Married // Andrea & Summer

I’ll never forget meeting Summer and Andrea. We were all at a wrap party for the latest Star Trek movie, thanks to good friends who worked on the film, and their positive energy was instantly contagious. Summer had graduated from law school that very day, and they quickly began telling me how they met and fell in love. Summer spotted Andrea years ago and insisted that if Andi was ever interested, she would drop everything to be with this woman. Fast forward a few years, and Andrea was definitely interested…and Summer stayed true to her word. We talked for a long time, and it came up that I photograph weddings. They proclaimed, “We found our wedding photographer!!” and then asked, “Wait, what’s your sign?” I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to be a Gemini!

These two have such boundless love. They show one another immense consideration and care, and they know that they are the luckiest people in the world because they’re with the other person. Summer is vivacious and energetic, and Andi is gentle and sweet – together they are a perfect balance. Their wedding took place at Summer’s father’s home in Mendocino, CA. This day was so beautiful, so intimate, and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of it.


Cue the karaoke!
When the brides tell you to sing karaoke, you sing karaoke!
I truly did not want to leave Mendocino. It’s one of the most incredible places I’ve ever been! Thankfully Summer and Andrea put together this awesome gift bag as a wonderful reminder of the weekend.
 A huge congrats to Summer and Andi – they made their marriage official in New York on the way to their honeymoon in Barcelona! Wishing them all the joy in the world!
