SANTA ROSA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : SAINT SEBASTIAN CHURCH : OAKMONT COUNTRY CLUB


Marcelo & Reesa are one of those couples that were just 'meant to be'...the best kind, right? Having met casually years ago at a Friends' Wedding, it was what wonderful people & role-models they were that magically brought them together years later - without them even knowing it!

Separately - they were each asked to be GodParents to their friends' 1st born. And, when they crossed paths later - the butterflies began...they fell in love fast & hard...and were Married just 2 months later!! These two DEFINITELY know what they want in life & their Journey to this big day began immediately...
I met up with the ladies at the WorldMark Windsor resort to get ready. With the colors of the day Ivory & Purple - even the room & decor matched perfectly! 
All cinched up, a Bride usually asks "Does it look okay...? Is it right?" I often respond, "Make sure you can sit - you wanna be able to move around & be comfortable...!" OOoops! xo
Phew! Everything's in place - we're ready to head out...
 On our way to Saint Sebastian's in Sebastopol, spirits were up & Reesa was ready to see her man!
 Following the Ceremony, we all loaded up & headed across town to the Oakmont Golf Club for the Reception. Here, it was pointed out that sometimes, Family nick-names are entirely too sweet! "Marshmallow & Reeses" for all! 
The Staff at Oakmont is simply amazing. They were always available & very helpful! Great to work with! Thank You, Michele!
Look at THAT cake! Simply gorgeous! I was astounded to find out the Grooms Cousin was to thank! Beautiful!!
Reesa's Family hails  from the beautiful Hawaiian Islands & were kind enough to bring some of that Aloha to us...Mahalo!
 With just a short time to steal amongst the greens, we worked between Golfers...there were literally men digging in the bushes next to us for lost balls! Thank you for being patient out there, gentlemen!
I'm a firm believer - the Couple that Plays Together? Stays Together!
Those smiles - just contagious!!
 More fun & games! "-)
 Reesa was in the mood to sing...cutest little 'Surfer Girl'...
Let's get this Party started!
Awww - I don't think I could've said it better, myself!!
Congratulations, Reesa & Marcello! I hope you enjoyed every moment of this beautiful day you've been waiting for! You both looked stunning!! Thank you so much for allowing us to reconnect with some old Friends - and certainly make some new ones!! xo
