Kristi and Ryan

If kitchen is in the name of a restaurant it evokes, at least for me, warm familiar feelings and an anticipation of a cozy place.  Kristi and Ryan's small wedding at the El Dorado Kitchen in Sonoma was a lovely event just like what might be expected.  Family and friends, yummy food, warm decor, and an intimate, private space to celebrate was for Kristi and Ryan a truly special event.

JiJi and Kevin

Funny, gorgeous, and delightful are the first words that come to mind when I think of these two.  Both are from Seoul, Korea, where their families have apartments across the hall from one another.  They were separated for a number of years, but last summer as fate would have it, they were able to spend time together again and fell in love.  They had a small holiday-time wedding at The Lodge at Sonoma .

Sarah and Matt

If you like being out in the middle of nowhere among the rolling hills of the coastal mountains, then you would love Anvil Ranch. Found in California's Alexander Valley wine growing region, it's a beautiful 2.5 hour drive north/west of San Francisco. Sarah and Matt, both Apple employees who met at work, were overwhelmed with emotion on their wedding day.  For Bob and me, it was a real treat to be with such a lovely group of people in a beautiful outdoor setting on a picture perfect October day.

Alana and Paul

East meets west in more ways than one! Both Alana and Paul live in Brooklyn, New York where they work in the television industry.  They came out west to get married in the northern California town of Cazadero, where Alana's family owns a country home.  On a warm, sunny day in late summer, Bob, Dom, and I joined their family and friends to celebrate and document their unique wedding.  Alana wore her Mom's wedding dress, while Paul had his suit tailor made in NYC.  Paul's Mom provided a scrumptious Croquembouche for the wedding cake.
