The Brazilian Room is a special little venue tucked away in the Berkeley Hills that has such a perfect amount of Bay Area in it...a little fog peeking through a few thousand trees, a hippie jam music party filling the air and a dance floor with a fireplace, just to name a few. Jane and Patrick could not have been happier and I could not have been more obsessed with their flowers - seriously amazing...they even smelled like summer with mint in them! Also, I liked their DJ choice :). Such a beautiful day filled with tradition and love, thank you for having us!

This wedding...I'm not sure if it was the fact that I went to high school with this gorgeous bride, or that there were equal little people then big people in the wedding party, or that wheels on the bus was the theme song, but something about this beautiful wedding just spoke to my heart. You would think putting 9 kiddos in a wedding party would be a little chaotic...BUT it was amazing... to see the patience and love that this bride and groom had for these kids. They wanted to include their best friends and siblings and all the little people that went with them, I loved it, every second. What spoke to the heart even more was the sweet tears of happiness that were shed. The bride seeing her dad arrive at the end of her ceremony, the groom as he danced with his Mom, the maid of honor as she spoke at dinner and I'm sure a few more. What a gorgeous day full of happy tears and babies...what's better in life then that! Thank you Melissa and Evan for trusting me with your day. xo
