Julia + Ian: Wente Vineyards Wedding in Livermore, Pt. 2

Bowerbird Photography September 27, 2013

After Julia + Ian exchanged vows, surrounded by their sweetest and dearest friends and family, it was time to get the party started! Under a beautiful, warm, night sky, the newly married couple shared their first dance, followed by a fabulous surprise flash mob, which included booty shaking help from their guests. It was amazing fun, especially with their live band, Jump Start, which kept everyone dancing all night and singing along to some truly rock-n-roll classics. It was a perfect day and we could tell that Julia + Ian were having a blast, especially when they opted to smear handfuls of wedding cake frosting all over each others faces. The. Best!!

Congratulations Julia + Ian!!

Julia + Ian: Wente Vineyards Wedding in Livermore, Pt. 1

Bowerbird Photography September 25, 2013

Word was, guests had placed bets on how many rows it would take as the bride and her dad walked down the aisle, before they would start bawling. Pretty sure it was two. They win for being adorable.

There were so many tears of joy on Julia + Ian's wedding day - to witness such perfect love makes one's heart leap with gladness. After the bride and groom got dressed, they had their first look in the garden. Ian hid between the tall corn rows, and Julia sought him out for a long-awaited kiss. The sun was hot, but luckily, the bride and groom had a chance to cool off in the wine cellar and share a moment to rest before their beautiful ceremony.

We're so happy for Julia + Ian and we feel honored to photograph their gorgeous wedding. It was truly a celebration of love and happiness. More photos of the reception coming soon, so stay tuned :)

Summer may be over for some, but in the Bay Area, it's just getting started :) A few fun beach shots we took on a walk with our dear friend Suzanne and her puppy Noe.

Happy Monday!

Saint Ignatius College Preparatory 3rd Annual Alumni Wine Classic

Bowerbird Photography September 17, 2013

This past weekend we donated our photography skills to Ariel's high school, Saint Ignatius College Preparatory (SI), for an alumni wine event to raise money for high school scholarships. It was held at a gorgeous private estate in Kenwood and showcased over twenty SI alumni affiliated wines. The weather was perfect, just right for dipping your feet in the pool and sipping on a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

The fundraiser was a huge success and we were so happy to be part of this fabulous gathering!
