SONIA and ANDREAS


It was a warm & sunny day at AUBERGE DU SOLEIL in Rutherford. And the weather only added to a more perfect Wedding Day for our lovely couple, SONIA TSUI and ANDREAS TERZIS. A Wedding with International flair held in Wine Country, also repeated a week after when they both celebrated their Matrimony in Greece as well. The scenery at Auberge Du Soleil was breathtaking and their service was impeccable - from venue accommodations, to their culinary style. I truly enjoyed working with Sonia and Andreas during several months of planning. And when their big day arrived, the excitement and momentum was full of enthusiasm and merriment.

REBECCA and ORBIE


This Wedding has got to be tops on my list of "Fun and Favorites". Both the bride and groom, REBECCA MEREDITH & ORBIE PULLEN, happen to be Wedding Photographers. So everyone asks me ... "how do you plan a Wedding for 2 of the most remarkable Wedding Photographers? And how would you like to be their Wedding Photographer?". Well, luckily they selected one of the industry's premiere photographers and dear friends, ALISHA and BROOK (aka "The Brook") TODD of ALISHA BROOK PHOTOGRAPHY. And I was fortunate enough to coordinate their fabulous, whimsical and colorful day - not to mention becoming such great friends with them (i heart you, BECCA and ORBIE!). With our newfound friendship and comraderie, I've grown to know them even better, making planning their Wedding an emotional, stunning and flawless event. So, to REBECCA and ORBIE ..... you did it - CONGRATS!
