Festive Harvest Gathering at Concannon Winery

Lauren and David’s autumnal winery wedding was wrapped in rich reds, dark woods, and festive pumpkin table settings. This was the couple’s second wedding celebration, having held their minimony in their Danville backyard the summer before. The minimony was a small gathering filled with love and Zoom calls to family, but the couple was ready to really get down with a proper celebration at the Concannon Vineyards in Livermore.

L+D held a cocktail hour on the lawn and patio among wine barrels and lanterns, and then repeated their vows for the larger crowd. This time, David’s family from Jamaica and New Jersey were able to witness the couple profess their love in person, not over the internet! Lauren’s dog Lou even made an appearance in a very dapper dress shirt. 

This wedding was also special for the duo because they shared it with their beautiful baby girl, Sally Joan. After heartfelt toasts and dinner, the party took it to the dance floor for a night of moving and shaking. Although the adventure-loving couple had to reschedule multiple times due to the pandemic, both of their weddings were joyous occasions of immense love and memory-making.

Rustic Elegance | Oak Farm Vineyards Wedding

Not-so newlyweds Allison + Greg finally had the wedding of their dreams at the breathtaking Oak Farm Vineyards in the outskirts of Lodi. The couple officially said ‘I do’ back in 2020 with a socially distanced minimony in their quaint backyard, but the two were determined not to let their ideal day slip through their fingers. They fantasized about an elegant, minimalist occasion with a touch of rustic charm. But above all, they wanted to finally be able to celebrate with all of their loved ones gathered in one place.

Growing up in Lodi, A+G chose Oak Farm Vineyards for the close proximity to the bride’s friends and family. And the wine, of course. Since the bride and groom both share a love of wine, the vineyard felt right for them. The couple recited their vows under a breathtakingly lush archway framing the pond.

The reception commenced under twinkling string lights with feather boas and heart-shaped sunglasses at the ready. Having waited so long for their day, they wanted an atmosphere conducive to fun, celebration, and a dance party to remember.

Cozy Outer Richmond Engagement Session

During the height of the pandemic, Alyssa and Dakota had a lot of time to explore their Outer Richmond neighborhood. For their engagement session, we decided to visit two favorite spots: the iconic Balboa Theater and Simple Pleasures Café. They spent many afternoons reading in cozy corners with warm lattes.

After a little adventure around town, we moved to Sutro Baths, where the rugged cliffs and gentle fog perfectly framed the couple. San Francisco is full of diverse and beautiful scenery and it was a pleasure to capture the area they call home!
