an artisan of life

I work with my heart and my hands.
I appreciate other who do too.
I buy the CD, and listen to it start to finish.
I pick up the phone for a voice. 
I meet face-to-face.
I hold my boyfriend’s hand.
I enjoy anything sweet. 
(I mean, I realllly enjoy it…)
I turn the TV off and enjoy the silence.
I hold my camera in my hands.
I watch the light around me.
I feel the moment, let it impress upon me.
I compose it.
It’s my impression. Of you.
We laugh and smile.
It’s fun to be alive and in love.

In an instant, technological society that is starved for human touch,
I consider myself an artisan of life.

{khara + tony} remix

Khara and Tony have been featured on a ton of amazing blogs this past year. If we were back in high school again, they would definitely win the “Most Adorable and Romantic” award… I don’t think we had that one… I may just have to make that one up. Haha. Well, here’s to two stars...

{erin + josh} monterey, ca

Erin and Josh had one of my favorite weddings this year. Held at Tarpy’s Roadhouse in Monterey, a very intimate wedding that was all about the finest: the finest food, wine and family… everything they chose was a special, special selection for a small group of their closest loved ones. The most exciting part for...

{dave & marcy} carmel, ca

Heaven on earth! That is exactly what Marcy and Dave’s wedding was like, held at the wonderful Holly Farm (aka tropical oasis!) in beautiful Carmel, California in the height of the fall warmth. Simply heavenly. Their traditional Jewish ceremony was filled with such heart and a spirit of authentic community. I got a little carried...

{jacqueline & ryan} oakland, ca

Loved the colors at this wedding! The guests (from Singapore and beyond) all helped create these beautiful origami during the wedding, which Jacqueline and Ryan are selling and donating all proceeds to charity. A traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony in a classic vintage estate in Oakland. Very cool.
Kudos to Hardy Wilson for the gorgeous photograph of...

{h + r} meadowood, napa

I think the last time I witnessed croquet was 15 years ago in the backyard of my parent’s house. My sisters and I practically golfed the balls around the grassy yard…. But last weekend at beautiful Meadowood, this was the real thing! H + R donned all white with their guests to bat around with...

{amanda & ben} napa, ca

Umm..can I say… ADORABLE!? Amanda and Ben are cute as a button. Make that two buttons. These two Napa Valley natives have relocated to Seattle, but came back home to get hitched this month. A great party in a cool wine cave on a VERY hot summer’s day (100+ degrees??!). They were chillin’…all the while...

{cammellia & saman} san ramon, ca

Cammellia and Saman put on quite a party. A traditional Persian wedding with such rich emotion and flavors (not to mention some AMAZING traditional meals, so yummy!) My job is eaaasy when the bride is as poised and camera-lovin as Cammellia. Cheers to JP Dobrin for some beautiful work here as well!

{khara & tony} sonoma, ca

Vintage, funky, fiesta!!! Khara and Tony were married in the summer of 2009 at a beautiful private estate in Sonoma. Mariachi bands, paella and a TON of love to go around, this was quite a memorable wedding.
See their feature on The Wedding Chicks!

{kurt & nicole} Mare Island, CA

Kurt and Nicole are straight out of a movie – make that a Disney movie. These music-loving Disney enthusiasts were married like you’d imagine any prince & princess would be. The setting was quaint and picturesque: a chapel built in 1901 on the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard…boasting the largest collection of Tiffany and Co...
