I was fortunate enough to photograph a "super foodie" wedding last week. When the French-trained chef at the Four Seasons hotel marries a chef from the ShangriLa hotel - where do they choose to go for dinner?
They go to RubyWatchco and have Lynn Crawford cook dinner for them and 14 of their closest friends.

This was one of those super rare weddings that didn’t come from a personal referral (as far as I know, and I asked a few times). We met in a coffee shop in the spring and had one of the most casual meetings, ever. They told me it was going to be a small ceremony, reception at the Barber House (where I had been once before as a wedding guest and was asked why I didn’t bring my ©kmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12673879732345366828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921065225474217018.post-36964358569822587252012-08-29T14:18:00.000-04:002014-12-18T16:54:11.525-05:00Melissa and Tanya - 22 October 2011The year of weddings of people I know ended with Melissa and Tanya. I've known Melissa for about 3 years and first met Tanya during their engagement session a year prior where we dodged a wedding couple with the photo permit and got our photos done on the other side of the same barn. They were quick and they brought their own props, I like that.
