Another fabulous wine country destination wedding at Harvest Inn, St. Helena with Jacqueline Eigan of Wine Country Minister as the Officiant.



It is so satisfying to capture moments like this — the father of the bride giving his daughter a hug after walking her down the isle with the mother of the bride looking on. The mother of the bride even has a camera in her hands and I am so happy for her that she just soaked in the moment and left the capturing part to us. I believe this is a moment they will never forget.

Wine barrel fountain and greenery frames the ceremony site beautifully for this Napa-Stye Wedding.

The bride and groom exchange such an engaging look with each other as the bride slips the ring on the groom.

Pure joy and contentment.

Father of the bride with his new son-in-law immediately following the ceremony.

This sequence was so cute to watch; their personalities and playful spirit really come through in these images. The bride acts so innocent after dotting frosting on the groom’s nose and cheek…and then cracks up laughing in the following photo.


The ring bearer was dressed in all white with adorable blonde curly hair.

I love the pleasing expression on the groom’s face as he looks at the ring on his bride’s hand and the way she looks at him.


Wishing you many happy years!

In a beautiful intimate ceremony, Stefanie and Richard were married in St. Helena with their families in attendance. I love the abundance of color and texture at the Harvest Inn for photographs.



I can’t help but think every time I see a father walking his daughter down the isle on her wedding day what must be going through both of their minds in that brief space of time. The father may be thinking it doesn’t seem so long ago that this beautiful woman that stands before him today was his little girl in pig tails and today she would be embarking on the next chapter in her life.

The next chapter in her life . . . her smiling groom awaits.

Here is a true Napa Valley-Style wedding ceremony, complete with lush vineyards.


The Vin Rose lawn at Harvest Inn is the perfect secluded spot for a small wedding ceremony.

It is my wish that the bride will always remember the way she felt at this tender moment during the ceremony with her subtle smile and softly-closed eyes. As photographers, fleeting moments of emotion are some of the most satisfying parts of life to capture and always on the look-out for and anticipate.

Art meets photography.




This photo is very Cinderella-like to me.



Bridal portrait with a fashion-edge. Love it!


Last, but not least, one of many reasons why couples come to Napa Valley for their weddings–photos in the vineyards!

Congratulations!

It goes without saying that a wedding day is a special, memorable passage of time. Upon arrival at an event, I love to discover all the mini story lines that make each wedding different from the last. With that in mind, here are a few photos that tell part of the story which took place at the beautiful Churchill Manor in Napa, California.

Enter the bride’s room . . .



The bride and groom walked down the front steps of Churchill Manor with a little boy who was a big part of their celebration; he was even given a ring of his own during the ceremony.



Precious!



Thank you for having us be a part of your day!

This juxtaposition of the bride and groom was taken just moments before the beginning of the ceremony, as the groom is waiting to escort his bride down the isle at Churchill Manor, Napa Valley.




The ceremony took place in one of the parlors of the inn, officiated by Pastor Bob Groves.

Best wishes!

Napa Valley destination wedding, two people in love, married at The Carneros Inn and Spa = Perfect.
