Jennilee & Brett | Harvest Inn St. Helena | Vineyards | Wedding Shoot

Jennilee and Brett had a beautiful wedding at the Harvest Inn in St. Helena.   Spending time with them during the engagement session was so fun that we were definitely looking forward to seeing them again.  We had so much fun with them on their wedding day that it went by all too fast. 

When we met the wedding coordinator on the day of Jennilee and Brett's wedding, one of the first things she said was "Make sure you take pictures of all the amazing details!  They are everywhere!"  I think the credit for that goes to Jennilee who stayed up late nights to make all those great details.  She rocked it! 

Thanks guys for all the time and effort you put into creating such an awesome day for us to shoot. 

It was good seeing Jennilee and her bridesmaids enjoying the small moments in between.

I love the veil that Jennilee chose.  She looked really gorgeous in it.

Ingrid took the bridal party out during some down time to fool around.  Love some of the expressions on their faces.

Jennilee has really cool taste.  She made sure all the details and the cake had a distinct style.  The cake looked fab because it was framed by the fireplace and looked like it was shimmering.

The sun was setting and I caught this one.  I just love the composition, colors and Jennilee bringing sexy back.

The great details.  Candy jars stood as center pieces for the children's table.

 I loved how there was this vintage telephone booth in the front.

Amy & Wayne | Sequoyah Country Club | Claremont Resort | Oakland Hills | Wedding

It seems like things are coming in pairs for us this year.  We had a pair of back-to-back engagement shoots with convertibles in them.  A pair of back-to-back LA weddings in May and June.  A pair of country club weddings back-to-back.  This time we had a beautiful wedding at the Sequoyah Country Club up here in the Oakland Hills. 

Amy and Wayne are avid golfers, with Wayne coming to this country club almost every weekend.  It's a spanking nice golf course with a breathtaking 10th hole that looks out over the bay.  We even spotted Mike Dirnt, the bassist for Green Day, on the course.  Who would have thought. 

Wayne was super excited that we got to do a shoot on the course.  I think we both wanted to just pick up some clubs and golf that day, but of course we had a wedding to tend to.  We had so much fun at the wedding though.  At one point everyone was trying to get Wayne to jump into the swimming pool.  But he was too sober.  Next time.

Hey Amy, one more shot?

Wayne lit up when it came time to do the golf shoot.  He actually rushed away in his golf cart and returned to us with all his clubs.  We love it when the guys have fun too.

I ran after Amy as she drove the golf cart around in circles.  I almost ran into a tree, a mud hole and got ran over by the cart, but it's all good.

 While Amy was getting ready, she said "Wayne better cry!".  He did.

Amy and Wayne did a great job with the details.  The night before their wedding, Amy stood up late making last minute details!  I loved the rich color scheme.  Nicole, the florist, did an amazing job.

Their wedding favors were white chocolate truffle golf balls with golf tees.

I think Wayne snorted some of that stuff.  Amy was having way too much fun.
