Gen and Joe were referred to my by an old friend from the Midwest. I love referrals. Usually, this means we already have similar ideas, interests, and most importantly… friends. We met for coffee in SF and quickly bonded over our moves to California, family, nature, and adventures. It was on. We pulled together the most magical, foresty, redwoods, outdoor wedding chock-full of candles, flowers, and love. Thank you to Teri B for capturing it brilliantly.

Laura and Nick! One of my favorite weekends of the year. This wedding was a dream. The sweetest lovebirds, the best family, amazing weather, incredible music, endless cocktails and endless grub. What more could you ask for for your wedding weekend?

With Tanya and Chris, I set out to design a wedding that was both modern, yet timeless… edgy, but chic. We chose a pallet that was bold, but delicate that would pop, but allow for the beauty of the unique venues to shine through. Between The Proper Hotel, the Eucalyptus Grove overlooking Fort Mason, and Gallery 308 at Fort Mason, I had some really beautiful venues to showcase and boy did we have fun! Thanks to the beautiful and talented Annamae Photo for capturing the day in such a stunning way!

Rachel and Tim. Two of the world’s sweetest and most genuine humans I’ve ever planned for. These two came to me all the way from DC. We planned and designed their entire wedding while across the country from one another. The weekend went off without a hitch!

One of my favorites to design! We were working with such a rich and moody color palette mixed with the summer heat and rolling hills in Boonville, CA. Our venue was the Bell Valley Retreat at The Tollhouse. Our backdrop, pure California gold.

Jillie, a real life ballerina and Michael, a tough businessman with a weakness for his ballerina, came to me only about 6 months out from their desired wedding date. Jillie wanted a magical fairy garden and Michael wanted an outdoor space to dance the night away. I knew the place straightaway. I presented them with the Pythian House in Santa Rosa.

When Brian and Katie found me, we set out to plan the most badass amazing wedding of their dreams at a place in Mendocino County in Northern California called The Land. The venue was amazing. A sprawling retreat with cabins and houses and hiking trails through the redwoods and to the river. I had conveniently been here before, but man were we in for a challenge. We wanted a welcome festival under the magic tree for Friday, a wedding (obviously) on Saturday, and a farewell brunch on Sunday. So many things, so much love, so many memories.

Kellie and Bobby! I love these babes. They traveled from Utah to come hang out and get married on Baker Beach in SF. They asked me to officiate their wedding in front of a handful of family and friends and make sure I quoted Hootie in the ceremony vows. They gave me complete floral freedom (what dreams are made of) and showed up ready to rock. This was one of the most special elopements I’ve ever gotten to be a part of.

This wedding is pretty darn close to what all wedding dreams are made of. Situated in beautiful Sintra, Portugal lies The Palace of Monserrate, an exotic palatial villa and World Heritage Site. The ceremony was held in the ruins in the most picturesque setting you could ever imagine (see pictures for proof)! After the ceremony, guests headed back to The Quinta where live musicians, hors d'oeuvres, and plenty of cocktails were waiting. A beautiful 4 course dinner was served in the fireplace room and dancing commenced just one room over. We danced until the sun came up and we'll never forget this experience!

These two! This was such a special day celebrating Kelsey and Adam at Concannon Vineyard in Livermore, California. The cocktail hour was situated to overlook the expansive vineyard while the dinner and dancing took place in the most beautiful barrel room I think I've ever laid eyes on. Loved looking back at this vineyard wedding.

See for yourself thanks to Michael Porter Photography!

I really do love it when dear friends ask me to be a part of their big days. We planned this baby in Sayulita, Mexico and it was THE BEST! You'll see the arrival of the guests, the zipline adventures, the chill time, the love time, the dance time, and the photo shoot we did the next day. So many things!

Jill and Ra were married on top of the world! We'll not really.. but the Berkeley Hills and that's pretty close. It was at Skyfall, a private residence atop the hill with sweeping views of the entire Bay Area, where they recited their vows to one another in a beautiful traditional Jewish ceremony in front of friends, family, and their beloved fur baby. The views were breathtaking, the bride and groom were stunning, the property was impeccable, and the food, dancing and drinks were plentiful. The whole place was filled with so much love as these two love birds were wed. See below for the whole story!
