Married at Harvest Inn, Napa Valley!







This wedding was officiated by Kimberly Thompson of A Beautiful Ceremony Napa Valley.






Congratulations!

They chose a destination Napa Valley location in the middle of a vineyard at Silver Rose Resort Winery to exchange their wedding vows.


This heart-shaped ring holder was very charming. I think any girl would love to receive a ring in one of these.

Gorgeous blue eyes!




Wedding officiant was Reverend Jacqueline Eigen of Wine Country Minister .

What a cool license plate for wedding officiant Jacquie Eigan!




Thanks for choosing us to photograph your very special day! You two were a lot of fun to work with. : )

This is the 200th post to our blog since it’s inception! Thank you to all the couples that entrust us to capture one of the most important days in their lives, which makes it possible to have so many beautiful events to share here.
Today we have Caroline and Joe’s wedding — it was just the two of them for their Napa Valley nuptials in a lush garden setting surrounded by roses.

When we arrive at a venue, I go straight to the bride’s room for portraits and Mark does the same with the groom. That way, we can accomplish getting two segments of the photos done at the same time, which makes for a more efficient use of time.

Your wedding day has finally arrived . . . you’ve spent months, maybe dreamed about it for years, and ultimately decided on all the little details that reflect the person you are and make your day extra special. After the wedding day comes to an end, it is all the moments and the details you want to have a remembrance of, and perhaps, did not have the time to fully appreciate at the time.

I touched on wedding traditions a few days ago. Cutting the wedding cake is a tradition for sure! At most of our elopements, it is the first “meal” the couple share as husband and wife and a sweet one at that. I like that idea. I am so glad to say that we don’t often see the old “smashing the cake in the face” routine any more when couples feed each other. It ruins the bride’s make up and could get all over the perfect gown she has dreamed of ever since she was a little girl — who ever thought cake smashing was a good idea?
