Alanna and Kieran were married this past March in Mammoth Lakes, CA. The weekend threatened to be rainy and windy, but we had gorgeous weather during their outdoor ceremony on the pool deck. Their planned destination wedding at The Westin Monache Resort at the base of the Mammoth Ski Resort was amazing. A true mountain lodge destination, it gave this couple from Arizona a true destination feel. The reception hosted at the Whitebark Restaurant was modern and decorated with organic and floral accents that highlighted the ambience of the restaurant. The staff provided a truly five star experience for this couple and their guests. From the food presentation to the coordination of the wedding reception room, no detail was overlooked.

Nahall and Daniel had a beautiful evening reception at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco with their closest friends. We met Nahall and Daniel through one of our favorite past wedding couples here in Reno. At the time, they were so in love with each other and their golden lab Lily that we knew it wouldn’t be long before they tied the knot. Daniel is a tight end for the St. Louis Rams so his schedule is nothing less than chaotic during the football season and at the time we met them, they were not sure what the future would look like with their wedding plans. When they did tie the knot, it was in an intimate ceremony with only family, but Nahall contacted us to see if we would be available to photograph their reception. The reception in San Francisco was their party to celebrate with friends, and celebrate we did! We met them before the start of the reception in the lobby of the St. Francis and had so much fun capturing some romantic images of them in the hotel. We then hit the busy streets in Union Square for some night scenes. The reception room overlooked Union Square and they had coordinated a variety of the library style rooms to offer different themes of food, everything from fresh hand rolled sushi to the best butternut squash raviolis.
