with their ceremony at a pretty white church and their reception at a place called quail gardens, the wedding day of jane and alex was perfectly them. classy, elegant, lovely, and totally them. the girls were such a blast, totally relaxed and fun, the guys made me laugh more than i ever have with a group of groomsmen...(can we say, shadow puppets?), their families were the sweetest, and to top it off---- jane hand-made practically every detail. down to the cookies as thank you gifts. i had such a great day, such pretty unexpected moments came to me throughout their wedding.... and here are some of my faves.

say hello to megan and phil martin!
such a lovely wedding. wow.
natalee lopez coordinated the day and totally made it shine. blythe and i marveled at every detail.
megan is so sweetly sweet,
she has such glam-elegance that still has sweetness.
and phil...... i hope he doesn't mind me saying this, but he was tearing up the whole day which made ME cry the whole day. tons of emotion was everywhere, covering the whole spectrum from wild to quiet.
Megan looked SO PRETTY!!!
and phil has the BEST SMILE. i cannot say enough good things about this guy. he has such a positive spirit, such a gentle way of loving megan..... and ahh! he's just great.

this was definitely the first time i've done photos in a wine cellar, and it ruled.

they saw each other before the ceremony, which did an amazing job at calming nerves and bringing a sense of relaxation and fun. they had this sweet moment right before she walked down the stairs and saw him though----- so close, but they hadn't seen each other yet. anticipation to the max.....!
(how cute are they?)

this is one of my ultimate all time favorites. oh, my, lanta.

the wedding was held at Megan's aunt & uncle's home in Upland.
the catch was: it literally felt like we were in Tuscany. increds.


the details at the reception were incredible. megan is really into earthy, mossyness...
aren't these engraved flower boxes stunning?
eric trine was the dj, and he honestly put on the best dance party i've seen in a long time.
he's amazing, and if you're into having a BLAST------------ hire him!

congratulations you guys!!!

Gorgeous. I adore that ring pillow and the centerpieces and all the smiles and that grinning boy with glasses.

I LOVE this bride's bouquet! I'm going to bookmark this post just to reference it someday when I got married. Gorgeous.
And the pictures are fabulous, Shannon. I love the one of the bride in the room with the boxes... she looks exquisite.
And how cute is the groom with his butterfly hands!? Adorable.
