It’s always extra special when a couple decided to get married at one of their childhood homes. The groom grew up in Woodside, and his parent’s property was the most beautiful setting for Masha and Thomas to say their “I Do’s”. 

I had such a fun time working with Annaliza of Seventh Heaven Vintage Rentals to style her pieces and find the right elements to showcase her work.  Twice a year she hosts this workshop to give emerging photographers a chance to build their portfolio and works with vendors to create something beautiful for them to photograph, led by a seasoned photographer.  I had the pleasure of working with so many new vendors to create this beautiful story. 

Finding a venue can be one of the more difficult tasks when it comes to planning your wedding.  It’s usually the first really big item that you need to tackle and can be a challenge to find something within budget that still suits you and your partner and fits all of your guests.  For those of you that might be lost in the sauce trying to figure out where to get married, here is a quick guide of some of my favorite venues that might fit your aesthetic. 

Ceremony rehearsals are one of the aspects of planning which can really impact the day of the wedding and help it run much smoother.  

Everyone’s heard about wedding horror stories that turn into a funny story later… like… way later.  I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to be a victim of a wedding gone wrong!  A Wedding Emergency Kit is a great start to making sure your day goes off without a hitch (hiring a planner to handle the mishaps without you even knowing about them is always the best option)!
