Hey Folks!

We hope you are staying warm during this rainy and chilly winter season! As you probably know our wedding season doesn't really begin until spring but we thought we'd get you up to speed and highlight some of our fall 2009 weddings and preview some of the beautiful properties we've been working at lately.

This is the wedding story of Gina and Kevin who are local Monterey folks. They knew exactly what they wanted for their wedding and it begins with getting ready at a gorgeous private property with spectacular Carmel and Pebble Beach views!

A few shots using the back deck. Did we say views?

Rich colors for a fall wedding.

And then some shots at the front of the house. The bouquet features an heirloom from grandma - this is the time to include your heritage!

Our groom Kevin. Totally comfortable in his shoes.

Some pre-wedding shots with immediate family.

A very proud Mom featured here.

Gina and Kevin decided to see each other before the wedding and get the majority of photography done so they could party at Mission Ranch - not a bad idea!

The Carmel Mission is the perfect backdrop for wedding photography. It doesn't take long to get some great shots.

The most beautiful backdrop just next to the fountain. There isn't a better place to have your Catholic ceremony and have photographic history like this!

Choosing the right shoes always matters - nicely done!

A final laugh before getting married. Champagne to follow.

Gina decided to walk halfway down the aisle before meeting up with her mother.

Father John and a few candid moments.

The Carmel Mission is a very public place so you never know when a few strangers might enter into the shot. This archway leads to the back of the church where the signing happens.

It's a reunion! It's always a rare occasion to get the whole family together and we're there to preserve them.

No limo required. The Mission Church really is only steps away from Clint Eastwood's Mission Ranch! Gina and Kevin decided to walk to the Mission Ranch instead. Notice the live musicians in the background - the perfect way to celebrate.

Enjoying the sunset at cocktail hour.

Now is definitely time for champagne!

It was a non-stop party from the word go! People love the energy of the Mission Ranch venue and Carmel especially.

We photographed to the very end and captured some great moments for Gina and Kevin and then followed them over to the Carmel Inn for the after party where the Money Band rocked it out until closing time.

We had an amazing experience and wish you guys tons of luck in the future!

Stayed tuned for more...
