Eric

Full-disclosure: Meghan is a professional dancer and so are many of her friends. Eric is a scientist whose work involves the study of trees. That combination made for a gorgeous ceremony in a redwood grove and a really fun night of dancing at the Berkeley Botanical Gardens. Eric is solid, cool, and one of the sweetest guys I’ve met. Meghan is smart, warm, and funny. They make a terrific couple. It was a warm night, love was in the air, the flowers were blooming. What can I say? It was great.

Here is their engagement session.

 

 

Courtney & Mark’s Pebble Beach, Garden Wedding

Courtney and Mark married at a gorgeous private residence in Pebble Beach on a balmy day in July. I know weddings are a lot of work, and of course this one was no different- I saw lots of family members and friends pitching in throughout the day to make everything look beautiful (and it did) and have everything run smoothly (and it did.) But something about this wedding and about Courtney and Mark made it all seem effortless. They were both so relaxed and really taking it all in and thoroughly enjoying their day.

 

 

Laura & Scott

Laura was hoping for a sunny day when she married Scott. Laura is awesome; she makes things happen. So, of course, it was sunny and about as beautiful as it gets in Carmel on their wedding day. But seriously, Laura is awesome and so is Scott.  At the reception, Scott got up on stage with the band and played a song he had written himself, and after the reception, along with a wedding guest, serenaded Laura at the piano bar next tot he reception venue at the Carmel Mission Ranch. There were so many moments during this wedding where I could see what a great match Scott and Laura are for each other. For one thing, they are both very caring and their first concern was always for the comfort of their guests. Their wedding was full of loving details and beautiful moments.
