Botanical Wedding at Marin Art and Garden Center
Newlyweds Fletcher and Christina celebrated their beautifully botanic wedding among lush greenery at the Marin Art and Garden Center. The two met in college at UC Santa Cruz, but didn’t start dating until later on. They were ever hopeful of marrying in 2020, but fate had different plans, and the couple was forced to reschedule multiple times. When the time was finally right in late October of 2021, Fletch and Tina enjoyed a gorgeous day amongst their friends and family.
Despite the threat of rain inconveniently scheduled exactly at their ceremony time, energy was high the whole morning, and the couple trusted mother nature to hold off until after the vows. The clouds finally coalesced as the couple had their first kiss, and a dreamy mist descended on attendees. The light rain only added to a cozy atmosphere as cocktail hour took place under a light-strung canopy. The scatterings of fall leaves meshed perfectly with the dusty lavender, sage green, and soft yellow in the florals.
With ample college friends in the crowd, the reception was a truly enthusiastic festivity. The matrons of honor made a joint toast that summed up the newlywed’s perfect pairing—Fletch learning to turn the video games off and head to bed early to fit Tina’s preschool teacher lifestyle—and ended in a rendition of Frozen’s “Love is an Open Door” that had the whole room cheering.

Elegant Monterey Wedding at The Perry House
Understated, elegant, and intimate. Three words that aptly describe Meena and Jason’s wedding ceremony and reception in Monterey. Situated near Old Fisherman’s Wharf with beautiful water views, Meena and Jason selected The Perry House for its seamless blend of history and natural charm. The large patio, winding white decks, and historical interior provided the perfect place for guests to mingle and celebrate in the joy of the couple’s marriage.
Above anything, Meena and Jason wanted their loved ones together in one place, commemorating the day and enjoying themselves. This was undeniably achieved as the atmosphere was one of relaxation and familiarity, a truly warm and welcoming gathering. With unique table settings of mixed metals, coaster favors in the shape of guests’ home coasts, and an elaborate handshake performed by the newlyweds, the event was one to toast to for many more years!

Golden Hour Engagement at Ross' Cove
Kevin and Maureen are lucky to have this gorgeous beach just down the street from their home in Half Moon Bay. It’s the spot where Kevin proposed and made for a beautifully romantic engagement session. Backed by steep cliffs and a glowing October sunset, the winding beach was an ideal place to capture their love and adoration for one another. They even brought along their quarantine pup, Stella!
Looking forward to celebrating with K+M in July at the rustic-meets-elegant Thomas Fogarty Winery!
