A California Artist’s Wedding

Kellie And Alex

Kellie is a painter and I think my favorite thing about this wedding (other than her smile!) is that she made her wedding decor very personal by incorporating her paintings as table decor and favors…isn’t that great? Congratulations, Kellie and Alex, we wish you all the best!

Photography by Gia Canali, LA & SF

Bride’s Gown: Claire Pettibone

Venue: Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club, Mill Valley

Coordinator: Jennifer Janzen of MAP Events, San Francisco

Oh my, how did they get those dreamy blurry photos? I’m becoming interested in the whole ‘toy camera’ thing and this sort of reminds me of things I’ve seen.

Beautiful! Wow, actually this color palette is very similar to mine, as well as the bird theme. AND I’m wearing a Claire Pettibone!

Can I purchase prints of these paintings, they are great!

Let me ask Kelly who the shoe designer was. Those shoes were amazing! Also, Kellie doesn’t keep a website right now, but she does have a blog that shows some of her painting work: http://www.kelliecharlton.blogspot.com/
