Sarah & RJ are a “Coffee Meets Bagel” match made in heaven – though, as they say, barely! Sarah almost didn’t check her matches that day, and if she hadn’t…well, she did, and here we are! And between their jobs in tech (self-driving car development) and pharmacology (developing a cancer-curing medication) they are the quintessential […]

My LOVES: I’m the family photographer now! I photographed the bride’s sister Crystal’s wedding too, and got to not only see Crystal and her hubby again, but also see their little kiddo too. xo xo Ramekins is simply a lovely location for a wedding day, through and through – gorgeous gardens, pretty architecture, and lots […]

OUR LOVES: The genuine, loving generosity of these two grooms ❤️ The travel theme throughout – suitcases, globes, airplanes and more to tie in the grooms’ love of travel (of course), and also Brian’s day-job as an airline pilot! (All flawlessly designed by Sharon Burns of Napa Valley Custom Events 👍)  Succulents, more succulents, and pampas […]

One day, I’ll remarry my husband of 20 years, and we’ll celebrate just like Mary & Chris did recently: in a lovely vineyard garden at sunset with relaxed (yet lush) picnic-style decor and a warm night to spend dancing under the stars. And if my man and I can feel as content, relaxed and simply […]

I was so excited for the Kesley & Josh’s Bodega wedding as the planning was taking place, and it definitely did not disappoint! In fact, their wedding totally blew my expectations out of the water. From ocean-front getting ready spots in the coastal town of Bodega Bay, to a standing-room-only ceremony in the darling community […]
