ATHENA + JONNY

beauty.  What a fun couple in a fantasy setting.  Athena and Jonny, with their hip personal style, planned a wedding where they were truly surrounded by all that made them happy.  They were married beneath a giant California oak tree at Hammersky Vineyards in Templeton.  It is the magic of this welcoming place that makes you want to celebrate love...10 minutes of winding Vineyard Drive, then turn a sharp corner and there is Hammersky Vineyards.  Your eyes fill with glorious beauty.  The unforgettable endless kind from which happiness grows.

LAURA + MICHAEL

honest-to-goodness.  Preserve what matters.  When I saw this beautiful video trailer from Josh at Rain Studios my breath was literally taken away.  The vibrant emotions and colors of Laura and Michael's wedding day are captured here with an intensity that brought me right back to the heartfelt fun.  As their coordinator and florist I witnessed how every ounce of emotion that they, along with their families, put into all of the planning.  Their wedding was an honest testament to love...and proof that rain can't dampen the spirit of your day.  And, whatever the dream, we are up for the ride!

JAIME + STEPHAN

spring.  Jaime and Stephan's wedding was held at Edna Valley Vineyards in the heart of San Luis Obispo County's gorgeous wine country.  The winery offers endless views of vineyards and volcanic peaks - the rural alternative to the seaside California wedding.  The exuberance of the twining vines inspire a feeling of laid back, effortless elegance that we love.  These images of sweet Jaime's wedding along with the luscious coral peonies definitely remind us that AT LAST, spring is in the air!

ALLISON + JONATHAN

romance.  Allison and Jonathan's ceremony was performed in the rows of grapevines at the prestigious Eagle Castle Winery in Paso Robles, with the guests seated below a majestic California oak tree.  Strands of crystals and tiny threads of silver bullion shimmered in the afternoon sun. With an interior design background, Allison had a clear vision of her day.  Her ideal was for the wedding decor to be a nostalgic glimpse at the beauty of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France;  a luminous scene, radiant and rich with astonishing detail.  Needless to say, the planning of their wedding was heaven.  The reception tables were complete with French vintage flair for a setting worthy of royalty.

For all those who dream of lavish balls and living happily ever after, here is a fantasy come true.
