Tammy + Mark | Twelve Oaks Estate | July 3

Tammy and Mark had one of the most beautiful and thoughtfully planned out weddings, all the way down to the shot favor glasses with a bottle of Patron on each dining table.  These guests had a blast, almost as much as I did planning it with them.  Tammy came to me with a vision that she wanted to re-create, and with the venue's beauty, flowers by Nancy Liu Chin, lighting by Got Light? and linens and furnishings from Hartmann Studios, we created her dream wedding.  Even when I was setting up that day in the mid-summer Palo Alto heat, I had to take a step back and simply take in what had been created by all of these talented vendors.

Tammy was a stunning vision that day, and Mark had a grin across his face for the duration of their celebration.  I will let the pictures below speak for themselves, as Kate Harrison captured their day beautifully.

Jen + Chris | StoneTree Golf Club | August 14

What can I say about Chris and Jen other than they are a fabulous couple full of life and love for each other. From the time I met them I had the best time working with them and loved being around Jen's infectious laughter and Chris's easy going attitude.

The wedding was at StoneTree Golf Club in Novato and the day could not have been more perfect! The ceremony was held outside under a clear blue sky with the beautiful StoneTree greens in the background. Afterward, guests were welcomed inside where a delicious meal prepared by Elaine Bell Catering awaited them. Once the meal was finished Jen and Chris celebrated their union with their first dance and everyone was quick to follow in their footsteps...and the dancing did not stop! This group was full of some of the most energetic dancers I have ever witnessed. It was a true pleasure to be a part of this special occasion.

The pictures taken by the talented husband and wife team of What Shanni Saw will really speak for themselves, enjoy.

Marinda + Jeff | Stafford Lake | August 20

We are so happy to be able to finally share all the weddings we worked so hard on this year, and this one was such a fun one!

Marinda and Jeff wanted to have a wedding that was unlike any other wedding they or their friends had ever been to.  I think they accomplished that extremely well with their Great Gatsby themed wedding on a warm Friday afternoon at Stafford Lake in Novato, California this past August.  The couple was so excited when they saw nearly all of their 200 guests dressed to the nines and playing the part that they had requested of their guests.  They even did a skit to open up the ceremony, it was all very well thought out!

While most of the wedding was DIY, they did hire some amazing vendors to help make their day just as perfect as they thought it would be.  Enjoy the photos from the very talented husband and wife team from Tim Halberg Photography in Southern California:

The vendors that helped make this special day happen for Marinda + Jeff were:

Venue: Stafford Lake, Novato
Catering: Feast Catering
Rentals: Classic Party Rentals - Burlingame
Florals & Lighting: friends and family
Transportation: United Coach Tours
Djay: Tommy Fullove

Happy Planning!
