Katherine and Dimitri's engagement photos were shot in Napa Valley. |
Katherine and
Dimitri were married in October 2005 in San Francisco.
Of the 360 invited guests
315 attended this big Russian wedding. Today Dimitri is continuing his job as a
teacher and wrestling coach, while Katherine will go back to school for her
nursing degree.
Katherine loves event planning. As soon as the couple got engaged she began
booking event professionals. She did all the planning herself. While she had a
specific theme in mind, she took advantage of the creativity and experience
of the professionals. Each month she confirmed all the details with the
professionals via email. On the day of the wedding each event professional and
wedding party member had an exact timeline of the day's events. Dimitri helped
his fiancée by taking the groomsmen under his wings.
What would they have done different?
Katherine recommends that the bride and groom discuss the budget details with their parents. In retrospect she might have
invited only those friends, with whom she had been in touch for the past two years. One small mishap
occurred. The Conservatory of Flowers, which they had chosen as the background
for their formal portraits, was in the process of replanting their flowers at
the time of the photo shoot, so they had to
find a different location.
Everything else went perfectly. Katherine had planned the wedding so well that she could
enjoy it to the fullest.
