| Elizabeth and Claudio had reason to rent a vintage limousine for their wedding day. Elizabeth had a photograph from Elizabeth's grandparents in such a car with a "Just Married" sign across the back. |
| This vintage limo was a beauty. Look at these white-wall tires. |
| While I drove behind the vintage limo (with Elizabeth and Claudio inside), Kelly rolled down the window and hung herself out there to get some "in action" shots. Great job Kelly! |
| And Elizabeth brought the photograph from her Grandparent's wedding day, so that we could take this exact photo of Claudio and herself with it. Oh and in case you can't tell....this IS THE EXACT "Just Married" sign that her grandparent used. They've saved it all these years. Too cool! |

Elizabeth and Claudio chose Wine and Roses as their wedding reception location. After Kelly and I did a bit of scouting around at Morris Chapel, we headed back to Wine and Roses, where Elizabeth and the girls were getting ready.
Wine and Roses is located at:
2505 W Turner Rd.
Lodi, California 95242 |
| We stopped along the way to photograph how full the grapes are right now. |
| Elizabeth was getting ready in the Spa at Wine and Roses. I think I need to go there for a day of pampering myself....anyone want to go with me? |
| Elizabeth had her dress made by Amy Kuschel of San Francisco. And it was perfect! I loved the lace and the simplicity and elegance of this gown. Elizabeth is such a classic girl - I like to compare her to the actresses of the day of such women as Audrey or Katharine Hepburn. All the girls wore pearls...so classic! But it goes deeper than just classic looks...Elizabeth is deep down classic. You can feel it in her soul. |
| The french blue and yellow were used throughout the day. The flowers had such texture. Great job by La Martine Floral. |
| Even the striped linens were classic, elegant and beautiful. |
As we returned from the Morris chapel ceremony, we spent a few short minutes on the grounds of Wine and Roses before the sun was completely gone.
Our journey back from Morris chapel has a special story...which deserves a blog post all by itself...so look for that post coming soon. |
| Mike Regan, of MR DJ Services, prepared a fabulous slideshow that had Claudio in stitches....even crying tears at one point that he was laughing so hard. |
| I loved hearing the words of wisdom and toasts. How many shirts did you really buy, Claudio, once you learned of Elizabeth's appreciation for those colors?! |
| Their first dance started off ordinarily enough...Claudio looking into Elizabeth's eyes...but before the crowd knew what happened... |
| Elizabeth and Claudio broke out into a salsa dance!!! It was awesome...so much fun! |
And the Indiana Jones themed garter removal was perfect for Claudio. Be sure to click the below image to begin your wedding day sneak peak slideshow.
We really had a blast of a day with you two...Congratulations! |

Kelly and I started our day doing a bit of scouting at Morris Chapel in Stockton, California...to get a lay of the land so to speak. We found the Chapel grounds to be amazing! The Chapel was chosen by Elizabeth and Claudio because Elizabeth attended school here.
Morris Chapel is located on the UOP (University of the Pacific) campus in Stockton, California.
|
| We'll come back in a later blog post about getting ready (at Wine and Roses), but we met up with the wedding party on the UOP campus for some girl fun before the ceremony began. We even were able to get into the sorority house that Elizabeth belonged. |
| The flowers were gorgeous. The florist, La Martine Floral Design did an amazing job. Elizabeth chose great colors - french blue and yellow! |
| We headed on over to Morris Chapel to meet the guys. Claudio is so stinking cute! |
| I love this moment! Claudio was so serene as Elizabeth, with her mom, walked down the aisle. |
| The stained glass inside Morris Chapel sure made for a great backdrop. |
| The ceremony was very special. It was wonderful to see the expressions on both Claudio and Elizabeth's faces. |
| All aspects were read in English and in Spanish. Even the Dr. Seuss poem! Claudio's family attended from Costa Rica. And the officiant spoke everyone in both English and Spanish. It was so beautiful. |
| This just might be my favorite photo of the entire ceremony...just huge smiles! |
| We were able to take the newlyweds outside for a few photos before we headed back to Wine and Roses for the reception. |
Okay, I lied...this might be my favorite photo at Morris Chapel. Love Love Love it!
More to come soon. |

As I'm working on Sean and Caitlin's wedding album, I wanted to do a small post about Audrey Gardemeyer of Botanica Floral Designs and show off some more of her work. I have worked with Audrey on some of my own shoots and she is always willing to help and always goes above and beyond. We met Audrey a few years ago when she first hit the Sacramento Wedding scene. We've had nothing but great experiences working with Audrey and I am always taken aback by her outstanding work and wonderful creativity!

Check out these awesome boutonnieres she made from vintage post cards. |
| Using live fish as center pieces was a central design theme. |
| I loved the use of the varying heights of glassware. |
| All the little details make such a difference. |

Shawna and Jeremy were married mid-week in June at Wine and Roses as a destination wedding. Their entire wedding party and guests flew in from the east coast.
Wine and Roses is located at 2505 W. Turner Rd, Lodi, Califorinia, 95242.
Teresa and I started the day photographing details - I love this ring shot! |
| Shawna and her girls took full advantage of the Spa at Wine and Roses. |
| Getting ready was a blast. Shawna is by nature a story teller and she speaks with her hands and is so animated. I could spend all day with her and love every minute of it. I especially loved the "lost car" story. :-) |
| Jeremy isn't too shabby either. The floral decor was provided by Chris of Big Bang Events. |
| The ceremony was just perfect with the setting sun. |
| The ceremony was officiated by Kevin Brown, and was enjoyable, entertaining, and meaningful. |
| The girls and guys were dressed in two colors - dresses and ties. I love that not all the dresses or ties had to match. It went well with Shawna and Jeremy's personalities. |
| This is one of my favorite photos of the entire day. I can't wait to show you more with their album design...in just a few weeks time. Click here to start the slideshow, or click the below image. Enjoy! |
The vendors involved with Shawna and Jeremy's fabulous day are as follows:
Wine and Roses was the venue Shawna and Jeremy chose for their big day.
The florist Shawna and Jeremy chose was one of our favorites, Big Bang! Events. I've worked with Chris of Big Bang before and love his work! The flowers were spectacular!
Elite Entertainment provided music and entertainment for the evening.
Shawna and Jeremy's officiant was the wonderful Kevin Brown who we've also worked with in the past and thoroughly enjoyed his meaningful words. |
