Janet & Rick - Sanborn Park: Saratoga, CA

Janet and Rick are one of the gentlest, most loving couples I know.  They found their perfect wedding location within a circle of tall trees at Sanborn Park located in the hills of Saratoga.  A small intimate gathering, the couple declared their intentions on a sun dappled afternoon.  This wedding had a special challenge as the groom has a severe back injury and cannot sit or stand for lengthy periods of time.  The couple incorporated a massage table into their plans so that the groom could be as comfortable as possible.  He did, however, make a point to stand with his bride during the receipt of the water blessings and the exchanging of vows and rings. 

Some of my favorite things:

1. The bride's dress!  It's truly stunning and unique, and suited her beautifully! 
2. The stolen moments where no one else existed but Janet and Rick looking at each other.
3. The antique dishes and silverware used during dinner.  Every dish and utensil at every place setting was part of either the bride's or the groom's family's antique dishware: grandmothers and great grandmothers.  A very, very special and intimate detail to make dinner just a little more personal for everyone there.
