Trends of 2008 – Bridesmaid Dresses

Fashion,Wedding Trends 2008 — Edyta @ 6:33 PM

I recently saw the movie 27 Dresses with a couple of girlfriends! If you’re looking for a feel-good movie (not to mention super chick flick) then this is one to catch! Able to relate to the idea of being a bridesmaid (just last September) it was hard to accept the extreme dress fashion that the movie showcased, but of course it was all in good fun. I thought maybe it would be good to share what’s really hot this year in bridesmaid dresses!! Not to mention it’s always good to keep your wedding day team happy! (more…)

To Tip or Not to Tip – on your wedding day.

Planning,Wedding Advice — Edyta @ 4:30 PM

It seems that this subject is very unclear to brides and grooms, including wedding vendors. I recently came across a discussion board where brides were giving their tip suggestions-there was even exact percentages given for each vendor used. While this subject can be a little sensitive due to money worries, but let me make a suggestion. (more…)

Brieanne & Brandon’s Real Wedding – St. Helena

Fall is my absolute favorite season! Sure, my birthday kick starts it off but the colors of the leaves and the crisp temperatures outside make it cozy. Brieanne and Brandon’s autumn wedding in St. Helena (about 1.5 hours north of San Francisco) was a perfect event to photograph in so many ways. Their friends and family had a great sense of humor and care for one another. The weather was to die for and what could be more romantic than a wedding in wine country?! Check out more of their wedding photography… (more…)

Kristin and Matt held a wonderful San Francisco wedding! Located at Hotel Vitale in the embarcadero, their ceremony and reception had a city spark to it! I love photographing outdoor weddings, especially in the San Francisco summer fog! The overcast skies brings such a glow to the air and really sets a romantic mood. Check out more of their urban wedding! (more…)

I have been extremely fortunate to have been the wedding photographer of some of the best family orientated weddings ever! Shelby and Tony’s wedding proves that point! A very intimate day held at the Stanford Park Hotel in Menlo Park, CA (just south of San Francisco). Both families were so excited and very much a part of the planning and overall feel of the day. You’d think it was spring with all the love flying around! More of their wedding photography… (more…)

A Guide to a Picture Perfect Wedding

Us – wedding vendors know that when the new year begins the newly engaged brides begin to plan! After reading several discussion and message boards, I’ve come to realize that what seems like the most simple task (hiring a wedding photographer), many couples don’t know what it takes to create their picture perfect wedding. I realize there is a lot of reading material out there, which makes things overwhelming for most but the next few suggestions that I offer might be of great help for the bride and groom to be.

Another beautiful wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay, California!  Except this time the sun was out in full force!  Usually, this area is very foggy (which I love).  The colors, fabrics and details in this wedding were incredible! (more…)

Cynthia & Mark’s Real Wedding – San Francisco

Cynthia and Mark had a classic summer San Francisco wedding! With fog and all! A very intimate setting at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, Cynthia and Mark wed on the outdoor terrace with an indoor reception to follow. They were such sports when it came to the wedding photography because China Beach in San Francisco (as seen above) was chilly and the tide was high. I usually see dolphins in this area but we had no luck that day! Check out more of the wedding photography… (more…)

Tom & Sam’s Real Wedding – St. Louis

Doesn’t she look very Audrey?! Gorgeous. Tom and Sam had a traditional ceremony held at the historic Shrine of St. Joseph church in St. Louis with an artsy reception twist to follow at the Randall Gallery in St. Louis. With Tom’s sense of humor and Sam’s sweet (“oh geez…Tom”) personality, they were truly meant to be together! The day was filled with love, humor, a fantastic bridal party and incredible family support – a wedding photographer’s dream! Check out more of their wedding photography… (more…)
