Woo hoo!
I love this picture of Shannon. In fact I miss Shannon so much - I loved planning her and Jazz’s wedding. One of my favorite, most joyful weddings ever. Photo @catebeth
Lily’s mom decided there should be rose petal and look at this fantastic picture. Photo @allison__stoddard
I love the pure joy of this picture!

I’m so happy I could help Nicole + Liron make their wedding happen last December. We planned this wedding in 5 short weeks and it turned out amazing! Photo @apollofotografie
As a mom of an only son, there is always a special place in my heart for the groom’s mom. I really liked Ana (and Victor) - they were so happy for their son, Ivan, and so wonderful to be around. I loved the mother/son dance and every interaction with Ivan’s family. Photo: @roberto_photo
Are you wondering if you should have a veil? I present Sarah. Isn’t her veil beautiful? She wore it well. #wedding #weddingseason #weddingplanner #eventplanner #partyplanner #bayareaweddingplanner #bayareawedding #bayareaeventplanner #sanfranciscowedding #weddingfloralstylist
Lillian + Ron shared their engagement photos with me and I think they are amazing . @juniperspringphotography really captures the joy. I can’t wait to see the wedding pictures this October.
Happy Birthday to the king!

The wedding of Ana & Gisell was an event a year in the making. My beautiful brides came in from New Jersey and had the time of their life here. I already miss our calls. Photo: @reginakpopova Planning: @aboutjoyevents
Happy Anniversary to Joumana & Andrew, I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since the best day ever! #oushesaidyes
I just want to give lots of love to Lottie, the wonderful and beautiful mom of Shelsy. She wanted everyone to be well fed and we were. Her mother of the bride ensemble was one of my favorites and she was glowing. Every photo of her radiates love and joy of the day. One of Cookie and my favorite mother of the brides EVER!!!

Happy Anniversary to Chelsea & Daniel, another modern groom I liked very much. Daniel and I planned this wedding for Chelsea and he wanted to be wonderful for her. The wedding was at the Couple's church and it was a fabulous day with which included an air show by the blue angels almost like it was put on just for them. The couple has moved to Chelsea's hometown in Kentucky and has a sweet little boy now.

I just got some photos from Joey + Greg’s wedding and I’ll be adding them to my website but just wanted to shout out to Greg. He was one of Cookie and my favorite grooms of all time. He was kind and wanted everything to be perfect for Joey. The kind of man I hope my son is like. I liked his best friend too. Photo: @simile_photography

I feel completely honored to be able to have married Mika & Tyler last Saturday.
After so many “no’s” it was so good to say yes to “I do”.

Tomorrow is the big day! Covid ruined their plans but Cookie & I are making up for it. Cookie is filling in as their photographer and I’m marrying them. What can I say? We love our couples and do what it takes!!!
Happy Anniversary to Lydia & Brendan, I can't believe it has been 3 years since this wonderful day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The long awaited wedding of my lovely Rachel and Austin. The pure joy! I love all of these pictures. So romantic with the most beautiful city in the background.
I just can't believe what is happening to a grown woman.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cookie used to LOVE Britney, and while I wasn't the biggest fan, of course, I grew to like her. And of course, I am against punishing women and controlling their bodies. #FreeBritney ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She deserves it.
I love the mother son dance, this one was one of my VERY FAVORITE's. Benjamin was a great dancer and it was easy to see where he got it from. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today’s wedding of Rosa & Ben was our first since lockdown. The joy of today is off the charts. Cookie and I are so incredibly excited for our beautiful couple, for this long awaited celebration and mostly for the return of joy to our lives. #hautofthisworld
These were my clients! They were truly amazing humans! I’m overwhelmed.
https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/in-sonoma-valley-a-couple-forced-by-pandemic-to-cancel-their-wedding-party/
A Bay Area couple told local caterer Elaine Bell to use the money for their canceled party to feed hundreds of hungry people. That’s what Elaine Bell is doing now.
The couple who donated this food were my clients. We had to cancel their wedding two weeks before the event. We had so many plans! The bride was going to do a duet with her dad, the groom was going to do a cake mapping (we did a dry run that was fantastic). Cookie and I were so excited for this event because when you have an amazing couple like this you cannot help but get emotionally invested.
Yet, the plans couldn't happen. Then this wonderful couple decides, "ok let's turn this disappointment into something good", and decided to donate their catering deposit to feed hungry families, all anonymously. Cookie and I know who they are and our hearts are full. Thank you M & J for being caring, amazing and generous!!! We will always think you with joy in our hearts.

Happy Lunar New Year!
Rose Petal Jelly is like G-d’s gift to plain yogurt, along with the much desired and hard to find grape nuts. Yum!
The Inauguration was amazing, the fireworks were amazing. I am completely inspired by Amanda Gorman. I feel happier than I have in 4 years and thought the entire day, the planner in me was thinking of all the logistics all this took, and because I am inspired by the day, I hope to be part of the inauguration of the first woman president because #goals. I am brave enough to see it and brave enough to be it.
Hope renewed!
