MacArthur Place Inn and Spa was the destination for Colette and Brian’s elopement ceremony in Sonoma Valley. This is such a unique place for a wedding; every time we photograph there it seems we find something different and beautiful to photograph.

As this was a late afternoon ceremony, we made plans to do a majority of their photos pre-ceremony while there was still available daylight. Here is a beautiful silhouette of Colette, followed by a portrait.


Colette’s shoes shown by some colorful art work I really liked in their suite.

A portrait of Brian.

The gardens at MacArthur place provide an abundance of opportunity for creating beautiful photos.





The ceremony took place at the Koi Pond and was performed by Peadar Dalton of Your Ceremony Matters.

They stood in front of a wrought iron arch trellis that had fresh greenery, white hydrangeas and other delicate white flowers. Each side of the trellis had a column with two beautiful white arrangements on them and a carpet of flower petals beneath their feet. Flowers by Josette Brose-Eichar at Lavender Country Garden Florals.



They celebrated with champagne and cake in the Tack I room.

The room had beautiful ambience with a cozy fire in the fireplace.

A couple of parting shots.


Wishing you all the best!
