“Ridiculously beautiful” would be an appropriate label for Lucille and Justin’s wedding. I seriously couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was held at Lucille’s parent’s home in Angwin, California (near St. Helena on the northern end of Napa Valley).
Lucille’s dress was by Rivini, hair/makeup was by Jim Avila, the delicious food was prepared by Elaine Bell Catering and the flowers were from Friday Flowers.
Here’s an interesting fact. I added up my destination wedding travels for the past two months and the total number of miles is greater than flying around the world 1.25 times. Approximately 32,000 miles according to my calculations. And you thought your commute to work was long!
We’re back from another fantastic destination wedding in Europe! It’s hard to believe that we were just in Italy two months ago.
All five days in Montpellier, France were jam packed with events (yes, a record five days of coverage!), which included a day at the beach, a trip to the mountains, a special wine tasting and dinner at one of the most acclaimed vineyards in France, a civil ceremony, the rehearsal dinner and finally (phew!) the wedding. Oh wait, we did a little “day after” belated engagement shoot too. On top of all that I’ll be shooting Tiffany and Simon’s stateside reception in Saratoga Springs, New York in January.
Now I just need to find time to edit the 10,000+ photos from the trip….
And finally….. the wedding! The ceremony was held at CHIESA di SAN FILIPPO NERI in downtown Florence and the reception was back at the Villa Poggio ai Merli compound.
The food, the food, the food! All I can say is the food! Maria and Kalon’s rehearsal dinner was held at Ciro&Sons in downtown Florence.
Maria and Kalon’s wedding celebration started off with a pool party at Villa Poggio ai Merli. The 15th century villa is set on an olive orchard in the small town of Scandicci (about 20 minutes outside of Florence) and I think the photos say it all. The place is amazing!
11pm at the St. Thomas airport in the US Virgin Islands. Someone told me this was the cool way to get into a car… sort of like the Dukes of Hazard only through the trunk. Actually, the locks were jammed and the rental office closed right after we picked up the keys. Good times!

A much belated tribute to Kat and Dan’s fiesta in Sayulita, Mexico.
Outstanding memories include…
The vertical drive up to the villa and relaxing at the pad in the sky.
The best fish tacos in the history of the world.
Off-roading with Don in his microscopic Japanese rental car.
And of course, Kat and Dan
