Incredible Wedding at the Iconic Sam’s Chowder House in Half Moon Bay

I feel so lucky to have been the one to capture this amazing day!  Marg and John wanted to throw a wedding for their daughter that really encompassed who she is… and boy did they!  This sweet soul of a bride has so much depth, warmth and compassion to all that is around her and in return tends to attract the same energy back.

Rachel and Bud love the ocean.  They love their friends.  And they love their family.  All of these things were present with a beautiful wedding day at the famous Sam’s Chowder House in Half Moon Bay.   What made this day even more special were the small yet big touches these two brought in to their day from the private oyster toast at sunset to the custom written welcome notes to each and every guest, not one mirroring the other… all unique to that individual it was given too… who does that?  Rachel and Bud do!

And then lets talk about Sam’s… obviously the staff and the food are off the charts… but really, how do you go wrong with all you can eat Lobster and a New England style clam bake… the food never ended… it was incredible!

 

Thanks to all of these fellow vendors for making this day come to life!

Stunning Redwood Wedding

Where do I even start with this amazing day.  This is my second opportunity of capturing a magical wedding for the Cozzolino family and they never disappoint.  Completely different yet equally amazing form her sisters!  Olivia and Ramsey got married in the majestic redwood grove at the Mountain Terrace.  It’s a rustic venue nestled in the foothills of skyline with beautiful views and breathtaking trees that surround an awesome place to say your I do’s and your yahoo’s!  Elena Jean blew me away with her floral art… I have never seen such a breath taking arbor she created for them to say their vows in front of.  Well done.  Then there was the other form of art… the desert table.  From “succulent” cupcakes to “coned” donut holes… and a breathtaking cake on top of it all… it was a spectacular and mouthwatering visual, SugarandShare, you out did yourself.  The crowd partied down to the beats of  Denon & Doyle and the day went without a hitch.  So much fun!

Thanks to all who were involved to really celebrate this beautiful couple in a beautiful spot

 

In loving memory of Eddie Cozzolino. I am thankful that my last memory of you was surrounded by all of your friends and family!
