Love at first sight– as soon as I saw this crazy oak, I was done.  And as if I could not admire this graceful and funky tree more (and this sweet, gracious couple), I am happy that this photo was selected for this year’s PDN magazine’s Top Knots contest in the Portraits section!

This photo was taken in Carmel Valley for Katie & Dan’s destination wedding at Holman Ranch.    The Top Knots contest is printed and online in PDN’s Wedding Issue (May issue).  Congratulations to all the winners — great work!

JB: She’s Your Girl, Too!

March 14th, 2012

Julie.asociate.2 640x481 JB: Shes Your Girl, Too!

It seems like the best time to let you in, more formally (but not too formally, ahem), on this fine matter at hand seeing as the wedding blog, Style Me Pretty, is sharing a destination wedding in beautiful blue Tahoe today photographed by none other than…Julie Bullock!

Julie, or JB, as I’m apt to call her fondly, is Kate Webber Photography’s super-slammin’ (sorry to be so technical here, folks) ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHER!  In case you’ve missed mentions of Julie on our KWP Facebook page or here on the blog, I want to take this long overdue moment to tell you a little something about this lovely lady and friend o’ mine.

KWP.012 jb gallery 640x426 JB: Shes Your Girl, Too!

Aside from being a beautifully artistic, creative soul, Julie is also a seasoned world traveler, lover of vibrant colors and skilled storyteller with a great laugh.

Julie and I met at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara many ages ago.  I think she had blue hair at the time and since I can’t quite say for certain we’ll just let that slide.  We’ve cruised together back and forth from San Francisco to Napa and Sonoma too many times to count; we’ve taken destination trips for shoots up to the cool mountains of Washington and down to beaches in the tropics; we’ve listened to possibly thousands of hours of  iTunes and Pandora in the office together and occasionally she tries to teach me some more guitar skills over a sip or two of small batch bourbon which we share an affection for.

To see a bit of her wedding work, head over to the KWP Weddings site and be in touch to learn more and get her keen eye(s) shooting your event!

xo, Kate

Destination Wedding in Moorea – 3

March 6th, 2012

Wedding Day.

59 moorea.katewebber 640x426 Destination Wedding in Moorea   3

The wedding day was an elegant but relaxed afternoon and evening held at Legends Resort which is a small resort of villas nestled into the mountainside overlooking the beautiful blue expanse.  Local musicians set the tone while a Tahitian priest married the couple in an intimate ceremony, complete with a rainbow making an appearance just after the completion of the vows.  Guests enjoyed a 5-course gourmet dinner in the property’s Villa des Sens and, in the Swedish tradition, there were lots of toasts (each humorously introduced in a multitude of languages by the groom’s brother).  Manuía!

Destination Wedding in Moorea – 2

On the second day, guests were taken by boat to swim with huge rays and then soak in some relaxation on a nearby motu.  While there, they snorkeled, listened to more local musicians, were taught how to make a local favorite, poisson cru, and how best to break down a coconut.

Destination Wedding in Moorea – 1

February 10th, 2012

Dear Moorea, I love you.  Yes, yes I do.

In fact, I love a lot of what I saw and experienced on several of French Polynesia’s volcanic Society Islands.  How could you not?  I hope the photos are worth all the words I would otherwise (and inadequately) insert into this post to describe the deep beauty of these islands and this culture.
