Wedding 12.14.2009 JEFF ginger

Hello to you all my friends! Can it really be Monday AGAIN and the middle of December??? I can’t believe it. I need to send out holiday cards and at least START my gift shopping. Speaking of holiday cards, leave me your address in the comments or email it to me so that I can be sure to send you one! You won’t want to miss out, I promise you that. (email address: rachel@studiocastillero.com). Where was I, oh yes, Monday. This weekend was INSANELY AWESOME because we had three shoots in San Fran and then rushed back to San Diego late last night (coffee = sanity). Seriously though, the shoots were AMAZING and I can’t wait to share them with you (Trash the Dress in the rain!)…but moving on to the wedding I have to share with you today, because well, it’s pretty freaking awesome.

Today I give you the wedding of Ginger and Jeff. This couple is very dear to me (I know, I know…I say that a lot, but at least I’m not a hater!!!!). Ginger is a close friend of mine and even lived with Rico and I last year for a while. I LOVED seeing her every day, making dinner together, watching Grey’s and the Biggest Loser, WINE….good times, I’m telling you. I was sad when we had to part ways but I GUESS marriage is an ok replacement for living with Rico and Rachel so I’ll try not to hold on to too much resentment. (kidding Jeff, love you too!!!!). When they asked us to be their wedding photographers we were so honored and so excited because well, we’re quite fond of them, and also because we were going to contribute to the memories of their wedding day for the rest of their lives. And if they ever have any struggles with their marriage (happens to the best of us)  I’ll just shove a picture in their face “HEY remember that?!!! I have pictures of you kissing!!!” Anyways, on to their wedding. They were married in San Luis Obispo at Edna Valley Winery. We had never shot there before and were not disappointed. It was picture perfect and exactly what I would have picked out for Ginger and Jeff, from the flowers, to the view, to the wine, to the cake, everything (I’ll update this post with details later, gathering). Ok, so it seems that I’ve been little heavy on the writing these days, not sure why, guess I just like to talk. I’ll control myself this time and leave you to the pictures, Jeff and Ginger might just make your day….I know they made mine. Jeff & Ginger, we love you so much and can’t wait for another dinner together soon!

Special props to the fabulous florist who seriously BLEW ME AWAY, Bella’s Design. And to the caterer who did the same by using all local and organic produce, Two Cooks Catering.

 

A picture of Ginger’s parents on their wedding day, couldn’t resist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and although we look a little crazy, I couldn’t help posting this next series…classic. I think this was right after the duet Rico and I did to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” What can I say? We dance, it’s what we do.
