JACQUELINE + JAMISON'S wedding day

beloved.  The planning of Jacqueline and Jamison's wedding was a daily boost for us.  We found ourselves coming up with new ideas just to hear Jackie exclaim with delight  - "oh, Yes, Yes - that's IT, I heart you!!!". Together they made the perfect pair... gloriously fun and hopelessly romantic.  We ABSOLUTELY ADORE them!

The incredible artistry of Allyson of Allyson Magda Photography found every detail and captured every emotion (of the many!).
It wasn't so much about color, but soft design with natural sweetness.  A combination of the warmth of the historical Santa Margarita Ranch Asistencia and gardens and the beginning of long summer days.  Creations that featured the beauty of flowers and the organic bounty we have all around us.  The simplest things became the treasured details...

Every petal on earth was envious that day, for sure.

Wherever there is a celebration of devotion, filming it is an everlasting way to relive it.  Beautiful moments that you don't even realize happened are there forever.  Tears of joy - there's nothing more pure.  I rejoice when couples choose to have their wedding captured by a talented videographer. Couture Motion Wedding Films took on this wedding with passion - interested to know every detail.  I am very impressed.


This day was perfected by the brilliance of this team...

LIBBY + BRIAN'S wedding day

nature.  It was like an afternoon playing in the garden every time I spoke with Libby and Brian.  Every flower, every foliage, every color and every scent held such important meaning for them.  With both of them being landscape architects their floral and foliage details had to be unique, as they were surrounded by the beauty every day.

The intimate ceremony (besides feathered bystanders) was held at the one-of-a-kind Margo Dodd Park in Shell Beach.  The marriage celebration then moved to the ballroom at Steamers Restaurant in Pismo Beach with a view of the ocean keeping the salty seaside feeling.  The always awesome talent of Cameron Ingalls Photography captured each detail perfectly for them to tell the story of their day.  Eclair Bakery made the most adorable cake - even garden bugs were invited as guests to the delight of us all...

vision. As I drive home every evening I pass field after field filled with flowers, grains and vegetables at all stages of growth.  With the abundant rain that we have received, the hills are a verdant green, creating a backdrop for incredibly stunning color.
There is no vision of color as pure as the one that we see with our eyes and the emotion it conveys.  What continues to thrill us is how gifted photographers are able to capture this feeling with their lens.  It is their talent that makes it possible to share our floral creations with you.
With a heart-filled passion for photography, Cameron Ingalls hosted a workshop for photographers at all levels of experience at Flying Caballos Ranch in San Luis Obispo, CA.  The sweet, pastoral setting was perfect for photographers attending from around the world to fine tune their craft.  We provided the whimsical bouquet for the modeling couple.  It is thrilling for us to see the images of one bouquet through the eyes of two of the photographers. 
Cana Video Production portrayed the warmth and fun of Cameron's endeavor on an early spring day, reminding us that wedding photography is much more than just capturing an image - it's love.

MELISSA + TODD'S wedding day

shine.  I began 2010 with a hug from a Queen.
Melissa wanted to ring in the New Year with "Bling" and OH, HOW SHE SHINED!  Her beauty was phenomenal and Todd's handsome charm was the perfect complement.  With the brilliant guidance from Mark of Mark Padgett Event Design their wedding was a vision of the finest that the grandeur of winter has to offer: peonies, anemonies, orchids, narcissus and garden roses, all accented by crystals, rhinestones and shimmering glass.  An awe-inspiring natural setting with glamorous details.  It was our first opportunity to work alongside the friendly staff at the breathtaking Calcareous Winery in Paso Robles.  To showcase the view, the room is encased in glass giving the feeling of being on top of the world, wow.  And they were!  A bright, beautiful beginning to 2010.
The always impressive talent of photographer Colleen Rosenthal captured the glittering day.
Two Cooks Catering were the artisans that created the beautiful dinner and cake.
