For this East Coast couple, Churchill Manor was the perfect destination choice for their West Coast nuptials! Their celebration was filled with family and friends who enjoyed their Napa Valley experience. A few of our favorite photos follow to give you a glimpse into their day.

As a little girl on Long Island, I can remember having our rotary dial telephone in the hallway resting on a piece of furniture we called a “gossip bench” similar to the style shown here. Months prior to her wedding day, Caroline mentioned to me she would like to be photographed in this spot.

Although the wedding day’s focus is directed toward the bride and groom, it always tickles me to see the reaction of the rest of the guests. Here, as the parents proceed out the front doors of the inn with their daughter, Mark captures the moment of pure joy on the face of the mother of the bride.
