Mendocino Love

Some people fall in love with Mendocino others find love in Mendocino. Erin and Simeon are two Mendocinians that have been so lucky. Their wedding was very much a local affair. The ceremony was set aloft the cliffs overlooking the entire village and the reception was held on the Fensalden Inn property on Navarro Ridge.

"These are great, Cassandra! We love them! I love them! How marvellous."

~Erin

A European Elopement in Little River

Mendocino is where European's dream of eloping. At least for these two Scots. I just love elopements. They are so singularly intimate.

Rebecca and Brian coordinated their elopement through Little River Inn and chose to do the ceremony at Van Damme State Beach.

Converts

Tam and Matthew were such a fun couple to work with. Tam is so naturally elegant and Matthew so straight forward and real. The camera loved them! And of course I love shooting at the spectacular Sea Ranch Lodge.

"These preview photos are AMAZING! Matthew, my husband was against a professional photographer, but now you have completely turned him around. He is so impressed and keeps saying how he can't wait to see the rest." --Tam

An Architects Dream Wedding

Jennifer and Gerry chose to have a simple wedding with only their immediate family and their best friends, but there was nothing simple about the locations in Sea Ranch they selected for their ceremony and reception.  The ceremony took place in the ultra organically designed Sea Ranch Chapel.  It looks like something out of Antoni Gaudi's portfolio.  The luncheon reception was held at St. Orres Inn and Restaurant.  Two very dramatic backdrops!
