Kimya and Jason Willow Heights- Morgan Hill, CA.

When Kimya and Jason called me, they told me that they wanted me to photograph their wedding here in June 2011.  Of course I said yes, but then they told me that they were going to have two weddings!  Kimya is from California and Jason is from Rhode Island.  It is only fitting to do one at Kirkbrae Country Club in June 2011, and the other in sunny California!  We set up an engagement shoot to get to know one another, and as I got to know them, I knew that photographing two of their weddings was going to be special.  We also did a The Dress Session at Gerald's Farm before the big day in California. Check out those images which are featured in this years Southern New England Wedding Magazine.

Kimya and Jason flew out the Sara Zarrella Team to California for their big day! On the beautiful morning of October 16th, 2010, my day started when I met up with Kimya before the ceremony!  She was glowing with excitement in her eyes.   Kimya and her girls where getting ready at the Willow Heights Mansion, while I snapped some intimate moments.  Before Kimya would meet Jason for the first time that day, I rushed over to the next city to meet up with Jason for some photos with his guys.  When Kimya and Jason locked eyes for the first time on their wedding day, we where they to capture it.  The emotion that surrounded them was like an aurora and I couldn't help but smile.

Kimya and Jason will be joining two traditions, their California wedding was influenced by her Persian culture. They vowed to be together for eternity while overlooking the California hills. The happy couple will be having their "Italian-Catholic" ceremony here in Rhode Island next year and I simply can not wait!  I wish you both all the best!  Dont forget to check out Jason and Kimya in this years issue of Southern New England Wedding Magzine!

Stay posted for wedding number two, June 2011.

Jill and Jay Sullivan House-Block Island, RI.

Jill and Jay's wedding was very special to me, for more reasons then one.  Jill is not only a dear friend to me now but also a childhood friend.  We went to middle school, high school and college together.   When she asked me to photograph her wedding, how could I refuse?  I had so much fun doing it too, because not only was I the photographer, but I was a bridesmaid also!  How you ask?  Shhh, but I'm secretly superwoman.

Okay, so maybe I'm not superwoman, but all I know is that I had a great time shooting the lovely couple.  Jill and Jay met at work, both of them working in radio sales, at the time.  They hit it off from there, and Jay proposed a few years ago around the thanksgiving holidays.  I knew I wouldn't be able to wait for this wedding, and when it arrived on September 18th, I was simply ecstatic.

Jill love the color tiffany blue, so naturally her reception was tastefully decorated with accents of her "fav" color (even her shoes).  We laughed, we danced, we cried and we most defiantly smiled!  This wedding was really a win/win for me because I got to photograph one of my best friends weddings and I also got to do what I love with a wonderful couple.  Jay and Jill, I wish you all the best, and I had a great time being a bridesmaid and photographer for such an amazing couple!

Golden Gate Studios did a "wow" job on the florals.

Tiffany from Tiffs Wicked Cakes did their cake but also added a nice little treat, small Tiffany blue cakes made to look like mini Tiffany boxes for all the guest to take home...yum
