When we were in San Francisco, we met up with Candice + Amos for their engagement session and had an amazing time with these two! While exploring the coast, we encountered killer kites, nudists, and seaside ruins! Pretty much awesome afternoon!

What can I say about this wedding other than it was stunning in every way and an absolute dream to document! Gorgeous scenery, historic homes filled with texture, cape cod, lots of laughter, and one amazing, amazing couple!! Meredith + Chris could not be more perfect for each other! Their wedding was a very unique and personal celebration of their love. Meredith’s family has been vacationing in Westport, Massachusetts for quite some time, and even staying in the amazing Howland House on most of their trips, so this location held a special place in their hearts. They had a Quaker-inspired ceremony at Wesport Friends Meeting House, where instead of a priest or pastor marrying the couple, they said their vows to each other encircled by their friends and family. Several people stood up during the ceremony to say their well wishes to the couple, read poems, and reminisce. The reception overlooked the Atlantic ocean at the Acoaxet Club, and the decor was filled with images of birds and little nests, which fit Meredith and Chris perfectly, since they are both huge nature and animal lovers. Meredith wore the most gorgeous Claire Pettibone dress and cute Paris Hilton shoes! At the reception, she changed into a shorter dress and everyone danced the night away!

A few weeks ago, Isaac and I traveled to the Cape Cod area to document Meredith + Chris’ amazing wedding in Westport, Massachusetts! The day before the wedding, we took a few photos of Meredith and Chris around the Howland House, the awesome ancient hotel turned homestead they were staying in with their whole bridal party. We then headed to the rehearsal dinner, which was a customary clam + lobster bake, at Spindle Rock Club! The clambake was thrown by Compton Clambakes, and in the traditional fashion, they steamed clams, lobster, corn and potatoes in stacked boxes with rock weed (a type of sea weed). It was an amazing way to start off the festivities. Here are just a few images from the first day…I’ll be blogging their amazing wedding very very soon!

I can’t help but smile looking through Jordana + Mike’s wedding. These two are unbelievably in love and such amazing people. We met with them a year and a half before their wedding date, and had been waiting forever to document their wedding day! Their ceremony and reception was held at the lovely Darlington House in La Jolla, and the couple did so many of the design elements themselves, from collecting all the vintage bottles for the table centerpieces to creating the look of amazing dessert display, complete with candy and cannolis and a variety of cakes! Jordana’s dress was one of Monique Lhuillier’s first lace dress designs! Her awesome purple shoes are Steve Maddens. The day could not have been more perfect…good food and good company and lots of dancing! Jordana + Mike started the dancing off with an awesome choreographed salsa dance that they had been working on for months….and they were amazing! Congrats again Jordana + Mike…we love you guys!
