Wedding Brain

Shana at Doomed for Happiness said it best when describing the wedding brain:

Wedding Brain

noun / [ˈwe-diŋ ˈbrān]

: a disorder that effects the the cerebral cortex causing anxiety, stress, procrastination and the inability to stay focused... Ooohh I wonder if Etsy has any vintage brooches from 1950?

 

Anyone else feeling this way about preparations for their upcoming wedding? :)

Alice and Dai

It's (almost) mid-July, and J. Jasper Events in in full summer-wedding mode! Right now I'm so excited to share the engagement photos of Alice and Dai, who are getting married at The Gardens at Heather Farm later this month. These are shot by Allison Andres, an amazing photographer (who is also from Vallejo!) Check out the full post here - aren't these pics beautiful?

Backdrops

A backdrop is a great way to add some color and fun to any plain old cermony. Here are a few that I've been dying to recreate! Which one is your favorite?

Beautiful table setting

The tables and the view were amazing!

I can't wait to see the "real" pictures from Jessamyn Harris soon! Stay tuned!

Becca & Evan

This past weekend I got to work with Rebecca and Evan on their beautiful wedding at the Lake Merritt Sail Boat House. The skies were blue, the air was warm, and everyone was in great spirits! It really was a perfect day.

Sweet backdrop!

Paul & Erin - and the Chairman!

Over Memorial Day weekend, J. Jasper helped Erin and Paul host a fun reception/party at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland in celebration of their August 2011 marriage. Here's a great shot of them on their wedding day (their intimate ceremony was held on a bluff in Point Reyes):

I didn't manage to get ANY photos that day, as I was running around making sure everything was perfect. However, someone did sneak a photo of the Chairman Bao truck (which provided the amazing food!)

More photos to come!!
