Real Weddings: Andrea + Craig

Andrea & Craig, one of the sweetest couples ever, got married at Paradise Ridge Winery this past May.  Their wedding was so much fun!  Most of the guests traveled all the way to Sonoma County from Canada to share in their special day.  It was a blast!  Their colors were pink and navy, with a hint of green, and Andrea put so much work into each and every detail.  It was beautiful! 

Check out the amazing photos below from Verite Boutique Photography:

Love the dress!

Real Weddings: Emily + Blake

At a recent visit to Paradise Ridge Winery, I was flipping through the collection of photo albums of weddings that had taken place there, when I saw the newest addition... which is what prompted me to write this.  Emily & Blake's wedding day was absolutely beautiful and so much fun for everyone involved! 

They were a very relaxed couple that really just wanted to be surrounded by friends and family on their wedding day .  Therefore, I got to spend a lot of time working with Emily's wonderful parents, Dennis & Tracy, who did most of the wedding work, from their home in Texas.

This was such a great family, I will definitely be keeping in touch. Check out these great photos from Suzanne Karp Photography!

Real Weddings: Kimberly + Tom

Kim & Tom contacted Amy Bridges Events shortly before they booked their stunning wedding venue-- Chateau St. Jean in Kenwood, CA.  We connected instantly and I had such a GREAT time working with them!  They are an incredible couple who planned their Sonoma County Wedding from their home in New York City.  I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such an awesome couple!

The color palette for their June 2011 Wedding was one I had not worked with before-- Teal & Peach.  It was GORGEOUS!  Please check out the incredible photos below, courtesy of Volatile Photography:
