Erika and Will are the kind of people that are so sweet, it seems almost unreal. They are the type of folks that are concerned with making sure their friends and vendors are eating lunch… on their own wedding day! It’s no wonder they are the perfect fit for each other. It was obvious by seeing how many hands were involved with the planning of this wedding, these two are very loved by those around them. Their wedding was a perfect reflection of Erika’s creativity and planning, Will’s support, and the hard work of their family and friends.

Here’s a fun fact that I discovered on Erika and Will’s wedding day: My little bro and sis-in-law were the photographers for Erika’s brother’s wedding a few weeks prior! AND, at the wedding rehearsal, I found out that Will’s little sister (Erika’s bridesmaid) was my sorority sister in college. Two random connections, one incredibly SMALL world.

We started off at the Courtyard Marriott in San Ramon where Erika and Will prepped in anticipation of their day.

Gorgeous flowers from SOMA Flowers in San Francisco.

Kalani Style helped to make Erika look extra lovely.

The San Ramon Marriott had some fun little nooks for our portrait time before the ceremony.

Cute moment alert! You can see in the back of this photo, the poor little ring bearer who didn’t quite make it down the aisle by himself. Nevertheless, the most adorable flower girl in the world did a perfect job in her role.

Erika & Will, thanks for letting me be a part of your lovely day. I wish you both all the happiness and joy in the world!

Thanks to my hubby for being the best light stick man a wife could ask for and Nancy for second shooting.

On Saturday, I had the honor of attending cute pie Kaelyn’s baby party. Kaelyn is incredibly lucky to have such loving and talented parents. Vir did such an amazing job with the candy buffet/dessert spread! I wish I had seen this inspiration while planning my own wedding. Amy Atlas would be so proud.

I LOVE the pennant banner that Vir made for Kaelyn’s name.

Check out the cute little bees buzzing around a gorgeous flower-topped cake! The details truly make this spread.

Yellow whirly pops. Even the name is adorable.

And the best part? Vir secretly told me all of the goods were store bought and many of the platters were borrowed. Wow! Presentation really makes a HUGE impact.

Below are a few more pictures from the party… I wish I took more photos but I was having so much fun talking to all the guests. I came by myself, a little self-conscious about not knowing anyone, but Jess & Vir’s family and friends were so sweet, I had nothing to worry about.

Vir and Jess displayed some of the photos from Kaelyn’s baby session. I especially love how the gatorfoam print turned out.  These are a great, inexpensive alternative to canvas wraps. I really like the clean black border around the foam core.

Last but not least, the sunny party invitation designed by Vir. I’m not exaggerating when I say that she is the best graphic designer that I know. I wish she would start a stationery line because I’d be her best customer.

If I ever host a party and I coincidentally happen to do the EXACT SAME dessert buffet spread, you can just pretend you never saw it on my blog.
