Effervescent is what comes to mind when I think of Brandi & Brian. I could barely keep up with them on this break-the-ice/engagement session. On top of cliffs, jumping off of cliffs, piggyback rides...it was action packed & we laughed a lot. ;) In addition to this zest, Brandi & Brian have a deep appreciation for each other and have supported each other through school, exams and professional life. I love their laid back vibe just as much as their infectious effervescence. And I love their little pooch, Bailey.

Anita & Phil were married at the Saratoga Foothill Club--a Julia Morgan designed Historical Landmark. This was the absolute perfect spot for them (& quite a gem); it set the perfect stage to their beautiful ceremony & underscored the unique touches that ran throughout their vintage inspired wedding.

Anita & Phil found an amazing antique mantel, refinished it & used it as their altar. (They will now use it in their home!) They hung a romantic Victorian-esque chandelier, played old black & white movies during their reception, used their well-loved novels as centerpieces, encouraged guests to take photos of themselves with vintage cameras...and Phil sang the most adorable song to Anita and knocked everyone's socks off. (It was particularly sweet because they met in high school, when they were in band together.) The whole evening was as classic as the films they were showing. And oh so sharp. :)

OoooLaLa...look at this amazing table put together by Alex at Panache Petals with incredible cakes by Studio Cake. Alex's prolific event designs and floral concepts are jaw-dropping and yes, those green orbs with a ribbon & flower are unbelievably delicious cakes (all edible). I want to go to this party/wedding!
