First off, I want to wish everyone back home a Happy Thanksgiving! We’re currently in Taiwan to document Tina + Brian’s amazing wedding day and our last wedding of 2010! Yesterday was our first full day here in Taipei, and we’ve already had a pretty awesome adventure…walking all around the downtown area, taking the gondola to the tea town of Maokong, and visiting the bustling night market of Shilin all while using the really awesome public transit and pretty much having no idea what people are saying! The only Chinese/Taiwanese words we know are “thank you” and “good day!” We’ll have pretty limited internet access while we’re here, but we’ll do our best to get back to everyone by the time we come back on Dec 3rd. Here’s a quick shot of the foggy city view from the Maokong gondola….

Bethany + Ethan had an intimate wedding celebration at Bethany’s childhood home in Escondido. Their wedding was filled with warm and personal touches and many, many details. Bethany’s mom hand sewn all the gorgeous quilts that were a main part of the homespun decor. Handmade vintage ribbons and banners were strewn about the house saying things like “celebrate” and “eat drink and be married!” Bethany’s wedding dress was custom made on Etsy, and all the flowers and vintage decor display was designed by the talented Annette Gomez. Guests wrote well wishes to the couple on a vintage typewriter during the cocktail hour, and a personal chef created the most delicious menu! The evening ended with family and friends dining in candle light under an old oak tree, and eating slices of lemon bars and organic banana cake!

Monica + Greg are an amazing couple, and we had a blast hiking through some hills to find the perfect shady tree for a picnic spot. And even though it ended up being a 100 degrees outside - these two just shrugged it off and were up for anything! Here are just a few of my favorites from their session…doesn’t Monica have the most amazing eyes!
