Alisa + John in Woodside, CA

Arriving at Alisa and John's wedding at Alisa's father's estate in Woodside, CA was like walking into a painted world of green trees and colorful flowers - a far cry from the third world countries where these two met while doing missionary work.  The beauty of the house, lake and surrounding woods was so bright and full of life it was the perfect place for this incredibly cheerful couple to tie the knot.

Alisa and John wanted to make sure that their friends and family had a great time so they had lots of activities for all of their guests: a square dance lesson, bocce ball, croquet, ping pong, archery, foosball, and canoeing.  It was the perfect summer soiree, made beautiful by Alisa's talented mother who crafted so many of the details.  This woman is seriously talented, and we just loved photographing all of her gorgeous creations including the crepe paper bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, all of the table decorations (which were also crepe paper floral arrangements), the lace overlays that went on each table, Alisa's purse, embroidered signs for drinks and desserts, crepe paper flowers to decorate the cake... the list goes on!
