Mayra and Brian's wedding in Sonoma was so gorgeous that I felt like I was on a magazine shoot! I was out there for a few days of festivities so I'm gonna break this up into 2 posts- starting with Friday when, guests took busses to two wineries for private tastings and then headed back to the house Mayra and Brian rented for the week for an amazing Cuban style dinner! Some highlights from the actual wedding will be posted by Monday so check back soon!

Sonoma

Photobucket
Just got back from a week in California, I was out there to document Mayra and Brian's amazing wedding weekend in Sonoma and also had a chance to visit my family in Davis on both ends of the trip. I have many photos to go through but I'm excited to share some highlights of their gorgeous wedding - in the meantime here are a few shots i took exploring wine country. Check back soon for some wedding highlights and info on viewing all the photos!

happy birthday pete!

Photobucket
a few highlights from our weekend where we celebrated pete's birthday by heading up to michigan and hiking around with griffey, check out my lovely homemade carrot cake, and griffey gets a treat of his own (that he is balancing on his nose!) after the hike we filled up our growlers at the saugatuck brewing company and had a few beers watching the sunset! was gorgeous out and the trees are just about in peak fall color- was a great relaxing weekend!

jack & avery's birthday carnival!

Photobucket

this post is a little past due- but had to share cause jack and avery celebrated their 5th and 2nd birthday's in style! trying to get photos of 16 kids on a sugar high running in opposite directions was no easy task- but it looked like all the kids had an amazing time- and why wouldn't they- with face painting, a bounce house, a pirate dig, a duck pond, a ring toss, a petting zoo (with goats, pigs, sheep,donkeys, ducks, bunnies and geese) not to mention candy, popcorn and cake too! it was like vegas for pre-schoolers! happy birthday guys!!!

Congratulations Erin + Paul!

Erin and Paul's wedding photos will be posted to my proofsite by November 10th. For the password use Erin's maiden name.
Photobucket
Erin and Paul tied the knot on a gorgeous fall day with the ceremony taking place at St. Isaac's in Hinsdale followed by a beautiful reception at Ruth Lake Country Club. It was excellently coordinated by Kathy Sevents at Tying the Knot.

Paul's parents and mine are neighbors and I also know his extended family, it was so fun for me to see them all! I first got to know Erin as a bridesmaid when I photographed Jennifer & Andy's amazing wedding last year. Erin is as sweet as she is gorgeous and I loved working with her and her mother in preparation for this day.

I knew this was going to be an awesome wedding, and it certainly did not disappoint, it looked like a wonderful time was had by all! Some of the photo highlights below include a bagpiper exit out of the ceremony, trolley rides for the wedding party, a golf cart entrance to the cocktail hour, such sweet and eloquent toasts, and of course, lots and lots of dancing!

I loved documenting your big day- can't wait to share the rest! Hugs :) Kris
