Lisa + Steve’s Peninsula Wedding

Leave a comment
I met Lisa over coffee months before the wedding because she was in town from New York City. As we talked, I was totally loving every word that came out of her mouth.
… custom gown by local designed, Alice Padrul

…maize and coral color scheme

…rainbow cones?!

…christmas cracker


All of Lisa’s ideas made for a deliciously detailed wedding. I had the best time working with her and her family. Everyone was so sweet on the day of the wedding. Below are the photos from the morning until the cocktail hour.
Band: Front of House

Florist: Zuzu’s Petals

Hair: Livia Caporale

Make-up: Sonia Roselli

Is there ever a better dress photo than one that includes the Mother of the Bride?

With this ring…



Isn’t the Alice Padrul gown just breathtaking?


I adored the over the top arrangement for the escort card table.


The cocktail hour in full swing!


Visually stunning hor d’oeuvres on the terrace.

Lisa’s wish came true, the rain stopped in time for guests to enjoy the outdoor space.



I will post photos about the reception tomorrow!
