Corner Stone Gardens Wedding - Sonoma CA

Zach and Alison were married at the Corner Stone Gardens in Sonoma. www.cornerstonegardens.com Corner Stone is a unique location with 20 different gardens; each designed by a world-famous landscape architect.

One of my favorite pieces is the blue tree; check it out below.

After shooting images at several of the garden locations Zach and Alison joined their wedding guests for a banquet dinner served by Corner Stone. I love their Halibut; its so yummy!

This wasn't a wedding with lots of traditions, rather a grand celebration. Cupcakes by www.debbiedoescakes.net instead of cake and dancing instead of bouquet and garter tosses. Let the party begin! You could see the guests were really having a good time as the dance floor was in constant use while DJ Dave www.fogcityent.com kept the dance music flowing.

Villa Montalvo and Palo Alto Country Club Wedding

Jodie and Daniel were married at Villa Montalvo. This mansion is a spectacular wedding venue. The bridal room has an ultra sleek vanity that reminds me of old Hollywood - see pictures below. Outside the mansion there is a brick court yard that is perfect for ceremonies.

Their reception took place at Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club. A classy club with beautiful views.

On the way to the reception the limo driver took a quick detour to Safeway per the the bridal parties request. Something about beer?? I'm glad I was on the limo's tail because I've always wanted to get some pictures of a bride waltzing through the market isles. Fun!

Dawn Ranch Wedding - Guerneville, CA

Yes, I know I am way, way, way behind on my blog.

All I can do is beg for universal forgiveness and move forward with the best intentions of keeping it current.

Now on with the Story Book Wedding Day!

Keith and Stacie were married on June 9, 2007 at Dawn Ranch Lodge in Guerneville, CA. What a beautiful location! What a gorgeous bride!
The wedding party and their guests all stayed at the lodge in quaint little cottages. The ceremony took place on a spacious green lawn setup for the occasion. Following the ceremony was a cocktail hour and then dinner served outdoors. The caterers, Bon Appetit served a delicious meal.
Shortly after dinner, dancing was held on a large wood deck near the lodge pool; where guest danced late into the night.
