Feast your eyes on Emiliana and Alex’s wonderful Latin American themed wedding.  I love shooting for foodies!  The reception venue, Doña Tomás, is actually a venerable gourmet Mexican restaurant in the East Bay.  If you haven’t been there I’d highly recommend it.

Here are a few highlights from Cat and Chang’s ridiculously beautiful destination wedding in Bali, Indonesia.  One of my personal favorites is the photo of the old man in a white turban.  As the official “rain stopper” he was responsible for making offerings to the gods in exchange for nice weather.  He was on his a-game for most of the day, but I think he lost focus around dinner time because we were hit with one of those crazy torrential downpours that you can only find in the tropics.  It didn’t stop the party though!

I’ve been to some fantastic locations over the past few years but Auberge du Soleil was always on my wishlist. Kristine and Oliver’s wedding finally made it happen! I would move in there if they offered me a room (even the supply room will do). Words can’t do justice to the last photo so just enjoy the spectacle of granny getting freaky on the dance floor.

The night before Tiffany and Simon’s wedding we were told that the French party hard at weddings. We smiled and nodded thinking that it was just an exaggeration. Little did we know the party would end at 6am and the groom’s parents would be among the last people standing (we only made it to 3am). Now that’s a party!

Destination wedding tip #2487987: What to do if your guests are from different countries and don’t speak the same language.
The groom’s aunt organized a mixer where guests were randomly assigned to groups and given the task of acting out lines from The Little Prince in French, German, Spanish, Italian, English, etc.. The activity was a great ice breaker and the guests put on an entertaining show for the bride/groom.

Final note (no pun intended), everyone at the wedding seemed to be musically or artistically inclined in some way (one bridesmaid is even a Rockette!). The best man wrote a song for the groom (which we loved!), the groom’s sisters sang a song for the couple and the groom and his family serenaded the bride. Bravo!

As my great great grandfather always said, “If you’re traveling all the way to France for a wedding you may as well do a second one while you’re at it.”Apparently Tiffany and Simon were given the same advice. Since Tiffany is American and Simon is French the entire week of festivities was actually a mixture of traditions. The following photos are from their civil ceremony, which is required by French law as part of the marriage process.

This has been a long time coming but we can’t wait to share the beauty of Montpellier and Tiffany and Simon’s wedding in the south of France. Tiffany and Simon invited us not only to take photos of their wedding but to capture several days of events leading up to it. We’ll share a bit of the experience over the next few days, but to start it off: wine tasting and an outdoor feast put on by Simon’s family.

The past year has been super busy (huge understatement) and there were tons of weddings that never made it to the blog. I thought it would be fun to revisit a few of those starting with Ashley and Kirk’s gorgeous wedding that took place at St. Ignatious church in San Francisco and the Burlingame Country Club.
