From Sarah Maren Photographers...Somer and Andy have been together for over a decade, so their wedding came as no surprise to any of their family and friends. Their love is deeply rooted in each other, and as they have grown as people and as a couple. Humboldt County, California had played a large part in their relationship. Andy’s father owns a beautiful home hidden deep in the ancient redwoods that make Humbolt such a stunning location. When Somer and Andy officially got engaged, there was no other place by Humbolt House to have the wedding. They thoughtfully planned their wedding to be deep reflection of who they are as a couple, but also who they are as individuals.
Somer embodied a forest nymph in her flowing Grecian style dress and elegant Seychelle’s sandals. Adding the spectacular wreath atop her head for the ceremony she literally brought out the sunshine when she walked down the aisle. Despite DAYS of pouring rain, just as they were saying their I Do’s the clouds parted and the song Somer had walked down the aisle to, “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles, suddenly became a prophesy fulfilled. After their very personal ceremony, that was preformed by one of the couples closest friends and included the breaking of the glass to honor Andy’s Jewish faith. The couple invited their 120 guests to join them for cocktails in a small tent. They has signature drinks, including homemade ginger ale and Jameson’s Whiskey (a crowd favorite), local Humbolt county wines and a selection of hand crafted beers the groom had brewed himself for his wedding.
They then invited their guests into the large tent for a delightful dinner full of local produce and meats. As Somer works for the Rainforest Action Network, and is very conscience of the environment the couple were so thrilled to be using local, organic ingredients. The couple also composted leftovers and used biodegradable cups for their rehearsal dinner and part of the evenings festivities. After heartfelt toasts from family and friends, Somer and Andy took to the dance floor and opened their party with their first dance to Talking Heads “This is the Right Place” Despite inclement weather, a dress with 3 inches of mud at the bottom by nights end and some transportation hiccups this wedding was bursting at the seams with hospitality, warmth, extreme happiness and most importantly unlimited love.

Lovely. Where did you get your programs?
I love the bottle centre pieces, really lovely x
This is my wedding and I am SOOOO exited to be on SMP where I gained so much inspiration for my wedding. My photographer Sarah Maren is the absolute best and captured my day perfectly
I made the programs myself - I bought the paper from PaperSouce and also a lovely olive stamp and printed them and then stamped them!
Thank you Somer and Andy for having us be a part of your incredible wedding! It was such a joy to photograph, and to be a part of. We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful experience. We loved every moment!
And thank you Style Me Pretty for featuring more of our work. It is always an honor to be on your incredible website.
I went to grammer school with Somer in Germany and it is so wonderful to see her all grown up. Congrats to you both! Lovely couple!
Beautiful wedding, blessings to the happy couple. I live in Humboldt county (yes, it's spelled Humboldt) the weather is always unpredictable here, but it sounds like Somer and Andy were well prepared. Love the gathered bottle centerpieces.
The wedding is beautiful!
Just in case someone is looking for Humbolt there is a misspelling, it is Humboldt (county)
What an incredibly beautiful wedding! Great photography as well. I love the ferns! So magazine worthy!
how beautiful! looking like a Grecian goddess!
I live in Arcata, CA in beautiful Humboldt county. As much as I want to get married here, I am so nervous about how the weather will be! It really is unpredictable, even in the height of summer. It's great to see such a gorgeous wedding from my area! I love the jars of flowers hanging from the hooks. Rustic and elegant at the same time. And the bridesmaid's dresses are to die for!
Like Kenya, I was in school with Somer in Germany. It is simply a blessing to see her all these years later grown into an inspiring woman, who is not only making a difference in our World, but who has such love to share with her husband and others. Thank you, Somer, for staying true to you!! And Congratulations on your Beautiful Wedding & Marriage!!!
