Joe & Missy's Wedding in Kauai, Hawaii

Seven years ago today, we were standing on the beach of the Na Pali Cost in Kauai, Hawaii with Joe and Missy for their intimate ceremony. Back in 2004, shooting on film was the industry standard for photographing weddings. Armed with a Mamiya RZ67 medium format camera and a Nikon F3 35mm camera we shot on Kodak Portra 160 Film.  Images were then scanned with an epson film scanner and edited in photoshop to create the looks you see below.

Val & Sasha's Wedding at Arden Hills Resort

Val & Sasha had their fairytale inspired wedding at Arden Hills Resort & Spa in Sacramento, CA. The Villas at Arden Hills are fit for a Princess. This world-class Tuscan-style bed and breakfast, features a sweeping iron and marble staircase, wood beam ceilings, royal arched doorways, large mirrors, and stone fireplaces in every room! Sasha looked stunning in her Disney Princess taffeta gown featuring multiple layers of dreamy gossamer tulle. The embroidered lace and crystal beaded bodice with rose detail add an elegant touch. She even had glass slippers to complete the look! The ceremony featured songs from different Disney movies and every table at the reception had its own Disney Princess (and her Prince) center piece on a turntable, spinning for all to enjoy. After Val & Sasha danced their first dance as husband and wife (a classic waltz) Sasha changed into another gown so she could more freely enjoy the rest of her romantic day.
