Adam and Justine

This past Saturday we had the privelege of photographing Justine and Adam's most beautiful wedding. It took place at RH Phillips Winery in Esparto, California.
Justine, as you can see is a living doll of a bride. She had so much fun and was so expressive, we really had fun with her.
Both Adam and Justine were such good sports it made our day a pleasure. It started out pretty hot, but as the evening progressed a nice cool breeze came up and it was perfect! The neatest thing was watching the festivities under a full, beautiful moon. It was so pretty and really neat when we all sang "That's Amore" with an actual moon shining down on us.
There was great music for dancing and party-ing by Sierra Sound.
Liz Steiner, manager of the Tasting Room did a great job keeping everything organized and presenting a beautiful buffet dinner. We think the winery is a beautiful place for weddings, if any of you are looking...
The whole wedding was very gorgeous with beautiful flowers prepared by Adam's most talented Grandmother!
It was fun having a couple of our past brides present too. It is always fun seeing them. We have the most beautiful brides (and handsome grooms, too!) in the state, I think.




Here are some of the details from the wedding.


Here is one happy couple!!

It will change your day!

Our New Digital Frame

Our February Photo of the Month from Steve's Digicam- Baby Christian G.


I don't think I told you all that we ended up winning a Digital Frame from the Steve's Digicam photo of the day contest.

I highly recommend these frames for you and your loved ones. They make excellent gifts. I recommend having a family photo shoot and for Christmas, send your parents or grandparents a Digital Frame with the pictures from the shoot! They will love it!
Imagine a nice slide show of your wedding or your baby's latest antics. It is the next-best thing to their being with you.

The 5x7 Digital Frame is perfect for a desk at work, or on a side table in the living room.

San Francisco Day

Time to head home... a new way of travelling around the city.

A picture for my pal, Abigail...for old time's sake.


Sleepy California Sea Lions.


Shrimp at Bubba Gumps. Yum!


A sneak preview of some of the glass. Now you have to go to see the rest. It is spectacular!


Todd posed by the Hammond paper exhibit at the de Young.


Barbara and Sue showing how "life imitates art".



Here we are, Barbara, Sue, Aimee, Todd and Noelle. We are all happy and ready to spend the day in San Francisco.



Instead of more babies or weddings, today I'll tell you about our most perfect mini vacation last Wednesday.

Sue, Todd, Aimee, Noelle and I all piled into Sue's nice roomy car and off we went about 9:30am.
Our first stop was a little tour of Krispy Kreme donuts. Thanks to Pastor Exter's sermon last
Sunday, Barbara knew the exact exit for Krispy Kreme's-Apian Way!

So after such a happy start, we drove into San Francisco and found a parking spot right near the de Young Museum. It was just a short walk to the museum. We spent a couple of hours at the beautiful Chihuly blown-glass art exhibit. It was amazing.

Then we drove over to Fisherman's Wharf, parked in the public parking lot and strolled over to Pier 39 for lunch at Bubba Gump's. We all had delicious shrimp lunches. After that, we walked out on the pier and watched the California Sea Lions basking in the sun.

We walked off our lunches by touring Fisherman's Wharf and walking to Ghirardelli Square.
It was quite crowded so we managed to leave without buying any chocolate!

The weather was perfect (for me). A nice cool day with foggy sea air felt very refreshing before we headed back to 90 degree weather at home.

If you are interested, we will post the rest of the pictures on flickr soon.
