Dallas and Haley exchanged vows with an intimate backyard wedding in the groom's childhood home in Sonoma Califonia. Every flower and every little detail had a personal touch. Haley, the bride, was up early the morning of her own wedding to put up flowers.

When my dear friend, Gabriela, announced she was expecting, I insisted on taking her maternity photos. For her maternity session we headed to one of my favorite locations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Chelsea and Nate's intimate Rengstorff House wedding was "a combination of sugar and spice" coming together into one - as described by one of their bridesmaids. And, I couldn't agree more. The perfect combination for one hot summer California wedding.
