HEALDSBURG WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : HEALDSBURG COUNTRY GARDENS

You know what can be nerve wracking about having a couple weeks off in a row during Wedding Season (even if it IS in the middle of the heat-spell & you're rather greatful)? EVERYTHING!! Did you grab all your gear you'll need, are you going to remember all your favorite poses, etc.

But, that allll went away the moment I stepped into the Bridal Cottage & the day began ... exhale & breathe ...

Bonnie was amazing to work with! She was calm, on schedule & just READY to marry her man!! She had a great team of girls all willing to help & you could tell that they truly enjoyed being a part of her special day...

With rolling vineyards, shaded gardens, a barn & even a Grapevine arch, Healdsburg Country Gardens is just a gem of a place to shoot!

And, of course, I always adore my Bridal Party hugs as I'm heading out - you can just tell the love is all around! THANK YOU to Nathan & Bonnie, the entire Wedding Party, Vendors & of course, Niels - - yesterdays Wedding was just about PERFECT! ... and awaaaay we gooo into our busy Season!

SANTA ROSA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : VINTNERS INN

What did I love MOST about this Wedding? Rhea's laugh! It was honest, it was true - it was out there - & I can hear it now as we 'speak'...

This shoot was one of our Favorites to date, for sure! Holding a special place in our hearts for High School sweeties (yes, the tears make an appearance for every slideshow), it was just a ton of fun to see sooo many friends & family in one place with true excitement that today had finally arrived.

Did I mention excitement?! This Wedding Party was BOUNCING off the walls - - okay - - not off the walls, but up/down & all around! Whooo Hooo get it get it! The energy shared by this group was certainly an extra special treat for us! Being as high-energy as you need to be as Photographers - it's that much more fun to see it in your Clients!

And, the icing on the cake? The endless photo opportunities provided by Vintners Inn ~ ahhh...love it!

Rhea & Jon ~ Thank you for sharing your day with us....and may your years together be as profound as ours have been to us...xo
