Tara + Seth: A Sonoma Wedding

September 14, 2011

I am so so excited to share this wedding with you!  Tara + Seth were married at the Garden Pavilion in Sonoma – an incredibly unique and fun space filled with colors.  I had been looking forward to photographing their wedding all season, especially after taking their engagement photos (you can view them here and here).  They are just really awesome people.. and I was reminded of that by the love and laughs that surrounded them on their wedding day.  I spent the majority of the day with a smile on my face behind the camera, or just dying of laughter at the hilarious groomsmen.  It really was incredibly fun to photograph :)

Take a look at some of my favorites..
Right before their first look..  I absolutely love when brides + grooms opt to see each other before the ceremony!  Such a nice, intimate moment to have with one another.
We were able to sneak in some portraits before the ceremony..The best bridal party ever!
After the first dance we snuck away for more portraits during sunset hour, my favorite thing to do!
The light was just stunning.
LOVE these next two..
Congratulations Tara + Seth!  Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day.  You two are amazing :)

A few frames from another fashion shoot with Velvet Brigade.

Kristen + Kyle are such a wonderful couple!  They chose to shoot their engagement session at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, and in typical summer SF fashion, the day turned out to be cold and windy!  We had such a blast despite the cold, and I always love a bit of wind in photos :)
Take a look!
They also brought their adorable dog Riley along for the session, I loved him!
And he sported a bow-tie.  Does it get any cuter??
Such a gorgeous couple!
A favorite..
Kristen and Kyle, I had so much fun with you two!  Can’t wait to shoot your wedding next summer :)
