Ceri + Richard // Wales Wedding Part 2

Ceri and Richard spent afternoon of their wedding day enjoying a long family meal in the Wainhouse Barn and then welcomed the rest of their guests back at main house. The night was filled with heartfelt toasts wishing Ceri + Richard well, catching up with old/new friends, and then dancing the night away with burgers and cheesy chips. They even took some time to watch the sunset over the grounds with us before heading back to join the party. Truly beautiful day.

Skyler + Kevin // Healdsburg Wedding

Not even sure where to begin with these two… Basically, we’re just so thankful they saw us running around with cameras at this other dear loves’ wedding and decided to reach out when their own wedding time came along. Because, it feels like we should have been friends with Skyler and Kevin forever ago! We are so so glad we got to know them through their wedding journey.

1st off, Healdsburg is LEGIT! This was our first venture up there and I am seriously sold on finding a way to live there someday. It is gorgeous. Skyler and Kevin found the most idyllic property at Hoot Owl Vineyards and completely transformed the space to make it their own. You can also tell just how meant to be they are in that they both gave each other awesome, incredibly thoughtful gifts before the wedding. I mean, Kevin hand-carved that whale! We were impressed with how they were both so calm and completely joyful throughout the day, such a perfect model of how to enjoy + take it all in.

We are so in awe of their love for each other and were humbled to get to have such an insider’s perspective on this whole day. Skyler + Kevin, we love you guys to the moon. Seriously look in to moving to San Diego already!

Anna + Jonathan // Mexico Engagement

Oh Mexico, you have my heart. We have been doing lots of traveling this season (hence our terrible email response rate of late) but we wouldn’t have it any other way! Who needs sleep? đŸ™‚ We actually just got back from a darling UK wedding that we can’t wait to share soon, but today it’s all about one of our fave getaways…Baja. It’s no secret that we love grabbing some tacos down south and visiting the insane gems in Valle, so much so that we got our Sentri passes explicitly for that purpose. So if you were thinking of doing photos in Mexico, don’t even hesitate. We’re down!

We were super pumped when we met Anna & Jonathan and they shared their vision of heading down to her family’s home in La Fonda and exploring some tide pools & cliffs. Anna had so many fond memories of growing up and playing there as a kid. She showed us her favorite features and haunts and soaked in the history of the place…and the colors! Such crazy, vibrant tones we got to play with! The taco + churro combo we snagged on the way back certainly helped top off an already perfect day. Take a little mental vacay this Monday and get lost in this session instead.

Anh + Chris // Parker Palm Springs Wedding

Oh hi internet world! Remember us? It’s been awhile since we’ve gotten around to a proper blog post…Where did the summer go?! We’re double team/double-timing it over here to keep us up to date on all our lovely summer weddings. It helps too that we’re gearing up to go visit/meet some new friends over in the UK for a wedding next week! Eeek! Someone tell me what travel pillow to buy.

Really though, this share has been long overdue. The Parker Palm Springs is always a dream. I mean I would live there if they’d let me. Lemonade all day. Secret gardens. Old Hollywood vibes. This place knows what they’re doing. Anh + Chris are the sweetest! They made everyone feel loved and planned a pretty killer party complete with Lion Dancers + a karaoke after party they kindly invited us to! Yep, it was insane. Take a look.
