Nadine and John were married 05.23.2009 at Nadine’s families home located in the foothills.  Her bouquet as well as her bridesmaids were created with flowers in green hues.  The awesome photos were taken by Jillian Bisinger Modern Photography!

Flowers featured included:  Queen Anne’s Lace, ‘Jade’ Roses, Green Viburnum, Green hypericum, Ornithogalum, Lisianthus, variegated Pittosporum, and white hydrangea.

This bride and bouquet was from a photo shoot held in San Francisco’s China Town.  Kristy Huston of Kristy Huston Photography photographed this bride to be.

Jessica + Max were married Labor Day weekend at Serrano Country Club in El Dorado Hills, CA.  Jessica’s vision for her flowers were Fall colors!  We incorporated Liquidambar leaves, ‘Black Magic’ roses, orange asiatic lilies, yellow tanecetum, green hydrangeas (a little twist), orange ‘Milva’ roses, seeded eucalyptus and curly willow to make a Fall wonderland.  We’ll have more shots at a later date, but here are just a few to share:

Sunday was a beautiful day in the foothills! Mindy + Matt were married at the gorgeous Young’s Vineyard in Plymouth, CA.  Along with Catriona of Arcularius Events, every detail was just perfect!  Mindy’s lace gown was simply stunning as she walked down her burlap aisle runner to the beautiful sound of Andrea Bocelli singing.

The florals were inspired by a country chic feel, very “airy” with vines and accents of cornflower blue and peaches.  King’s tables were lined with burlap runners, mason jars with votives and strung market lights to add to the ambience of the evening.

Just a few shots I took… We’ll be back with more of the pros photos later!

The most recent National Association of Catering Executives monthly meeting was held at the Gorgeous Le Rivage- Scott’s Seafood venue located on the Sacramento waterfront.  Shannon Hall, the on-site event coordinator paired up with Aimee Wendell of Plan A Events and myself to transform their white draped tent into a Summer soiree on the water!  From the appetizer plates to the vintage inspired glassware a top the tables, the colors were simply… too FUN!  Photographed by the very talented Jennifer Dunham with The Memory Journalists, here are some of my favorite shots:

Just a few quick photos I shot from our most recent wedding.  I will be back with more detail shots…. stay tuned!
