Before we get to the stunning reception, I wanted to share these images that Lauri shot that I fell head over heels in love with for their simplicity, their beauty, their perfection really!
A few more little tidbits and details from the bride...
The wedding took place at a winery on Waiheke Island (a 30-min ferry ride from downtown Auckland in NZ). The property has the most spectaculars views and extensive...
Anna and James wanted a ceremony that was not only a celebration of their love but also a celebration of the friends and family that have grown to mean so much to them. I love the casual, but completely intimate feel of the ceremony and the pure love that is radiating out of this gorgeous bride and groom...
From the gorgeous bride...At our ceremony, a reading was performed by 13-year-old Eliza Wheeler, the daughter of our dear friends Halstead and Faith Wheeler of San Francisco...
My favorite weddings are the ones where you can actually see the joy. You can feel it when you look at the pictures, you can imagine it within every corner of the affair. This one is just that. Pure and utter joy...filled with so much style and grace I can hardly contain myself.
Here is what the bride had to say about our own Little Black Book photography...

From Anna, the amazingly lovely bride...
Waiheke Island is a magical place, only a 30-minute ferry ride from Auckland, populated with just fewer than 8,000 permanent residents, and the home to more than 30 vineyards – Truly Wine Island! Anna always knew she wanted to marry on Waiheke Island and it was important to both of us that all...
Love, love, love when a bride and groom see each other for the first time. I am and always will be a hopeless romantic so this moment completely tugs at the heart strings...

We are FINALLY back to work, after spending two days in the Charlotte airport because of a cancelled flight. But, the wedding in Charleston more than made up for the hassle, as my sister-in-law put together a pretty incredible, almost completely handmade affair. Can't wait to show it off when the pics come in!
We have the most spectacular wedding to share with you today. Lauri Levenfeld of Zoom Photography in San Francisco...

The wedding planning pretty much began on our drive back from Asheville.
I heart these cashmere wraps by White and Warren. With the elegant, completely feminine ruffles, it's the PERFECT compliment to a wedding gown. A little bit fancy, a little bit organic and simple, I am totally in love. White and Warren has lots of cute options but this is by far my...
Today is a day that I have been looking forward to for SO long.

I love the white palette of this wedding. The pops of bright pink are stunning against the simple, clean background. They bring warmth without taking away from the contemporary raw style of the building.
And as the party began, the glow and intimacy added even more style to the gorgeous affair....
I told you that Karen Wise was genius. Wait until you see the...
