Martha Stewart Weddings, Carlie & Gabe Vow Renewal

Last month, I had the total honor of seeing Carlie & Gabe’s intimate vow renewal in the Spring Issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine. Their full story and details are also featured on the Martha Stewart Weddings Blog. So many great people were involved in making this day visually stunning. However, the love this family has for one another is just so pure and genuine the beauty of this day really was all about these four. After 10 years of marriage, Carlie & Gabe wanted to celebrate and renew their vows with their kids, how sweet is that? I loved being able to photograph this day and share in such a special day.

Featured! Martha Stewart Weddings // Vanessa & Joe, Carneros Inn

Vanessa and Joe are living the new american dream….two foodie entrepreneurs carving out a whole new industry right here in the bay area. Their story is not only inspiring but absolutely so much fun! Joe and Vanessa’s passion for food lead them to start Goldbely, a pretty rad concierge food service site that delivers some of the best foods (and desserts!) from all over the country right to your door. Of course, when it came time to plan their wedding, food was going to play a central role in all the details! Check out all their yummy food details here from their custom cookies, giant Momofuku cake, rice crispies and fried chicken. Martha Stewart Weddings did a fantastic job sharing their story and divulging even more details from their day, so be sure to check out their feature! Can we talk about Vanessa’s style for a quick second? Im pretty sure she wins for my favorite bridal style of the year. Vera Wang + Valentino and all that rad jewelry? I was in heaven, photographing a girl with style after my own heart. The wedding was unique from start to finish….from their morning ceremony, a musical march to the reception (so fun!!) and a picnic style lunch that did not disappoint. A big thanks to Martha Stewart Weddings for falling in love with Vanessa and Joe as much as I did!

The year that changed it all.

This year has been the most life changing year of them all. From my personal family life to my business and career, 2013 proved to be the year that changed it all. I feel like I could write a novel about all the different things that happened this year and all the friendships that have really shaped and blessed me. Words can’t do that any justice — I’m just so thankful to God for blessing me with such a solid community and friends who encourage and challenge me artistically and spritually. It’s funny how things work out and how we have no idea where our lives will take us but this year really felt like everything in my life just clicked. Our photography business grew so much this year…for one thing we brought on Becky who has been so incredible and supportive! We reached some major goals like getting published in Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine — which is nothing short of a dream come true. We had the best season working with the most special clients and vendors. Seriously, our clients make me love my job so much and I feel so blessed to be able to photograph some of the most important events in their lives. I can’t thank you all enough for the support, friendship and love!

On a more personal note, I turned 30 this year and you know they say…for a woman, that’s a big turning point and it really has been. I feel like I’ve come into my own and becoming a mom was something that blew me away. I was mentally prepared for it, excited and ready but what surprised me the most was the love I have for this little doll of a daughter. In April, Delara was born — and instantly our lives became richer and our priorities shifted. I became a mother. A mother to one of the sweetest, happiest babies I’ve ever come across. She couldn’t be more of a blessing to us. I can easily say, that Delara has been the biggest and best thing that happened to us in 2013 — and that’s saying a lot because this year has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all our friends, clients, vendors and family who have walked along side us this year, supported, encouraged and laughed with us along the way. Your presence in our lives truly make us feel so much joy. We can’t wait to see what 2014 has for us! Cheers friends! Here’s to another exciting and life changing year…2014 we’re coming for you.

Our family photography was done by our good friends Encarnacion Photography

001__001_delbarrmoradiphotography_Martha-Stewart_AnnaTim_Costonoa-Wedding_0005

Oh I am so happy to finally get to share this wedding! I am so so thrilled to see it featured on the cover of the November issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine too! Can we say dream come true? Yes. It truly is such a sweet reward on top of being a part of Anna & Tim’s day, to see it grace the pages of the ultimate wedding mag. To say this wedding is near and dear to my heart is an understatement and I have been anxious to share it. It was a gorgeous day from beginning to end — with a team of incredibly talented vendors who came together to create a memorable day. Anna and Tim, although from the East Coast, chose Costanoa as their wedding destination and family from near and far gathered together for a weekend full of celebration. We had the best time exploring and shooting in the sand dunes overlooking the gorgeous views. The outdoor setting really captured the warmth of love that connected everyone together. Anna and Tim are two of the sweetest people you will meet, it truly was a joy to photograph and share this day with these two. You can also see more from their wedding on Ruffled!

Martha Stewart Weddings Cover & Feature, November Special Issue

This is a special day, today marks a milestone, a goal reached, a dream manifested…my heart is overflowing with gratitude to the people who have taught me, encouraged me and have worked along side me over these last 5 years. Words can’t describe how excited I feel to not only see Anna & Tim’s wedding featured inside the November Special Issue of Martha Stewart Weddings but to also see my photograph on the cover!? It truly is a happy day…I’m still pinching myself over here. Five years ago, when I decided to photograph weddings, I had written down my goals for what I wanted to achieve as a photographer in the wedding industry. At the top of my list was to get published in Martha Stewart Weddings, a goal that at the time seemed so so far away. Now, to see this day arrive is the most affirming feeling I’ve had yet. You will probably see me smiling from ear to ear for a long time! I truly love what I do and feel so blessed to be able to do it for a living; I’ve found what makes me come alive. This business has been a labor of love, one of true passion, jumping in head first years ago and learning so much about running my own creative business from scratch — and never giving up. This feature, to me, means so much more than a cover of a magazine. It represents dedication perseverance and more importantly, it represents all the talent that I’ve been blessed to work with including the ever so talented Enjoy Events Co and Shotgun Floral who is featured here in the mag too. To me this feature represents every single couple who trusted me artistcally and allowed me to share their day with them. It represents the vendors and teachers in the industry who I have worked with and learned from, pushing me and inspiring me creatively every time. And most importantly, it represents the unending support from my husband and family and friends who have encouraged me with unconditional support. It felt like just yesterday when I decided to leave my graphic design job in SF to pursue this crazy photography dream. For any dreamer, for any risk taker, or any creative business owner pursuing what they are passionate about, I say never give up and just keep your head down and work at what you love. You’ll be rewarded in so many inexplicable ways and just maybe, you’ll reach those bigger-than-ever milestones before you know it! Cheers all around!
