Paul + Eliav | Mad Men in Napa | Cole Drake Events

brianamarie — Thu, 06 Oct 2016 17:39:23 +0000

This wedding was incredible…I don’t even know where to begin. From an amazing start of a board game invitation suite by Ceci New York to every single detail thoughtfully planned by Stephanie of Cole Drake Events. These two dapper men had the idea of Mad Men in Napa and all of the vendors took the fantastic idea and ran with it! Their guests were treated to a bruch with Tre Postri, Wine Blending at Franciscan, Cooking school at CIA, an over the top wedding at Calistoga Ranch and a champagne tour and brunch at Domaine Chandon. But the most memorable part of this weekend but not just the exceptional events that were planned but the love and respect that these two men had for each other and their friends & family. I was touched many times throughout the weekend by the sweetness, thoughtfulness and gentle humor that they shared. It was a gift to work with them!

Everyone worked tirelessly on this wedding to make these two gentleman’s dream come true! It was an awesome sight to see!

{ Kathy + John } Beaulieu Gardens | Napa Valley Wedding Photography

brianamarie — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:41:35 +0000

Beaulieu gardens is a dream to photograph.

Kathy & John’s Ketubah was intricately hand painted…a work of art.

The couples adorable son donned an adorable tux matching Dad.

Paula le Duc never fails to make tasty bites that are not only delicious but beautiful!

Julie Stevens Florals built a beautiful manzanita Chuppah woven with orchids. After the ceremony, guests wrote their wishes for the family and attached the notes to the Chuppah.

I love a couple that really enjoys their first dance! Kathy & John’s dance combined beautiful ballroom with a sassy swing set.

On this warm summer night guests wandered into the vineyard and enjoyed dipping their toes into the pool.

Guests enjoyed a gorgeous sweet table.

A special thanks to all of the professionals who came together to make Kathy & John’s day memorable!
