Esther & Daniel
Last year I planned a lovely December wedding for a very sweet couple, Esther and Daniel. Although we had more than 3+ months to plan, aside from choosing the venue, this wedding did not get planned until 2 weeks prior to the big day! The photos below are pages from their wedding album.
- Michael Acosta was the brilliant makeup artist behind Esther’s look. His work has been displayed on the faces of countless beautiful women including Candace Bushnell!
- True to Kenyan tradition, Esther was the center of a Processional prior to the ceremony where family and friends sang and danced all around her.
- All of the men were so handsome. I especially love the photo of Daniel with both fathers.
- Esther arriving at the fabulous Deer Ridge Vineyards in the Livermore Valley Wine Country.
- The spiritual ceremony took place in the Barrel Room. During the Recessional, the newlyweds and their attendants rejoiced as they proceeded down the aisle.
- Esther & Daniel with their attendants relaxing post Ceremony at the Vineyard’s private cottage.
- Such a gorgeous shot of the gown and its details.
- (LEFT) Photos of all the fine details. (RIGHT) Don’t see any women? That’s because Kenyan women encircle the bride and groom to escort them to their reception in the midst of more singing and dancing!
- Each set of parents traveled from Kenya with these gifts intended to help the bride and groom properly start their lives as newlyweds.
- First Dance
- Cutting the cake was the first time Esther & Daniel saw this tasty creation by City of d’Lights.
- We did!
