Amanda and Jesse started their wedding planning with every intention of getting married in Sonoma, but somewhere along the way, they ended up in Yosemite! Which was perfect. These guys love the outdoors, hiking, exploring, camping, etc. so this was waaaayyy more them!

After meeting these two Maria and I were so taken with their hilarious dry senses of humor, their honesty, and their adoration of each others quirks that we were super bummed when we thought it wouldn't work out, but then we brought on Natalie!! Natalie is Verité's first ever associate photographer and she was the lucky one who got to photograph A and J in the stunning valley of Yosemite.

So, after nine years of dating, these two got to use this grand and beautiful place as the backdrop for their grand and beautiful love! . . . and nobody was crapped on by a pigeon! (That's what happened to Jesse on their first date :))

Just like their Engagement Session, Michelle and Jody's wedding was so them (which is pretty synonymous with 'so fabulous' by the way). These two regularly travel by boat! So having the wedding at the Corinthian Yacht Club, right across the harbor from Sam's (where they regularly boat to on the weekend for cocktails) made perfect sense. They got engaged atop the Farallon Islands, have a special affinity for lighthouses, and need to employ their toes to count the number of Jimmy Buffet concerts they have been to. They are indeed nautical, and their wedding was oh-so-very nautical to match.
And we are oh-so-very thrilled we got to photograph it- all the beautiful details, the all-night Party with a capital P, and the unique love these two great people have for each other!
