Sandy & Michael – Zenaida Cellars Wedding, Paso Robles

When I first spoke with Sandy, she had mentioned that she and Michael were busy lawyers in the midst of a case. Their wedding would be centered around family, friends and relaxation because these were what mattered the most, to them. It was so easy working with Sandy and Michael because they were so laid-back and quite open. Sandy gave me 6 things and I had to run, run, run – location, caterer, purple, roses, candles and children.
Purple has always been a touchy color for me. Like so many bold colors, it is one of those things where there is no middle. It can either sway very elegantly or Velveeta cheese-platter. We don’t do cheese in our book – no thank you.

We kept the little ones busy with "fun bags" filled with activities and toys.
