'I can navigate airports no problem, life is another matter.' ~ Charlie
We are on our way!! Our flight leaves this evening at about 7:30pm. This time tomorrow I will be in Venice, Italy. Our plans (very tentative plans) are to spend a week with family in Venice, then jump on the train and travel all the way to Sicily. On the way we will make lots of stops and explore the country. When we have had our fill we will fly up to Milan to stay with friends. And then back to Venice to meet my parents and Charlie's mom. We will spend our last two weeks in Italy surrounded with friends and family. We will eat. We will drink. We will be marry!

Their stars are perfectly aligned. The first time they spoke on the phone Stephen told Jeni just that. He said to her, 'I would marry you sight unseen.' this was the first time they had spoken. It has been several years since that first phone call and while he didn't exactly marry her sight unseen, it is true that their stars are aligned and now, at last they are married.
Jeni and Stephen had a little city hall ceremony, and then invited me to photograph their reception where they blew out the walls. After a portrait shoot at the Morcom Rose Garden, We Headed to Berkeley Marina and then to Hs. Lordships where the reception was held. It was a stunning setting with San Francisco as a backdrop to a room filled with all of the people the Jeni and Stephen love the most.
The day was planned down to the minute, it went mostly as planned. The food was amazing, the room was perfectly decorated and Jeni and Stephen wowed their guests with a fully choreographed dance routine. Jeni and Stephen repeated their vows in front of their loved ones. Jeni didn't speak her vows, but she sang them to her best friend and the room full of guests. And she did a lovely job of it.
Here are a few of my favorite shots of the day, be sure to see the video. There is a link at the bottom of this page.
Jeni and Stephen, thank you so much for including me in your day. You are a sweet couple and I am so happy to know you as clients and now, as friends. I wish you all the best!

Life is so sweet as a little girl. Not only do you get to dress up in the most adorable dresses, but life is an adventure. Picking flowers and chasing butterflies through the garden, that is an afternoon well spent. Alena and Samaya are no exception. Spending an afternoon with these two munchkins was a complete joy.
Brandi Minefee:

The plan is, in about a week Charlie and I will be heading off to Italy. First stop: Venice. Thoughts of the romantic city and delicious food are beginning to fill my head. Yes, I am very excited to go. What a treat it was to be working on a job at Caffe Venezia in my last few days here in the Bay Area. Caffe Venezia is inspired by the fresh pasta shops of Northern Italy, and the food is A-Maz-Ing. At Jenn and Shane's wedding last year, Roger enjoyed the photographs so much that he asked if I could photograph the food and ambiance of his restaurant. Would I? Well, yes I would. I LOVE food photography and getting a job to photograph the delicious food of Caffe Venezia was wonderful, and timely.
Not only was the food fresh and delicious, but they were able to accommodate a gluten free meal, no problem. If you are in Berkeley (or even if you are not, it is worth the drive!) and you are looking for a great meal, friendly service and fun atmosphere, check it out. If you get a chance to swing by on the 17th of June you will also enjoy Opera Night at the restaurant.
Roger, thank you so much for inviting me to work with you. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Sara Atkins:
It was delicious!! One is a fish dish. The other is a prawn linguine. When they made mine they replaced the pasta with kale. So super yummy!

Despite all that is going on I have managed to update the website with some information that you might find useful. If you re interested in finding the updated info go to the WEBSITE and click on the info tab, I have added three new sections. The first is called 'clothing', this is where I make suggestions on what you might consider wearing for your portrait session. The second tab is called 'policies' this is where I lay out the law. I have adjusted my business policies, so take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Finally, I have a new tab called 'planning'. The planning tab is for you to look at as you are preparing yourself for a portrait session. So, take a look, let me know what you think!
