coco + todd, charming pt 16, big sur wedding

Courtney and Todd where nothing short of a wonderful time, waiting to happen.  It was such an honor to be a part of their intimiate wedding ceremony and reception.  My heart quickly melted over their sweet pup, Fritz.  His attire was quite appropriate with the 'tux' his mama made him, complete with a bow-tie!

Point 16 in Big Sur is such a special place.  Everytime we work there, we experience this complete peace in the surroudings and people, it's hard to explain, but for certain, it is amazing.  Always a pleasure to work in such an incredible environment and with such lovely peers of A Big Sur Affair Catering.

Wishing you, Coco and Todd, a lifetime of happiness and blessings.

sara + chris, wolf lakes park, sanger, ca

Sara and Chris had nothing short of a beautiful and perfect wedding.  It was a gorgeous warm day over in the valley.  I had never been to Sanger, and during the short time I was there ... I really didn't get to see too much except farm fields! and their site, which was unique and a perfect backdrop for a wedding celebration:  Wolf Lakes Park.

It was obvious all the attention Sara had put into their day ... from the charming candy station to the cake the immulated her AMAZING wedding dress, just perfection!

Wishing you both a lifetime of joy and many blessings together!

Anya + Mike, Historic Santa Margarita Ranch wedding

Anya and Mike!!! Ahh, how incredible gorgeous their day was!  Anya came to me on pretty short notice for their big day and I was thrilled when we agreed to work together.  Her sweet nature, kind smile and calm disposition and I clicked, immmediately.  I didn't meet Mike until the wedding day, but after seeing them together, it's obvious how they compliment each other and make a lovely couple.

When we got to the wedding, Jill and I thought we'd died and gone to wedding heaven.  I had NO idea she had gone so over the top with incredible details on such short notice.  Nothing was overlooked.  From hand dyed tea stained vests on a handful of the bridesmaids, to custom made flower girls dresses, to boots AROUND THE HOUSE!  I loved their fun, vintage, country theme, it was completely PERFECT for the ranch.

Anya's cousin sang during their ceremony, which was such an awesome and personal touch, she also entertained during the reception ... I love it when families come together for these once in a lifetime occassions to make them special, and give something no one else can give.  At our own wedding, Dan's Grandma sang to us, the song she sang to her husband on their wedding day!  Still brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!

Mike and Anya, I know you will have a wonderful life together.  I wish you a lifetime of joy, and many little blessings : ) 

Lots of love,
Allyson
