  • For their summer wedding, Brianna and Dave transformed the elegant Sequoia Mansion into a nautically-inspired dream!  The best part about it was that the couple made many of the beautiful decorations themselves, which gave their special day a heartfelt and authentic touch.  Creating your own decor is a tall order for any bride and groom, but was made even more impressive by the fact that they pulled it off long distance from their home in Alaska!  Honestly Brianna, I truly think you have a future in wedding and event staging.  Your eye for detail and composition is nothing short of stunning! So…

  • When I met Jennifer and Abner photographing their engagement, I knew their wedding was going to be special. Jen and Abner, share a strong and playful love and I felt privileged to be invited to witness their vows.  They are each other’s rocks, they are soulmates, and they are a perfect match.  It’s no surprise that their summer wedding at the Sequoia Mansion was a great day! Jen wanted an elegant, classy, Victorian celebration, a style that she pulled off without a single flaw (big kudos to Dottie at Camino Flower Shop and Matti and Ben from Cocomont Vintage…basically their wheelhouse!) From Jen’s incredible lace…

  • Ellee and Jonathan – what a couple!  This was not our first wedding with a full-scale Jenga set, but it definitely was the first where the Jenga did double-duty as a guest book!  It was so cool to see how these two incorporated their love of games and good times into their wedding, giving their guests an opportunity to leave a lasting memory on each of the wooden blocks.  But the individual touches didn’t stop there: hand-wrapped car cans with sentimental sayings hung in the lounge, a birch tree bedecked with Marvel Comic heroes directed guests to their seats in the ball room, and…

  • Chelsea and Chava celebrated their wedding on a sunny summer day in August at the Wedgewood Sequoia Mansion – and what a celebration it was!  Between the handmade, personal touches (s’mores trail mix!) and the enthusiastic mariachi band, this was a wedding that was guaranteed to make you smile.  Of course, a bride and groom as completely in love as Chelsea and Chava are doesn’t hurt matters, either!  Chava kept us laughing with his joking ways, and Chelsea’s bridesmaids (who also happened to be her sisters!) kept things light and fun for the bride. Chelsea and Chava shared their how-we-met story…

  • Rarely do we see this level of familiarity in a couple after 1 month of courtship…this depth of love and strength of connection is typically reserved for those brides and grooms with a 6, 7+ year bethrothel! Just kidding!  Hayle and Mason have been a couple for a lot longer than 1 month (since their late teens), so there is certainly no question about their familiarity and love for each other.  They just chose a fine weekend in early June to make it official. Watching these two together, the word “soul mate” comes to mind again and again.  Hayle and Mason…

  • What a fantastically fun way to close out the year! My last wedding of 2013 was for Jill and Matthew, who were blessed with a beautiful blue-sky day at the Wedgewood Sequoia. I knew that this couple and I would be a perfect match when Jill sent me this email earlier in the year: “”Both my fiancé and I loved how your photography was really about the couple. Other photographers often made nice or artsy pictures that didn’t seem to be about the people.”  That is absolutely what I’m all about – emotions, moments, relationships and, of course, beautiful light.…

  • Photographing brides and grooms at the Wedgewood Sequoia as their preferred photographer, I get to see so many different ways to use the beautiful house for ceremonies and receptions. For Heather and Nick, they forewent a courtyard ceremony for indoor nuptials, set against a backdrop of twinkling fairy lights. Along with Nick’s all-white tux, it made for a bright-and-beautiful ensemble. Lots of memorable moments at this wedding: from the blessing Nick’s parents gave him before the ceremony, to an emotional mother-daughter dance, and finally one of the most wonderful speeches by Nick’s parents I’ve heard in a while: I loved…

  • Another beautiful wedding at the Wedgewood Sequoia, on a beautiful early-Fall day. This time we celebrated Cortney and Sean, a wonderful, easy-going couple who wanted their wedding day to be “a great party” for family and friends. They certainly delivered. The flower girls at this wedding were just so sweet and so dedicated to their task of littering the aisle with rose petals before Cortney arrived with her brother, Jason, who gave her away. After the ceremony we took some time to take a few “just married” photos before heading into the reception where Sean, who is a singer/songwriter, surprised Cortney…

  • Another beautiful wedding at the Wedgewood Sequoia! This time for Sheri and Mike, who tied the knot after 6 years together. Like all brides and grooms, Sheri and Mike were experiencing some “showtime” nerves on their big day and I was grateful to have spent some time with them during their engagement session to learn more about what makes them laugh and relax in front of the camera. I also confess to having had a little extra help from Mike’s fifteen year old daughter, Cassie, who was also part of the wedding party. This was just a bright, fun, and…
