Redwood City Historical Museum Wedding

Jt and Kristie rock!

They decided to see each other before the ceremony so we could take most of the family and bride/groom pictures early in the day. No rushing or stressing out (for me or them).

They were married at the Redwood City Historical Museum that was previously used as the Redwood City Courthouse. Dinner followed in a courtroom upstairs. Yep, a courtroom with a stain glass ceiling! Dancing was back on the first floor, under another huge stain glass dome. They don't make buildings like this anymore!

Thanks to Sylvia for 2nd shooting and taking those great fish eye images!

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!

Menorca and Krissi Island, Crete Video

Hi Ya´ll,
Bryon and I arrived in Menorca a few days ago and have been driving around exploring this little island. Menorca has very diverse scenery with rocky landscape and cliffs in the north and limestone and sandy beaches in the south; its fabulous! To top it off the people are really friendly too.

I haven´t had a chance to upload images yet, but Bryon was able to get this short video online from when we were on Krissi Island, Crete.

Tuscany, Italy - Wish I was Photographing a Wedding Here!

Bellissimo!
It is sooo pretty in Italy! We arrived in Roma a few days ago and had a baggage scare, but after an hour or so of waiting all was good (long story). I love Rome, its my new favorite big city!
After two nights in Rome we picked up a car and drove to Tuscany area. We are staying in a place called Barberino Val di Elsa. Its just north of Sienna. We went to San Gimignano last night for dinner. The views are awe inspiring and the menu prices were jaw dropping (just cause the dollar is so weak).
Today we are in Sienna and we hiked to the top of the tallest bell tower in the Piazza (cant remember the name). Here is the stair case view and a view from the top.
