“Hey Skylar, can you sit still for one minute so mama can test her flash? Just look at me, you don’t need to smile or anything.”
This is her range of emotions in 43 seconds.
The last installment of Jon and Celeste’s beautiful wedding at Chileno Valley Ranch…
Think delicious food, twinkle lights, barn, long tables, great speeches, rosy glows and the moon.

these are spectacular, mary! i got chills looking at them.
gorgeous, mary!!
I love this set of portraits. I remember when I was taking them, I kept sighing and saying how beautiful everything was. I actually didn’t even realize I was doing that until I asked them why they were laughing and they let me in on it.
That last picture is their first dance practice before heading back into dinner. Reception shots next!

These are wonderful memories. What a ceremony…
Celeste and Jon made it official a few weeks ago at the beautiful Chileno Valley Ranch. You may remember their cool engagement shoot at an old warehouse in West Oakland. The day at Chileno was on the other spectrum of look and style. Light, natural, beautiful. I was so happy to be a part of this union -thank you Jon and Celeste for asking me to document your wonderful celebration.
Location: Chileno Valley Ranch

From Celeste about the dress: “I found the dress through pics of a wedding in Berlin, loved it, but no one carries the line in North America. I bought the dress and sent them measurements, sight unseen.” I love that!
