yet another Carpinteria Valley wedding...

Took me a while to get these photos but finally received them from the bride. The bride herself is a photographer and spent allot of time searching for the right photographer for her style. It was a fall wedding - last October - a beautiful hilltop backyard wedding at her parent's ranch. Hearts Bloom did a gorgeous job on the flowers which included lots of pumpkins - Michael's Catering prepared an exquisite meal with the sit down dinner of seabass and roast tenderloin, Christine Dahl made the beautiful cake, Classic party Rentals did the equipment rentals while Bella Vista did the lantern lighting. The bride and groom built their own platform to be married on and the groom designed and made the bride's wedding gown as well as his own suit.
Instead of a regular band they opted for the Wine and Roses Quintet (2 violins, mandolin, string bass, and guitar) and English country dancing with a caller/teacher there to keep things moving. They all had a wonderful time!

Carpinteria family weddings!!!

After 31 years in business, one is bound to get some repeat family customers. Last month I helped coordinate a wedding for a family who I have been close to for many, many years and have coordinated at least five weddings in their family! It is such a wonderful experience as I know all the family members and close friends and it's such a joy working together.
This Saturday, it's the 4th or 5th wedding for another Carpinteria family and am so looking forward to it. They have a lovely Tudor home on the top of Shepard's Mesa road with sweeping views. Long-time friend and photographer will take the photos and Peter Sonderegger of Fire & Ice Catering will provide his outstanding food! David Bassinett will provide the music and it looks to be a wonderful day!
