POV: When you see your wedding dress, two years after you’ve said yes to the dress and you still know you made the right decision! Emily was one of our brides who’s wedding was postponed just a few days before because of covid and she waited 2 years to be able to celebrate with friends and family! I absolutely loved this moment. #sayyestothedress #whenyouknowyouknow #firstlook #caughtinthemoment #weddingdayready #weddingdayjitters #bridetobe #gettingmarried #postponedwedding #bayareaweddingphotographer #sunolweddingphotographer #sunolweddings #livermorevalleywinecountry #livealittlemore #vineyardweddingvenue #englishcountrysidewedding (at Elliston Vineyards) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgjvSzAL7wg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Going through all the emotions of being a bride with my sister this year has been so helpful for me to learn the side of my planning bride as I’ve yet to go there myself (planning a big wedding). Then also being a part a bad ass wedding styled shoot planning crew too has let me see that no one can do this alone, SO DON’T! You can have as many or as little bridesmaids as you’d like, and even if they don’t end up in your bridal party - all you have to do is ask! It never hurts to ask because the worst answer you can get is no but that’s not the worst thing, you might be surprise by who just might be ok to help you because you know you’d gladly do the same back if they ask. I was sitting bear wondering what this feeling was that I was having when I realized I have butterflies because I’m so excited for my styled shoot tomorrow! It’s been a few months in the planning and I can’t even wait to announce the fabulous team that made it happen... just want you guys at the edge of your seat waiting to get inspired! Follow along on my story tomorrow for some bts. #livermoreweddingphotographer #livealittlemore #livermoreweddings #sfengagementphotographer #engagementphotos #loveissimple #maiandneil #sanfranciscoweddingphotographer #sunolweddingphotographer #simplejoie #engagedlife (at Fresno, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDfGfyjmbU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h7rs51b3krqi

Loving this simple yet stunning @ellistonvineyards wedding! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: @ellistonvineyards Photographer: @simplejoiephoto Florist: @defordwestflowers Rentals: @pleassntonrentals Bakery: @cakedelight ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #repost @simplejoiephoto . Omg isn’t the natural light in this room amazing! I’ve been to so many wedding venues and over the years, I can say that one thing I admire the most is ones with lots of light and lighter/ white ceilings because it will help with creating beautiful white balance in imagery! @ellistonvineyards is one of my faves because it makes my job so easy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eastbayareawedding #eastbayvenue #bayareaweddingphotographer #wineryweddings #vineyardweddingvenue #ellistonvineyards #loveissimple #simplejoiephoto #sunolweddingphotographer #sunolweddings #trivalleyweddingprofessionals https://ift.tt/2NbjUZ3

Has it been 3 months already since we celebrated this beautiful wedding at @ellistonvineyards ?!! Can never get over the pretty arches in the stone mansion entrance! Emily + Alistair’s spring wedding was one of our 2020 weddings that did not happen because everything shut down five days before the big day! So happy they waited because we had the most perfect day!

With covid putting a stop to many events and weddings we had this year, I’ve actually been doing more design work than normal... for some of you who don’t know, my background in the creative field actually started with graphic design! Looking at some of the flatlay work I’ve done for other invitation suite designers has got me feeling quite inspired to do more into the quiet months. #styledinvitation #flatlaystyle #flatlaylove #weddinginvitations #southernbelle #ranunculuslove #fineartcalligraphy #livermoreweddingphotographer #sunolweddingphotographer #bayareaweddingphotographer #sanfranciscowedding #photographermentor #simplejoie #loveisabigdeal #authenticlove #flatlayphotography #rsvpcards #weddinginvites #brideandgroom #invitationsuite #pursuepretty #prettythings #pdxweddingphotographer #fineartphotography #lovely #invitationsuite (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHyiwrHDqKa/?igshid=hhwfxchzu51q

All our dinner parties have been canceled for the up coming holiday 😭 - for the safety of everyone of course! Just daydreaming of when pretty dining like this can take place again!

And just like that... All the shelves are cleared and the stores are setting up for Christmas! My sister and I were just discussing last night how grateful we are to have made it this far having heard of so many complications due to covid and other issues this year. In just a blink of the eye, life will pass us by if we let it so stop running through it and do stop to enjoy the little moments.

When things are done in love, you can never imagine the possibilities of the outcome. Just feeling grateful for my husband and all that he’s doing to keep our little family afloat during this time and thought I’d share this happy thought as I figure out how to fill my 2021 calendar! I mean I can’t take on too many more weddings in that most of my weddings this year have postponed but to make up for the lost of this year, I’m definitely considering doing about 10 more weddings. Spread the word, spread the love. And I thank you in advance for it. #lovealwayswins #loveisallyouneed #ourstoryismyfavorite #happythoughts #happywifehappylife #thinkingoutloud #bayareaweddingphotographer #classicwedding #booking2021weddings #nowbooking2021 #pdxweddingphotographer #pnwweddingphotographer #loveissimple #covidweddingplanning #planningthroughapandemic #covidwedding #youarealwaysonmymind #sunolweddingphotographer #ellistonvineyards (at Elliston Vineyards) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF_mvBvDWdc/?igshid=11m8zaqt6kel1
