maria + dan, lake tahoe CA wedding

Maria + Dan’s Lake Tahoe lakeside wedding….I honestly don’t know where to start! It’s taken hours to sift through the hundreds and hundreds of images Heidi Geldhauser from Our Labor of Love sent over to us. The wedding, the dinner, the perfect summer night, the gorgeous bride and groom…probably going to be the longest post of the year. It’s just that yummy.

This wedding was a compilation of such talented vendors and one smokin’ hot Navy boy and his traveling nurse! It started with a sweet email from Maria in January who described in detail what she visualized for her wedding. We were already booked solid, but something about this girl just made me buckle!

We found a date in late July (during our one month siesta) and everything fell into place. Calls were made to our favorite vendors who we knew would come through on such short notice and everyone worked together beautifully to make this happen for our sweet Maria!

For starters, my lovely lovely ridiculously talented friend Heidi just happened to be sitting right next to me when Maria emailed.  She looked at me and said, “lets make this work!” Oh I love that girl!

Will Becker, as always, killed it with his mixes throughout the night which included a last minute skit by the Groom and Best Man (scroll down and check out the flight suits!)

Accents by Sage, who constantly constantly blows my mind with her creativity once again created a phenomenal table scape! Gorgeous purples, yellows, burlap and true natural linens over a 60 foot table just blew our minds. It was perfection! Sweet Cakes by Rebecca delivered such a gorgeous red velvet cake and as always it was phenomenal and scrumptious! And one again…Tiffiny Tredinnick styled these lovely ladies in such Old Hollywood gorgeousness. Sean Cummings, the Lake Tahoe Bagpier is truly truly such an awesome guy and so talented! He was such a joy to work with.

If there is something that you soon to be brides can take from someone like Maria + Dan it’s their ability to take it all in. To enjoy your day….I am such a firm believer that the energy you bring to your day, to your whole wedding process sets the ton for your entire wedding experience. It does ladies, I promise you!






Cheers!

There are “clients” and there are clients….I honestly don’t even like the term because our couples are so much more than that to me. I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half since Alice’s beautiful mother Helen walked in and met Jennifer, Brennda and I for a wedding consultation. When she spoke of her Alice , and the journey she was soon to embark on, you could literally feel the intense love she had for her daughter…..asking that we make her dream wedding come true.

It’s now time, and wow has it been a journey! Lots of trips to the city, coffee dates…a little sangria (hey we’re flexible!) and a TON of fun planning Ryan + Alice’s waterfront wedding.  We’re so so honored and blessed to be a part of this wedding weekend…!

Cheers!

First, thank you to Tanja Lippert for such beautiful photography and second for keeping a smile on our face all day. This girl has got to be the most hilarious spunky photographers we’ve worked with in a LONG time. And the fact that she’s phenomenal….goes without saying.

Amber and Chad’s day started at The Ritz Carlton, Half Moon Bay. The sea bluff at Liquid Sky is a sight to be seen. Naomi Bates of Sweet Buds Floral did a gorgeous job on the florals, full of warm yellows, oranges and fall tones for Amber + Chad.

Amanda at Cetrella was absolutely amazing. She was such a wonderful representation of this incredible establishment. Gina and I had a fantastic experience with their entire staff. I cannot say enough about their professionalism, class and top notch service.

Elegant Cheese Cake was absolutely incredible! The cakes were flawless, such incredible artistry at it’s best!

Cheers!
