Albert and Andrea at Madrona Manor in Healdsburg

This was our last wedding of the season back at the end of September, and what a fabulous wedding to end the season with! After photographing their engagement session, we could hardly wait to do their wedding because 1) they clearly had good taste in food, and 2) Those smiles! They make our cameras happy. And we were not disappointed. Madrona Manor makes their own butter! 'nuff said. And there was such a great vibe at their wedding- it was a wonderful mix of little kids and little grandmas! And everyone smiled so much (although Albert still wins for the best smile there!)

And then there was the exquisite gardens, their gorgeous invitations (hand-printed on vintage handkerchiefs bought one at a time on ebay!), and the overall super lovely laid-back feel of the day. It was wonderful!

Here's to registering 15 years of love with the state!

Tatyana and Casey at Cornerstone Gardens

This wedding had so many great moments, but I'd have to say my favorite was during the Maid of Honor's speech when she pulled up some old g-chats between her and Tatyana from back when Tatyana was first "totally crushing on this guy Casey"! Oh man, I kinda died a little bit; so funny! So here we are, after many years of law school, some trips to Russia, and many hours of reading Lord of the Rings to each other- they are still totally crushing on each other, and we got to be there when they made it official!

(I should note here that the Best Man's speech also made me laugh out loud. Being married to a Blizzard nerd myself, I got an odd little rush of pride (?or something?) when he told everyone that Casey asked him to be his best man via Starcraft-- imagine one space alien typing to the other, "wanna be my best man?" while zerging his Terran siege tanks).
