Ingredients for a unique and unforgettable celebration: a beautiful handmade dress, vintage shoes,  a 1930’s typewriter guestbook,  travel themed table settings, sushi cocktail hour, live performances by 2 talented and quirky bands, an intimate dinner at sunset, a variety of fabulous desserts, a flash dance mob, farm animals, a strong man piñata, vintage games, a photo booth complete with costumes,  and dancing under the stars…

I can only begin to describe the amazing day that was Peter + Amanda’s wedding!   I hope that my images convey even just a fraction of the emotion, fun, whimsy, love, and thought that was put into this sweet event, because I can’t seem to put it into words.  You just had to be there, and if you were, I know that it was a day that you won’t soon forget. ♥

Congrats to Peter and Amanda!!!

  • Amanda + Peter’s Vintage-Cinematic Wedding « The Temecula Farmhouse - […] Amanda + Peter’s Vintage-Cinematic Wedding Posted on April 29 by The Farmhand What happens when you take a couple with vintage style, unique taste, and cinematic flair? A whimsical wedding of course! Not only are Amanda and Peter a beautiful, genuine couple, they also have an eye for really great design. They began by creating an atmosphere that not only honored their eclectic style, but was also fun for their guests. Their wedding planner Francine was phenomenal as well as their photographer Kim Hayes. But enough of my yammering… time for the eyecandy! Amanda, the beautiful bride. Look at this wedding dress. Gorgeous! Love the picture on the left! Here comes the bride… Instead of a guest book, friends and family typed their well-wishes on a vintage typewriter. The Kiss No birdseed for these two. Guests threw popcorn as they made their way back down the isle. The new Mr. & Mrs. The tables All images courtesy of Kim Hayes Photography. To see more of Amanda + Peter’s wedding click here. […]

My Friend Matt Larson came up with an awesome idea to help Japan; a silent art auction, with all of the proceeds going to the Red Cross!  The silent auction goes all month, so if you can’t make it opening night you have another 30 days to stop by and make a bid. There are 33 original works of art that have been donated! I donated a framed print of “Second Beach” for the auction:

“Join us for an art auction featuring over 18 artists from Seattle, Vienna, Austin, Brooklyn, San Francisco, and Oklahoma. All work by these amazing and dynamic artists and photographers has been donated and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross for Japan. The silent auction will last for a whole month beginning and ending on the night of the Capitol Hill art walk. If you’ve been watching the dire situation and have been trying to figure out a way to help, why not make a donation and end up with a piece of original art in the process? Opening and closing nights will feature all night happy hour as well. Hope to see you there!”
