A Carmel destination wedding – Katelyn & Cody

Katelyn and Cody planned one of the coolest getaway weddings we’ve had the honor to shoot….they were married in Carmel which happens to be one of the most gorgeous spots along the California coastline, at the Tickle Pink Inn .   Somehow they managed to keep their getaway wedding a complete secret, announcing it to their family & friends on Christmas, a few days later.   With only their parents looking on, they shared their wedding vows in an intimate ceremony on their balcony overlooking a bright late December afternoon.

Molly & Ian – The Grand 1401 & St. Anthony’s Church

We have SO enjoyed getting to know Molly & Ian. After shooting two engagements (one local & one destination engagement in San Luis Obispo & Avila Beach)  I was really looking forward to this day, and it turned out just as amazing as we all hoped.

Every detail of the day was flawlessly planned by Wedding Planner extraordinaire Cassandra Turner.     The wedding weekend began with a rehearsal & dinner thrown by Ian’s family, which was a scene from a Martha Stewart magazine with gorgeous autumn decor & motif

 

 

You two are such a PERFECT couple & we are SO happy for you!       Thanks for making us a part of your lives & letting us share in your amazing wedding day!

Lake Tahoe destination wedding – Angela & Andy

We met Angela & Andy a few years ago when Angela was a bridesmaid in her friend Jen & Steve’s wedding at Wolf Lakes.   Angela had just gotten engaged & told us about her plans for an amazing destination wedding in Lake Tahoe at the legendary Edgewood Golf Resort.  

Everything about their wedding weekend was absolutely gorgeous….they started the weekend with a BBQ/rehearsal dinner at their lakeside cabin.   They were married on the patio overlooking the pristine blue waters & Angela incorporated so many fun touches into the wedding day like a See’s Candy bar (yum) with fine wines & signature mojito cocktails.

Thanks for making us a part of your wedding weekend…..congratulations you two!!
