kiki + hadi

kiki and hadi went all out with the details for their wedding last weekend. kiki is a designer so every little detail was planned out and designed to a tee. the menu cards, wedding programs, place cards and cake design were all tied in together with their wedding colors and logo. amazing!
here are a few more photos from the day. the wedding was held at a lovely church in sausalito and the reception was at the outdoor art club in mill valley.

friday favorites
these necklaces are from nervous system. i have a small addiction to necklaces and i really don't need any more, but..but...i really like them.

you don't even have to put a cake on these cake stands - i would want them out all the time! these were created by whitney smith and can be found at etsy. i am telling you - etsy is the place to go!

yet another fabulous etsy find. this lovely print is from sarah jane. she has the sweetest prints and i would love to put a few in ryan's room or give one as a gift at a baby shower.

mrs. meyers baby blossom laundry detergent smells so sweet and clean. i love the fact that all of their products are environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

mahar drygoods has the most fabulous stuff for children. toys to inspire the imagination....not the kind of toys with a bunch of buttons and really annoying sounds and blinking lights. wouldn't these be fabulous for a party...for any age?!

carmen & ray

here are some pictures from a beautiful wedding which took place at the brazilian room in berkeley. this is actually my third wedding at this location and it is always fun to see how every couple makes it their own with their unique personalities and details.


who can resist a whole table of candy so you could make your own goodie bag?

i love the hydrangeas in the cake! the bouquet was absolutely stunning and the ribbon is a nice extra touch.

i got to shoot this wedding with the incredibly talented ingrid from myrtle and marjoram.

baby girl

i am so proud to announce the arrival of aliyah kai. my cousin, kathryn, and her husband, hugo, are the proud new parents of this beautiful baby girl. isn't she precious?

i have a confession - i am addicted to reading blogs. there are so many amazing blogs out there and so much creativity! what's a girl to do?

one of my daily reads is emilystyle and she just wrote about how she enjoys looking at a old wedding photos. coincidentally, gina had an antique photo that she loved and asked that we re-create the pose at her own wedding. we did not have an elaborate living room to use as a background so we found a simple hallway to use instead. here is the modern interpretation of the photo.



go and check out emily's blog!

gina and martin planned such a lovely wedding. they were so calm and collected the entire day plus all of their friends were so excited for the two of them. the most amazing part is that gina and martin have only known each other for a short time. the story goes that they were set up by friends and knew right away that they were mean to be together. amazing! they are such a sweet couple and i wish them all of the happiness in the world.

gina and martin, if you are reading this from your honeymoon, i hope you are having a wonderful time and congratulations again!

enjoy your last vacation before the baby arrives...vacations change just a bit when you have children. yes, they are going to be mommy and daddy in a few months!

gina and martin are big soccer players so we added a soccer ball for fun.
