Wedding at the Villa del Sol d'Oro in Sierra Madre: Tara and Pablo

The wedding of Pablo and Tara was very cozy and fun. They wanted their wedding to have the feeling of a villa in Italy. Well, they did! They chose the most beautiful Villa del Sol d’Oro in Sierra Madre. What a place! I absolutely fell in love with it. The Alverno Villa (Villa del Sol) is a duplicate of the Villa Collazzi located on the outskirts of Florence Italy. Villa Collazzi has been occupied for several centuries by the Bombicci Fomi family, and legend has it that the Villa is the only one ever designed by the immortal Michelangelo. The Villa del Sol d’Oro is one quarter scale of the original. I really wanted to stay there and make it as my own home. Tara and Pablo chose to see each other before the ceremony, so I was able to take special time to photograph them alone. Then family and friends. After we where done with the portraits, it was time to get married!. When it was time to say their vows to each other (I cried!!) it was a very touching moment and everyone got to experience the love that they feel for each other. Thanks to all of the family members how flew from Argentina, Canada and all over the world to be at the Villa del Sol d’Oro to celebrate the marriage of Tara and Pablo.

A Match made in Cyberspace

I had such a hard time getting images for this blog, but was finally able to choose some of my favorites.
Joe and Rian met on Match.com. If you are not familiar with this dating service, you should check it out.
When they told me how they met, I was so happy! It is one of those great love stories that you want to tell your grandkids. Joe is from Boston and loves the Celtics. He works as a sports writer for the Ventura County Star, which is a great newspaper. Rian is one of the most put together brides- to –be. She has a skill that I just love, she is very organized. She works as an intern in marriage and family therapy. What a lovely career. Together they have a beautiful doggie named Minnie. She is the only grandchild of Nancy, Rian’s mom. That afternoon, we drove to Los Robles and hiked to where Joe proposed to Rian. It was a great place to hike. Then together we all drove to Ventura and walked around downtown. They are celebrating their marriage at the San Buena Ventura Mission and the reception will take place at the Crown Plaza, in Ventura. I want to especially thank Nancy for helping me with the reflector. You totally rock!
