Montecito Country Club

Mendy Meeks and Stuart Stoll
Friday September 21st
2007

Mendy and Dr. Stuart were married Friday before last.

The wedding was at the historic Montecito Country Club - what a great place to get married! Nestled into the mountains above the Santa Barbara coast. I guess it must also be pretty good for golf because Bill Clinton and the secret service were playing the day before.

Mendy and Dr. Stuart are such talented and generous people. They have style, taste and a wonderful grace about them. We were honored to be selected to photograph their amazing wedding and so pleased that they found the time to celebrate with us at our own wedding. They have become more than just clients - we call them friends.

The Country Club provided the extraordinary wedding coordinator - Annie Napier. She took care of everything including the bonsai tree favors, 100 living butterfly's, and pouring rain that showed up an hour before the outdoor ceremony. She has a great personality and is more than accommodating but most of all she is totally competent. She ran that show with precision and never seemed to be out of step. I would trust her with my mother.



The dress was magnificent! Debbie Milisci, the Bridal Salon Manager at the Costa Mesa Saks Fifth Avenue was so knowledgeable and kind. She is another great Mendy find.



Mendy's mom Samantha gave a gift of sentimental toys from childhood. She then sat back wiping away the tears of joy. I love this picture.



The fellas.



Check out Stuarts' ring. It's made like a watch band. I love it!












Right out of a romance novel!



Beautiful Bride.
