Lindsay & Rob’s Folsom wedding

The day before Lindsay and Rob’s Folsom wedding, I scoped out some locations for wedding photos at Lake Natoma Inn, the site of their ceremony and reception. There were lots of good locations, but some of them required walking on dirt paths or down rough wooden stairways. I needed to ask the couple what they were willing to do.

So my question was, on a scale of 1 to 10, how adventurous would they want to be to get photos after the ceremony, if 1 is not wanting to leave the reception and 10 is willing to climb a mountain?

Sunita & Brian’s Monterey wedding

How awesome was Sunita & Brian’s Monterey wedding? Let me count the ways.

The weather was perfect. The venue, The Perry House, was beautiful. The ceremony elicited both tears and laughter. There was custom-made home-brewed beer.

Caroline & Giulio’s Bernardus Lodge wedding

Steph & John’s Monterey wedding

Here’s one way to sum up Stephanie & John’s Monterey wedding: The night ended with a mosh pit.

Steph and John got married on a gorgeous day with a gorgeous wedding at the Old Whaling Station in Monterey. Their day was filled with so much passion and perfectness that it left everybody who was there — me included — excited about it for weeks after it was over. (I’ve seen multiple posts on Facebook asking the couple if they could have their wedding all over again.)
