They chose the beautiful Churchill Manor in Napa Valley for their destination wine country wedding.



We arranged a meeting between the bride and groom so that they could see each other privately for the first time that day prior to the ceremony for a few moments together.

They each had three attendants — here are the guys with the groom . . .

. . . and the ladies with the bride.

Meet Sparky! What a special cocker spaniel this guy is; he traveled with Melissa and David all the way from Colorado to Napa and was present for some pre-ceremony shots. We were all up for that as we love dogs and it was a lot of fun taking some photos of them with him!

How cute!

The wedding program doubled as a fan, which was much appreciated on this warm summer day.

A couple views of the ceremony officiated by Pastor Bob Groves.


The bridal party celebrates with a toast.

Guests signed a new family heirloom.

Their dinner reception was held in the side yard of the inn.

Pretty early evening lighting makes their new wedding rings sparkle.

The guests got a kick out of the toasts as well.

Here is a unique cake topper with a couple embracing, as in a first dance.

Their first dance was to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t help falling in love with you”.


The party moved inside for some more fun and dancing.

A few more shots of the bride and groom before we depart for the evening.

They wanted to have some fun action shots.

The sun setting behind Churchill Manor makes for a pretty closing shot.

Congratulations!
