I Have a New Blog

I now have a new blog, come  follow me on Tumblr: http://aurorameneghello.tumblr.com/.
I hope this move will help me blog once a week or even more often!

Happy Holidays!

New Logo!

I am unveiling a new logo today, right here on my blog. In the next few weeks, expect to see a new website, a new line of fine art family and baby portraits and a new wedding portfolio.

Aurora Meneghello Productions is growing!

Here's my new logo, thanks to Lavender Ink:

 

I took inspiration from a Calla Lily, one of my favorite flowers.

I am looking forward to sharing all the upcoming changes with you in the days to come!

Mitch and Molly: San Francisco Engagement Photos

Congratulations Mitch and Molly, we are so close to your wedding in Sonoma! I am counting the days until I get to photograph you again.

I loved our engagement photo session together: Mitch is passionate about photography and we collaborated in choosing the locations for this shoot. As I said before on this blog, I LOVE working with couples who have a special love for visual storytelling and art.

 Mitch and Molly are lucky to be working with a great wedding planner, Lily Castro, who came along for support and to take care of their daughter Aislinn, so she could be in our photos too. This was so much fun!

And we ended our afternoon together waiting for the right time to take pictures at the Embarcadero. Timing is everything in photography! These are my favorite images from our shoot together.

A special shout out to the fabulous Angela LaFlamme for Molly's make up.

Leah and Justin's Beautiful Napa Wedding Part Three

Here's the last part of Leah and Justin's Wedding and we are picking up from where we left off. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed wonderful refreshments and I took pictures of Leah and Justin with their families.

And as the evening proceeded, people moved inside for dinner and cake cutting.

 This was my first time photographing a cake cutting done with a sword. Cool!

And here's the first dance. We could see some many stars that night.

It takes a village...here are the wonderful people who made this happen:

Photography by Aurora Meneghello Productions, of course, with the help of the fantastic Hardy Wilson.

It is always a pleasure to work with my Locally Grown Weddings Team:

Leah and Justin's Beautiful Napa Wedding - Part Two

Welcome to Part Two of Leah and Justin's Wedding. Here are some of my favorite images from right before the ceremony.

 

Everything is ready for the guests to arrive...

...while Leah get all the love and support she needs from her mom and bridesmaids.

Outside guests start to arrive. It's almost 6 pm and the light is gorgeous!

And here's the ceremony.

One last kiss from father to daughter.

And here are Mr and Mrs. Hills!

More pictures to come during the week, as we relive and celebrate this wonderful wedding. Congratulations, Leah and Justin!
