Real Wedding: Kimberly & Tom

When Tom and Kimberly attended a wedding at a friend's home in Healdsburg, California, they absolutely fell in love with a giant oak tree on the property. Just one of the reasons they chose to have their own wedding there...




Kimberly wore her mother's Priscilla of Boston dress from 1967, that she had altered and updated by Suzanne Hanley at Atelier des Modistes. Because of the uneven ground, she opted for shoes with wedge heels.


The couple's friend officiated.




Photographer Gia Canali used some really fun cameras at Tom and Kimberly's wedding: "I first met Tom and Kimberly in 2007 when we were all in Beijing for a wedding. We hit it off talking about cameras - Tom has the most enviable collection of antique and unique cameras one could ever want. So when they got engaged and hired me to be their wedding photographer, I was, of course, totally thrilled, and started planning to incorporate a bunch of my antique cameras into the photography of their wedding day."


100 guests sat together at one long table, winding among the trees, and enjoyed a meal of seasonal, locally-grown ingredients (including a pig roast!), catered by Outstanding in the Field (that's right - they cater!).













Venue: private home in Healdsburg, CA

Bride's dress / shoes: vintage Priscilla of Boston updated by Atelier des Modistes / Bottega Veneta

Bridesmaid dresses: Cari Borja

Flowers: Dragonfly Floral

Catering: Outstanding in the Field

Music: Green String Farm Band

Lighting: Twilight Design

Coordination: Off the Beaten Path Weddings

Congratulations Tom and Kimberly! And thank you to the sweet and talented Gia Canali for sending over these gorgeous photos.

What a stunning stunning wedding!! I love that the bride wore her mother's dress, you don't see that very often anymore. Whenever I see these amazing outdoor weddings, I wonder what their "plan b" in case of rain was....or do they just live in places where it doesn't rain often?

The long winding table under the trees is so perfect! A very romantic setting for your guests! Surely your guests felt very honored to eat in such beautiful surroundings and that you planned it that way!

Off the Beaten Path here...we enjoyed this wedding so much and to answer the rain question...we are lucky in California...we have a rainy season and a dry season, so do not have to worry too much about rain. I truly enjoyed producing this wedding and thank you to Snippet & Ink for featuring it!

I can't believe someone is lucky enough to live on a property with that beautiful oak tree! I can imagine that the beautiful branches would cast incredible shadows at sunset over the beautiful grounds. What a picturesque setting for a wedding!
