Heather and Michael had their intimate wedding at a private residence
in Orinda and the setting was amazing. Even with some last minute
rains a tent was put up and the wedding went off without a hitch. The
wedding was catered by Taste Catering
and it was simply amazing. If you are looking for a caterer for your
event, I highly recommend Taste as they are second to none. The flowers
and design of the event were done by H Julien Designs and everything looked stunning. Enjoy the photos!
Lara:

All I can say is what a wedding. Matt and Julie have to be some of our favorite clients of all time. Matt owns a shoe store in Alameda, The District and Julie planned the whole wedding by herself. It was the first ever wedding at the new Yoshi's Jazz Club in SF and it was amazing. Every detail of the wedding from the cake to the table settings and their custom logo designed by Passing Notes was spot on. Here are a few picks from the night and I will be sure to post more when I am done editing the wedding. Also, below is their highlights video and first dance video put together by Curtis Nemetz Productions which is hands down my favorite videographer to work with. Curtis and Travis are the best team and we love shooting weddings with them. To round out the amazing day Jon of Encarnacion Photography shot with me and as always his work was amazing. Again stay posted for more from their wedding along with all of the details.

We had the pleasure of photographing Arturo and Melissa's wedding this past summer and now that we have a blog, I thought it would be a great thing to post some images from their amazing wedding in Yosemite Valley. The day was perfect with early thunderstorms and then amazing cloud cover. The whole day was an intimate celebration of their love with their family and friends and Cara and I felt honored to have been able to photograph their wedding. As always it was great to work with Curtis and Travis of Curtis Nemetz Productions as they are one of the few videographers that push us to try new things and I always feel like we feed off of each other's creativity. I also have to add that if you are thinking of getting married in or near Yosemite you have to contact Natalie with Simply that Flowers and Carol with Bellissimo Brides as this was our third wedding working with them and they always do an amazing job. Ceremony: Sentinel Beach, Yosemite
Reception: Wawona Hotel, Yosemite
Videographer: Curtis Nemetz Productions
Florist: Simply That Flowers
Hair & Makeup: Bellissimo Brides
Musicians: Sierra Entertainment
Cake: Sweet Dreams Cakery
DJ: Sierra DJ
Jackie Clemonds:
WOW! Those are STUNNING images. Beautiful. Must have been an amazing venue for a wedding! We haven't been to Yosemite yet at all, but these images sure make me want to go all the more! Also love the cute iPhone image. :)

I posted some images the day after their wedding a couple of weeks ago and since then everyone has been emailing wanting to see more. Well here they are. I do have to warn you though as there are a ton of photos because I had such a hard time narrowing down my favorites. Loralie and Kevin are such an amazing couple and Cara and I had such a blast photographing their wedding. Kathryn of Dream a Little Dream Events did such a great job planning the wedding that even when we were hit with a little rain, things went off without a hitch. As always Natalie Bowen provided flowers that were simply stunning. Loralie and Kevin got ready at Hotel Vitale and then we headed down to the ferry building and they had some wine and oysters at the Hog Island Osyter Company. They had an amazing roof top ceremony at the Art Institute and then an intimate dinner reception at Florio.Here is what Loralie wrote when she got home after the wedding:
Are you kidding me???
Thank YOU for photographing our wedding. We got back to Indy last night, had dinner and sat down and reviewed the slide show together. It is so perfect I don't have words. We have so many favorite pics from your slide show, we couldn't narrow down to our favorite. Kevin and I couldn't stop talking on Sunday about how great you, Cara, Kathryn and Natalie are to work with. You are seriously a dream team!
And we had dinner at La Mar on Sunday night with friends. So fabulous. Great recommendation!

And here is what Loralie had to say about the dress: You asked about the dress... It was custom-made by Joyce Hittelsdorf. She has a small studio in Carmel, Indiana called Something Wonderful. When I couldn't find anything that I loved in the stores, Joyce worked with me to put together a gown that had all of the elements I was looking for: right color, right fabrics, right fit.

We shot this wedding yesterday and I just had to share a few images with you from the amazing day. Everything of the day was perfect from Kevin and Loralie and their amazing family and friends to the coordination by Kathryn from Dream a Little Dream Events. The flowers were done by Natalie Bowen and we did beforehand photos at Hotel Vitale and the Ferry Building. The ceremony was set on the roof top deck at the Art Institute and they had an amazing intimate reception at Florio. Enjoy the photos and I will be sure to make another post in a couple of weeks when I have finished editing their wedding. UPDATE // I thought I would share with you all the email that I just received for Loralie
