Just You, Me and This Old Barn

Liz and Randy had their wedding at Liz's parents house which has just been newly built and the gardens lovingly detailed specifically for their Big Day.  The couple seemed like old friends and very much in love.  Everything about the day was easy.  The bride was beautiful the ceremony spiritual, the four children that made up the wedding party, so well behaved, the champagne flowed and lots and lots of kisses.  But photographically, my favorite part of the day was this great old barn next door.  It made for such a fabulous backdrop for the couples first portrait.

Incredible, fall inspired floral arrangements created by the wonderful Rosa of L&R Farm

"Thanks for the pictures! They look amazing... We really enjoyed having you there. Thanks again!  Liz"

Our Love Will Change The World


Lisa and Philip are extraordinary people with enormous hearts, and it showed through all day long at their wedding.  Their friends and family, the simple spirituality of their ceremony, the ease of their laughter and the creative spirit that pervaded their celebration.  


Amazing event planning and coordination by the ever so talented Sonya of Mendocino Weddings.  Beautiful flower arrangements created by the warm hearted Rosa of L&R Farm

"These pictures are absolutely magnificent... We are so thrilled and overjoyed by how beautiful they are...  Thank you so much...  Philip and I are so grateful that you were the wedding photographer...  You are so talented, and have such a calming, beautiful presence about you!

With much love and gratitude,  Lisa"

It takes a Village
Evan and Brian are truly Mendocino locals. Their families go back three generations!  So this really was a Village Wedding. Everyone pitched in, including a close friend of the family, and extremely talented florist, Khamoor of Mendocino Floral Design. The couple proudly drove Brian's restored hotrod that he'd worked on since they had met in high school, to their reception at Crowne Hall.  What a fantastic machine, it parked beautifully beside the stunning Evan in her vintage box veil (love it!).

"The pictures are beautiful!  Thank you."

The Westival
Lauren and John had such a cool wedding. They blended their love of music with their love for each other, creating an all weekend long experience called the Westival (wedding+festival). It was so much fun! And wow is Benmore a neat place.  They rented the entire property including a couple of small lakes, several houses, a great big barn for the reception and some vineyards to explore.  Really amazing!

"These are fabulous! I love how you captured all of our friends, the events. It's a nice mix of candids and action shots. :) 
Thanks again!   --Lauren"

Mendocino Elopement

George and Kelie had a very personal ceremony performed by James Sibbet, out in the gardens at the Harbor House Inn in Elk.  I luv this location!  Elk is like the edge of the world and the gardens frame and display this site perfectly.

This elopement was perfect, of course, because it was created specifically for them by the very talented Sonya of Mendocino Weddings, complete with gorgeous bouquet and the too cute, wedding cake made for two.

"The pictures are beautiful!! We are so very pleased with them.  --Kelie"
