Promises and Pearls 2008

A few days ago, we had the privilege of photographing Promises and Pearls, a bridal soiree, co-created by Michelle Barrionuevo-Mazzini of MB Wedding Design and Events and Beverly Yip of Especially Yours Chair Covers at the San Francisco Design Center.

This is part of one of the showcase tables Michelle designed:

Michelle’s beach-themed table:

I was especially drawn to this showcase table. It was a black and white theme loaded with fresh, spring greenery. The florals for this table were done by Leah Gagne and Rafael Campos at Spiral Hand Floral and Event Design.

This is my lovely husband, Jung, presenting our family portrait session to the lucky raffle winner along with Michelle and Beverly.

The showcase tables were a collaboration between Michelle of MB Wedding Design & Events, Leah Gagne and Rafael Campos of Spiral Hand Floral and Event Design, Hartmann Studios (who provided the rentals, draping and accessories), Impact Lighting through Hartmann Studios, Marizette Paperie and Beau Coup Favors.
