This couple was married at a private residence in Calistoga.


The bride’s three sisters were the bridesmaids.

These bracelets were gifts from the bride to her bridesmaids and flower girl.

The vineyards were a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony site.

A decorative flower detail that was on one of the isle chairs.

Prior to the ceremony the girls had a “sister hug”.

Beautiful early evening lighting as the bride was escorted down the isle by her dad.

Here are some photos taken after the ceremony in the vineyards.

Turn about is fair play. : )

Beautiful sky just prior to their departure.

Rose petals showered them as they made their way to their car to leave the reception.

Best wishes!

This couple chose to have their destination wedding at V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena.

We started out our day by going to the bride’s room at Harvest Inn where she was getting ready. Here is a bridal portrait that I really like the look and feel of.

A unique view of the wedding ceremony in progress.

The bride walked on this carpet of rose petals to the ceremony site.

The ceremony was performed by Judith Caldwell of Brilliant Ceremonies. This photograph shows the groom receiving a little assistance with his wedding vows from Judith.

The bride smiles at her soon-to-be husband during the ceremony.

The cocktail reception by the fountain.

Yummy looking hors d’oeuvres! Catering by Knickerbockers Catering .

This black cat lives at V. Sattui and is seemingly unaffected by the guest’s presence while resting on the edge of the fountain.



The barrel room where the wedding reception took place.

they had a wedding cake . . .

. . . and a groom’s cake.

A few more bride and groom photos toward the end of the evening.

They were married at a private estate in Santa Rosa with approximately 180 guests in attendance.

There were so many trees on the property — this one made for a great spot for the Groom and Groomsmen.

The property was atop a hill with this beautiful view below of the water below.

Here comes the bride!

The filtered light from the trees kept the guests comfortable on this warm afternoon.



I love the way they are looking at each other and how happy they are in this recessional photo.

The pool looked very inviting.

The sunset was really beautiful at the top of this hill.



Wishing you all the very best!

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.

Group photo of all guests.

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

Pretty early evening lighting makes their new wedding rings sparkle.

The bride and groom shown enjoying the toasts given by the Maid of Honor and the Best Man.

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!

This wedding took place at Vintner’s Inn, located in Santa Rosa.


The grounds at Vintner’s Inn are spectacular. I loved this beautiful bird of paradise.

Off to the reception; love the beautiful warm early evening light.

The ballroom.

Details . . .

What was inside the gift boxes.

The first dance features the bride and groom but we always like to have some photos that include the guests as well.

I love the layers of story-telling in this photo; not only does it feature the groom gently kissing the forehead of his new wife but in the background it shows the participation of the guests and emotion of the two women on either side of the photo.

Checking out their wedding cake.

The Brian Cline Band was awesome!

Guests dancing on colorfully lit floor.

One of many romantic kisses the bride and groom shared on their wedding day.

End of the evening champagne toast.

Congratulations! Thank you for choosing us as your photographers!
