Their destination wedding in Napa Valley was at Harvest Inn in St. Helena.



They were married on the Vin Rose lawn; here they listen intently to the ceremony officiated by Rev. Blane Ellsworth of Wedding Ministries.

Two of their friends attended their ceremony, which had it’s serious and light-hearted moments as shown here.

Holding hands during the ceremony.

This is just before the ring exchange — their friend presented the rings and the groom tried to pick them up before it was time to, at which point Rev. Ellsworth gave the groom a light tap on the hand. Here are their reactions.

Upon their pronouncement of being husband and wife, Rev. Ellsworth threw rose petals in the air.

Raising their champagne glasses in celebration.

Then off to do some late afternoon romantic shots.

They looked so relaxed and happy in each other’s arms.






Congratulations!

Their wedding ceremony was on a Wednesday morning at the beautiful Harvest Inn in St. Helena.


On the bride’s bouquet was a pin that belonged to her grandmother. This is the same pin Nancy’s mom had at her wedding years ago.


The groom gives the go ahead for the ceremony to begin, which was held on the Vin Rose lawn with Peadar Dalton of Your Ceremony Matters officiating.

Beyond the white rose garden are vineyards with mountains in the background, which makes for a beautiful and peaceful setting.

This is the secluded view from the opposite vantage point.


The bride and groom shared their happiness following the ceremony by calling their loved ones.

A variety of relaxed portraits.






Best wishes!

They say April showers bring May flowers; for us, the month of May is filled with love and so many delightful couples getting married! It is truly a joy to photograph each and every one of them. Mary and Brent were married on a Tuesday afternoon at Churchill Manor in Napa.



They were married outside by the fountain surrounded by roses, which are in full bloom. Their ceremony was performed by Capt. Kevin Trazinski of Vineyard Vows.




They were so happy — the next few photos were taken within a couple of minutes of the recessional.



I love the bride’s square cut ring. The groom’s ring compliments hers nicely.

Mary’s bridal bouquet of red roses.

I like the attitude in this one.

Photos with movement in them are a lot fun.

See what I mean?!

Here’s a nice romantic closing shot.

Congrats Mary & Brent!

What a great afternoon it was in Napa Valley for their wedding ceremony! This couple traveled from Canada and chose Harvest Inn in St. Helena for their destination wedding.

They had a spacious two-story suite. Here in the upper story, is Jennifer pre-ceremony with a view overlooking White Hall Lane vineyards.

The ceremony was held on the Vine Rose lawn with Peadar Dalton of Your Ceremony Matters officiating.


Rev. Dalton included their small group of guests in the wedding ceremony by having each guest touch the wedding rings, thereby giving their approval and blessing on the marriage.

Here is the bride reciting her vows.

As husband and wife, they have their first kiss.

. . . and then some other ones to capture how they “felt” on their wedding day. : )



Congratulations! Come back and visit on your anniversary!

They were married in a private ceremony mid week at Churchill Manor in Napa.

A beautiful portrait of the bride with soft pastel colors.

One in living color. Dana wore a blue street-length dress and Bryan had a matching blue tie.
