Drew and Lisa - Nestldown Wedding, Los Gatos, CA

This wedding was especially meaningful to me as it was my sister's! As a guest this time, I played the "relative with the camera in everyone's face" role... so of course, I still captured a few photos of the day. The setting at Nestldown was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. The entire event couldn't have gone more smoothly and was such a blast! From the mini wedding cakes to the community cookie bar (a Pittsburgh tradition brought to the West Coast), all of the creativity the couple put into the wedding made it completely their own. Congrats to Drew and Lisa on your big day!

Love this spread... little wedding cakes inspired by the Wayne Thiebaud painting, "Cakes"

The Cookie Bar! Guests were invited to bake a batch of cookies for everyone to enjoy! Such a great idea! And so many cookies to try! Every time a plate would empty, a new variety of cookie would be brought out!

Leave it to the scientists to have "science-themed" cookies as part of the cookie bar!

Getting Ready - Pruneyard Plaza Hotel

Albert and Edlyn - Casa Real Wedding, Pleasanton, CA

Albert and Edlyn are friends of mine and Jeannie's and we had such a great time at their wedding at Casa Real! While just a few tears were shed during their ceremony, there were many more laughs to celebrate their big day. Who knew that Edlyn's father had so much energy! I swear he was on the dance floor longer then anyone else that night! Congrats to the beautiful couple and thank you for letting us be part of it!

Fred and Nga Part 1: Snow Session - Truckee, CA

Although Fred and Nga still have an "official" e-session coming up, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some pictures in the snow coming back home from snowboarding. Despite getting a little wet, we braved the cold and marched out into a field we saw off the freeway. A little freezing wind didn't stop us from getting some great images! Can't wait for the real shoot now!
