Tyler & Joliz – A Rustic Bay Area Barn Wedding

We had so much fun designing and planning Tyler & Joliz’s Red Barn Ranch wedding in Hopland, CA! Tyler and Joliz were one of the sweetest couples and their love for one another was always so clear and present. They had met, dated, and had a connection before but timing wasn’t right.

Hillary & Stuart: A Classic Japantown Wedding

Why the Wedding Industry Needs Weddings In Color

As with many people, the first wedding I ever planned was my own. I married my husband in July 2014 at Golden Gate Park’s Shakespeare Garden and had our reception at Terra Gallery. It was one of the most JOYFUL days of my life. I’ll never forget the morning AFTER we got married, we woke up next to each other in our hotel room and the FIRST thing Jonny said to me was: “Gina and Jonny got divorced.” Read More
