Adrienne is the wife of Garrett, whose brother is my wife's good friend's fiance. Did you follow that? That's the beauty of referral -nly business! Adrienne, (AJ) and Garrett got married at the Big Canyon Country Club, that just underwent a multi-million dollar renovation, and man it showed. The stone work was breathtaking. This could be the nicest Country CLub wedding I have ever shot. I suppose the fact that AJ was gorgeous has a little something to do with it. There were so many fun details that made this wedding special. The brooch bouquet, to the fancy slider food stations, to the masquerade masks at the end of the reception. It was an amazing wedding and I hope these photos do it justice!

This wedding was one to speak about.  I met Clara and Vi over Skype for our first meeting. She and her fiance were living in Japan and China at the time, so early morning consultations via the computer were the norm. We then met in San Francisco a few months back for a super fun engagement session. They planned for destination wedding in the Napa Valley. If you have never been to the Carneros Inn, you need to check it out. It is a gorgeous resort just outside of the city of Napa. It has amazing restaurants, breath-taking views and a killer staff. Clara and Vi had a quaint wedding, small on guests, but HUGE on style and personal touches. Everything from the custom vintage window with the guest's assignments, to the the gorgeous lamb chops, to the personalized butterfly name tags was exceptionally creative and beautiful. Clara and I started with a boudoir shoot, VERY tasteful, earlier in the morning. You'll have to ask her to see those, as i didn't post them here. It was a wonderful wedding, with great people against a stunning back drop. 

Everyone who I told we were shooting in Lake Chelan responded, "It's gorgeous up there!" They were right. I was thrilled to shoot Mia's wedding. Her brother, Ian was one of my college roommates back in 2001 at Cal Poly. It was great to see him and his entire family. Tom's family has owned and operated Campbell's Resort in Lake Chelan for, I want to say, 80 years...? Maybe more. But its a gorgeous property, and located on the second deepest lake in the nation! The wedding party were super fun, down to earth, and very classy in their black attire.  It made a perfect contrast with the rustic apple orchards and brown fiends. It was a wonderful weekend with good food, great people a fun boat ride and an amazing couple!
