I absolutely LOOOOOOOVED Stephanie and Ken’s concept for their E-Session.  They really wanted to personalize it by incorporating things that have sentiment to them – SOFTBALL & COOKING! How cute is that?!?!?

They met and fell in love playing softball on their co-ed team, so what better way to capture the first part of their E-Session than in their softball gear.

They also wanted to show their love for one another and their passion for cooking.  We were excited about seeing Ken’s skills in the kitchen, since he is the owner of Williams & Wynn Catering, so we set the 2nd part of their E-Session in the kitchen.  The menu feature = Shrimp & Grits, YUM!!!

Cathy and I had a blast working with Stephanie and Ken and we especially loved chowing down on those delectable delights!

We can’t wait for your special day!!!!

And here are some of my favorite photos of the day….

Rochelle and Muhammed celebrated their special day at the very tre’ chique St. Regis Hotel in downtown San Francisco.   The St. Regis spared no expense in making this couple feel like royalty, providing the very best in champagne, fine dining, white coat waiter service, even providing them with their very own butler for the day.

With the vibrant, modern & elegant designs of Events by Request, their special day is surely one that Rochelle, Muhammed and their guests will remember.

Thank you to the wonderful Colson, for joining our team for the day and grabbing some gorgeous detail shots!

Congratulations to the newlyweds.

So, wow, where do I start? …… Obviously, this was an incredibly amazing way to end 2011′s wedding season.

Could anything say romance more than crystal clear water, powder white sand beaches, paradisaic weather, a couple in love, surrounded by their closest family and friends …….. I have a hard time thinking of a more perfect setting than this to commit your love to one another.  The Island of Turks and Caicos was the ultimate wedding destination!

When you add to those glorious elements, the vision of MB Wedding Design and Events and the stellar artistry of Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist, Maria Chang of PMA, I do believe we had the recipe for pure magic!

The team of Melinda Le’ Photography were beyond humbled and grateful for the privilege of capturing such an unforgettable experience for Meg, Brian and their family.  They say that a picture speaks 1,000 words, my hope is that these photos speak as “art and memories” to Meg and Brian for a LIFETIME!

And without further adieu……..some of my favorite photos.

Palm Event Center

Livermore, California

November 5 2011

Kerry and Szabolcs dedicated their love to one another on a crisp Autumn afternoon.  They wed in the VERY ROMANTIC Wine Barrel Room, at the Palm Event Center amongst a host of family and friends.

Though the threat of rain loomed over our heads, we managed to get some GORGEOUS photos of them!  (I just love the afternoon lighting that you only get in Autumn.)

They were a super fun couple, ready to PARTY and have a good time on their special day.  They’re energy was infectious and I loooooved their color combination!!!!

A special thank you to our lovely 2nd Photographer, Nicole, for her photographic contributions.

And as usual, here are some of my favorite photos of the day…..
