Brandon + Jamie | California Olive Grove Elopement

Lovely right?  Wait until you see the rest!  And I’m not trying toot my own horn here, I am just in awe of how radiant this couple is, how soft and pure the light was shining, and how perfect a setting we picked for our eastern Mediterranean-inspired photo shoot.  The vibrant punch of colour set amidst pastel earth tones…I could swoon.  And this is right here in my own backyard of Livermore!

I had the pleasure of working with so many amazing people in order to pull this shoot off.  Connecting with the family who own and operate Livermore’s historic olive oil production, hanging out with Brandon and Jamie over the course of the weekend, hauling and styling flowers, cake, wine, and decor with two AMAZING Bay-area planners, Erin Russo and Reba Anderson, brainstorming with stylist Jess Gould for two unique looks…the list goes on.  You all were incredible and I’m so grateful for the opportunity we had to work together!

While Brandon and Jamie were true newlyweds at the time of the shoot, we did wind up styling the session as an elopement so viewers could see what an intimate wedding in Livermore might look like.  The shoot was featured on one of my favourite wedding blogs, Magnolia Rouge, this past April, but I wanted to share more with my loyal viewers!  Here you go and happy weekending!
