Eric and Erin chose to have a very intimate ceremony at the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, witnessed by Eric’s sister and brother-in-law (and me!). The two of them exchanged romantic love letters and wedding gifts before their “I do’s.” Interestingly, they know each other so well that they even got the same card for each other. How cute! Their “I Do BBQ” reception was held later at the Coyote Ranch. It was a big fun party! Erin and Eric had some cute handgun cookies at the reception and we all had some fun with that! [ read more … ]

Marie and John got married at one of our favorite venues in Half Moon Bay, the Long Branch Saloon and Farms. Marie had been collecting vintage plates over the years, and along with their thoughtfully-designed table centerpieces, they made each table a perfect, unique, rustic setting that wowed everyone.

I can’t wait to share with you Van and Matt’s stunning wedding photos! Their wedding was like a dream come true with a breathtaking chapel ceremony and a reception that was full of surprises. It started with a DIY boozequet that Van made herself — a beautiful, handcrafted silk bridal bouquet with a metal straw for drinking the beer cleverly hidden in the base… genius! She also designed her own dress, incorporating Vietnamese culture into their American-style wedding. [ read more … ]

Have you ever met a couple for the first time yet felt that they were your longtime friends? Meet Kim and Brandon! They were madly in love and super laid-back and fun. And on top of all that, Kim is a singer and song writer (anyone who knows me would know how important singing is to me)! When Kim sang the song called “Feels Like Home” for Brandon during their ceremony, it touched my heart and I teared up. Her voice was beautiful!! Kim and Brandon made a lot of the wedding details themselves and we loved the Western-themed details throughout the whole wedding. Loved how they incorporated their baby dog Django into the cake topper 🙂 [ read more … ]

Nels and Lindsey’s wedding was full of vibrant colors and adorable details. Lindsey was so thoughtful that she incorporated a piece of lace from her mother’s wedding dress into her bouquet, which made her “something old” extra special! They also had a super cute “ABC’s of Marriage Advice” scrapbook made by a room of kindergarteners, and it made their candy table extra sweet!! I also just have to mention that Lindsey and Nels met through music, karaoke to be specific. So they had a karaoke jockey instead of a traditional DJ at their wedding reception, and the couple gifted each other a song — touching and hilarious at the same time!

Congratulations Lindsey and Nels. We really enjoyed capturing your wedding day story and wish you two all the very best!
