For those of you who don't know about this race, it's a 12K from the San Francisco Bay on the east of the city to the Pacific on the west side of the city. There are some world class athletes who take the race seriously but mainly, it's a big city-wide party and an opportunity to wear awesome costumes. Janice and her friends were dressed as sister wives (super costume) when she saw Damon and he somehow recognized her from when they worked together many years ago. They set a date to catch up and were soon free diving for abalone near Fort Bragg. What an adventurous way to get to know someone.

(I also have to give huge high fives to Stacey & Duane who jumped into sideways rain without the slightest hesitation for a few shots on the Headlands. See outtake below.)

Simon was across the room with colleagues, but once he spotted Kate, he had to ask her to dance. They sat and spoke for hours...often being interrupted by Kate's curious family--especially her mom. Years after traveling to places all over the globe, they moved to the US and lured their friends & family to Sonoma for their destination wedding. For Kate, Simon and their UK guests, this was the first outdoor wedding they had been to. (Imagine this being your first?? Gorgeous!) They poured their hearts into making the weekend special for everyone, and Kunde wowed every single person. The views, the landscape, the peace and remote quality of being on the mountain top was truly awesome. It helped cultivate just what Kate & Simon wanted: laughter, conversation and a truly grand time.

I gush about it quite a bit from time to time, but it deserves all the praise it receives. From the patina walls, rustic wood floors, tin ceilings, Katie Powers sourcing & cooking and picturesque fog that sometimes reveals a glimpse of the ocean, it is inspiring. Take all these things, add love (and often some Flora Grubb) and you have the perfect wedding. Couples like Monica & Ryan are drawn to the Headlands for these reasons but also for the intimacy and relaxed quality it creates. It's conversational and warm. Their goal was to have their wedding full of happiness (not stress) and to have their family & friends relax together. They created the type of wedding everyone wants to attend. Everyone was engaged & present. The laughter, tears, quiet moments, roasts--it was like an intimate dinner party.

They experienced dozens of cultures and took it all in together. They told me they didn't argue once and since getting together, they've received very few "noes" from the universe. Travel makes such an impact on long-term life--getting out of your comfort zone, seeing how other people live, gratitude, laughter, stripping yourself down to the bare minimum, relying on the only person you know--it broadens our perspectives, creates strong bonds & is incredibly grounding. It's a great way to discover what you really need in life. After spending time with Becky & Alan, I realized that although most of their relationship was spent apart (grad & law school), they are incredibly close & connected. They have shared rich experiences and immersed themselves in wisdom & culture; together, they live life fully. Cheers to their wedding at Atwood Ranch this summer!

At the end of the evening, we took some photos in a field in front of the large rock wall that lines the entire driveway. Lauren told me her grandmother made the wall and laid the rocks by hand.

They take things in, they don't rush-- they see double features of classic movies at the theater. I love that. Their nature set the tone for their wedding and was such a pleasure to photograph.
