Jenevieve + Percy

Alison February 25, 2014

GO BEARS! Wait, wait a minute - I think I just got caught up in Jen and Percy's wedding excitement. Jen and Percy met at a Berkeley alumni party in Singapore, where Jen's from, and even though she didn't go to Cal, Percy still managed to fall in love with her. These two planned their entire wedding from Singapore, and so we didn't actually get to meet them in person until the week before their wedding day. Luckily, we immediately hit it off - not surprising given that Jen is super sweet and considerate, and Percy, who loves adventure, is game for anything. I mean, who doesn't love a groom who jumps, kicks and bounces his way through a wedding?

Amy + Brett in Sonoma, CA

Alison November 18, 2011

gorgeous fall wedding at viansa winery Amy and Brett flew out from New York to be with their family in California wine country at the Viansa Winery for their Halloween weekend wedding. Sonoma was warm and sunny with no hint of the winds that we experienced during their engagement shoot at the winery last May. You couldn't have asked for a nicer day.

To my delight, after dinner all 130 guest stood up and began to dance in unison. Surprise: Flash Mob! This amassing feat was coordinated by the fun committee of Teresa and Rob, Judith and Tom's sister and brother, respectively. You might remember Judith and Tom's wedding which we photographed back in '09.

Amy and Brett's wedding was all about family and fun. Brett's sister married the couple, and they didn't even seem to mind when their ceremony was interrupted by a nephew who just want to say "hello". Their first dance was choreographed and provided a great deal of entertainment, and the dance floor props ranged from feather boas to flashing rave lights and glow sticks. There was an overwhelming feeling of closeness and joy throughout the day.

Johanna + Jack in Napa, CA

Alison August 26, 2010

Johanna and Jack are both from Chicago, but had an amazing destination wedding at the Carneros Inn in Napa. With their closest family and friends, they exchanged vows in the middle of an apple orchard, drank wine by the pool, and danced to acoustic renditions of some Bob Dylan favorites. It could not have been a more perfect day. Furthermore, Adm and I have never laughed so much during our couples' portrait session. Johanna and Jack, we wish you so much happiness and hope you're laughing (with each other) for years to come!
