Crystal is as amazing and lovely in person as she appears in photographs. Today she is featured on The Everygirl with photography by me! Read her interview here and find out about Rue Magazine (if you’ve been living under a rock).

In production right now with this engagement session I photographed, a bike ride away from my home at Stolte Grove in Mill Valley. This is a place of dreams…..giant redwood trees, rushing streams, a community stage littered with leaves, a magic garden with a hobbit door and so much more. I often find myself here.
   no comments Annie and Jeff met working for the same company. When she heard that he played the cello, she approached him one day and asked, “Do you want to get together and play some Brahms with me?” Both accomplished musicians – she plays the piano, he plays the cello plus a bunch of other instruments – they decided that instead of a traditional first dance, it suited them better to have a first duet. This may well be one of my favorite moments in a wedding ever. I loved how their wedding completely reflected who they were and had a lot of simple and unique details. They asked the flower girls to come in the costume of their choice…and they showed up as Lady Gaga. Donuts from Dynamo Donuts instead of cake. Allowing Chestnut & Vine free rein with unique arrangements for the long family-style stables. QR codes printed on the invitation. Hand-painted candle lanterns that doubled as table numbers. The weather forecast for the entire week called for storms, and rain it did, seriously pouring down rain and wind. Luckily it was clear enough for a bit of outdoor portraits for Annie + Jeff! The Headlands Center for the Arts is my new favorite place — uniquely located on the coast of the Marin Headlands in old officer’s barracks, it offers support for artists and for lovers of art. Even the walls and the latrines are art installations! See that lemon tree? Best idea for an altar arrangement ever. The tree is meant to be planted in their garden to enjoy always. no comments It’s been grand fun doing lifestyle shoots for The Everygirl over the past few weeks and I was absolutely thrilled to see my photographs of Taylor Sterling up on her feature there today. Taylor is the mastermind behind Sterling Style and The Glitter Guide and is just about the sweetest and easiest person ever. Plus she’s got a killer wardrobe! Go on over to The Everygirl and read her inspirational interview here ….and check out my photos while you’re at it! no comments
First, I apologize for the ultra-long post, I just could not bear to split this one up into multiple posts, it’s better as a whole story. This wedding was a dream. Eliza + Josh. Sweet, thoughtful, kind. Adventurous. Well-loved. Exceptionally sweet and fun-loving parents – you don’t always get parents that are in the thick of the dance floor at every wedding. Incredible organization by Aimee + Anahi of Tropical Occasions and Santa Teresa Beach Weddings. The amazing little surf town of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Jungles. Driving 4WD through streams and unpaved dusty roads. Roller coasting through tropical winds in a teeny tiny plane. Hot. Hot. Hot. Surprise fireworks, a beach bonfire with s’mores, an ex-pat rocking band, friends that hopped onto the guitar and got the crowd going, and a DJ that left it all on the dance floor, a wedding that was still going strong at 2:30 am. The fisherman groom and his friends catching enough for a welcome party fish taco BBQ. Take me back any day. Preferably now. It did remind me of my own wedding years ago in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (minus the rainstorm that battered mine), which just made me love Eliza + Josh and this wedding even more. Huge shout out to my very talented photographer friend, Kali Kraum, who joined me in Costa Rica and contributed many of the photos below. Many laughs shared through our adventures, she was a great travel companion and, of course, an amazing photographer too. Coordinators: Tropical Occasions, Aimee Monihan and Anahi Contreras Love it when there is a great group of girlfriends surrounding a bride, especially when they have a giggle fest involving baby powder… show 3 comments Awesome!! So festive! Beautiful work, Andi! Looks like such a fun and pretty wedding. Costa Rica is amazing – we took our belated ‘lune de miel’ there and it was awesome; so hard to leave! I also wish I was still there, esp. today as the rain pours down in NorCal … Lovely pix! thank you for the kind words!! |
