Another Gorgeous Auberge Wedding!
Hair and Makeup: Erica Carr First time working with her, but I must say, Erica is top notch!
Their first sight brought Marita and I to tears… 
I adore this photo of you Marie, you look stunning!
Their favors rocked. I like them so much I may steal this idea for next years big wedding! Napa Valley canvas totes!! And for you east coasters out there they even have one for Nantucket. LOVE!
If I had to use one word to describe Olivia and Jeff and their wedding day it would be the word passion. Their love for each other and the joy their friends and family shared with them was so incredibly beautiful. What a great way to end the 2009 wedding season for me! Their ceremony took place at Auberge du Soleil in Rutherford and after some yummy cocktails and Hors d’œuvres they headed up to Hall Rutherford. Hall is such an impressive place to have a dinner… You’ll see what I mean in a second…
during their sort of first dance… 
Fun Fact: Kate and Derek registered at REI. this is why I love them!! its so fitting for them, especially since their honeymooning camping style! 
When I met Derek and Kate last month we clicked instantly. There’s just something about them that I love… maybe that they are utterly and completely in love with each other! Last Thursday 35 of their closest friends and family met at Auberge to celebrate their wedding. The big party took place on Saturday at Kate’s parents house with a laid back BBQ where one of her uncles fulfilled a family tradition of cooking for family weddings.
During the ceremony the rings were passed around so that the guests could give their well wishes and blessing to the couple. Kate’s sister Megan rubbed the ring on her pregnant belly. Too funny!
total sweetness!
joking around…
A few from the Saturday reception in the photo booth:
The Saturday reception had to die for cupcakes! Really! Ive had my fair share of cake and cupcakes over the past 5 years and these were delicious!! If you are in Napa swing by Sift Cupcakery and pick up a few. Or two, or three…
