Alli & Alex | San Francisco, CA | Destination Wedding Photographers
Now for what we were up to on our California adventure. Alli’s aunt hosted, as well as officiated, the wedding at her beautiful country home. We were there for the rehearsal, which we often cover for destination weddings. Dinner took place at Caps, at a nearby restaurant. Rehearsal coverage is a great way for wedding guests to become familiar with us before the wedding day.
Now this is how I wish we could start every wedding day: picking fresh fruit. There was a cherry orchard adjacent to the house, and we picked several pounds which we even carried carefully back to Naples. (I received strange looks from airport security when I asked that they be gentle with my carry on.) There’s nothing quite like picking and eating your own food.
As for the wedding location, how gorgeous! Fountains, roses, hedges and pretty gates, white lanterns in the trees, vineyard across the street… what a dream. The long driveway served as the aisle, with the beautiful iron gate behind the altar. Alli looks like a bridal goddess with those trees swaying around her, no? The festivities took place in the backyard while live music and dancing entertained the guests. We even shipped the fotobooth out there with us! Yes, it travels well, and the wedding guests had a ball. What a wonderful wedding you two had… thank you for having us there to capture your photos. Congratulations!

Moore & Fulford St Petersburg’s Wedding
I had such a great time at the wedding in St. Petersburg, it brought back so many memories from my own wedding. The weather and location were perfect, with the ceremony happening in the backyard overlooking the water. Who couldn’t claim this to be a dream come true. As the sun settled beyond the horizon, the father of the groom made sure wedding sparks didn’t settle with the sun. To the surprise of the bride and groom he had grade A class firework show to put on. Have a peak at some of the images of the day.
