Tom and Angie had a lovely wedding at Nestldown last summer. First, a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony, with Tom having to answer questions about Angie and their relationship, and bargain with her bridesmaids in order to enter. Followed by a beautiful series of blessings and gifts from their families, and then of course the Western ceremony as well.

(I love this next photo because of all of the chaos and movement, and the sweetness of the bride and groom in the middle, in their own little world.)

Tom works for Facebook and Angie works for Google… it’s a Silicon Valley love story. Tom was on the team that implemented the Facebook “Like” button, and their officiant, Ellen, sneakily handed out “Like” signs for their guests to hold up after the first kiss. Like!!

The band (Marc Capelle and the Casuals) was awesome! I don’t say that lightly about a wedding band, but these guys were so danceable and groovy. I highly recommend them, and I know Kirsten, David, and all of their guests out on the dance floor do as well.

Kristen and David were married at Barndiva, in October. I loved their style, and loved the venue. Beautiful weather, gorgeous dress, and adorable pups serving as ring bearers!

There were stories about opossums… I’m not sure, but I think that this one was sent as a good luck charm from a friend in West Virginia? ;)

Randi and Jared, Cline Cellars, Sonoma

Randi and Jared were married at Cline Cellars last summer, in the most awesome mix of Jewish/ Mormon/ secular/ musical theater (!) and loving traditions ever! They have so much fun with their families and friends.

You might know Randi from her part in singing this song to her friend Amy as a bridesmaid. Of course Amy (one of the officiants during Randi and Jared’s ceremony) and her theater friends were thrilled to return the favor.

Here are some stills from this toast. Tap shoes!! I tapped for years as a kid and was wishing I had my shoes with me. Who knew Cline’s barrel room had such wonderful dance floors?

The party went on and on and on… we could barely get everyone to eat because they couldn’t stop dancing and enjoying themselves.

Wonderful team on this wedding:

Venue: Cline Cellars

Caterer: the girl and the fig

Planner: Heather Holliday

New Album and Image Box Samples

Feb 242012

I’ve got some new client albums, sample albums, parent albums, and Image Boxes to share. And more coming soon. These are so fun to design!

Kier and Will’s personal album isn’t finished yet, but here’s a sample I had made to showcase the Press Printed Album that I offer, with glossy pages and cover.

And this sample for Stacy and Christoph’s wedding is a big favorite. The style of this final album is the Couture Book, and you can also see the new, duplicate (but smaller) Parent Book that I offer.

A unique cover for a very unique wedding and location (Cornerstone)!

The Couture Book side by side with the smaller Parent Book. I’m very excited about offering these!

The final album from Kate’s First Birthday Party (a Collage Style album with a leather cover):

And finally, Image Boxes. I have a few more to share soon, and I think these might be the most popular new product I have. I LOVE how sleek and classic they turn out. The covers are totally custom designed (by me), as are all of the albums. Inside these Image Boxes are 4×6″ or 5×7″ proof prints. These are great for engagement shoots, parent gifts, family portraits, or just to have on your bookshelf if you’re not sure about a huge album (or as a complement to one).

Albums and image boxes, ©Jessamyn Harris (29)

More images of these, and more, products soon!
