I’m at a loss for words when trying to describe the beautiful wedding day of Juli and Conor, there is just no way of describing what I felt while I was documenting their special day. All I can truly say is that I fell in love with love all over again.
I had never met these two in person before their wedding day (which is actually pretty common since I do my fiar share of destination weddings where the couple is traveling from out of state/town) and didn’t quite know what to expect. I knew that the celebration was to be an intimate one with immediate family only and that Juli and Conor seemed like they loved my work. That was a good start.
What I wasn’t prepared for was the closeness, the emotion, the pure love that was displayed by both families before, during and after the ceremony. It was simply a breath of fresh air. Every word had meaning and every person was seemingly so thrilled for Juli and Conor. It was inspiring to say the least. Having worked a wedding at Anderson Ranch in Kenwood, CA before I knew that the light would be gorgeous to photograph in after the ceremony. It didn’t disappoint and I’m so happy we had a chance to make some photos together. I’m looking forward to more small, intimate weddings this year and next. It was a pleasure once again to work beside Lovespun Films who did an incredible job with the cinema from this wedding. Of course, the cuisine from Ramekins Sonoma was superb.
If you haven’t had a chance to and you like to see sneak-peaks before they ever make it to the blog, make sure to check out my Facebook page and like it (I wish there was a love button). Enjoy.

Just a couple of snaps of my two oldest munchkins who make me smile everyday.

I cannot even begin to describe the inner-beauty of these two. I’ve talked before about clients that just make you want to do your best work and really bring something extra out of you, well, they’re it! Their wedding at Ruby Hill Golf and Country Club in Pleasanton, CA was over the top. I was so blown away that I just had to share at least one photo to give them a little sneak peak while they honeymoon. I hope you two are having a blast, the wedding was radical. Enjoy.

I’ve been dying to photograph a wedding with one of my favorite cameras that I don’t get to use that often, the Fuji GF670 and I thought shooting this beautiful wedding with my good friend Zach Anderson would be prime. I love the square format and feel that it challenges my composition. I was also able to slip in a roll of 20 year old Kodak Vericolor 100 film that produced some stunning results, the tones were just gorgeous. I’m in love with the results and absolutely in love with the wedding of this beautiful couple.
Auberge du Soleil is such a classic wine country venue. The feeling is exclusive yet relaxed, the vibe is luxe yet comfortable. For a smaller crowd or a destination wedding, Auberge is a top pick in the Napa Valley wine country region. On to the photographs, I hope you enjoy.

…it’s more about the actual journey than the destination sometimes. Besides, usually when I get to my destination I’m ready to get out and explore. Enjoy.
