SONOMA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : KENWOOD INN & SPA

You know that amazing feeling you get when you find JUST the right 'thing'...a purse...those shoes...your Wedding gown? Well, that's exactly how Lisa & Aaron felt when they pulled in for a quick stop at the Kenwood Inn & Spa on their way to tour a nearby Venue - THIS was their place! A quaint Wine Country Paradise - it was their 'perfect'!

Another new Venue for us - I was VERY excited to have the opportunity to share in their day. As soon as we arrived, we jumped right in! Not literally, of course, but we are soooo going back for some 'downtime' as soon as we get the chance! ahhh

Lisa & her adorable daughter were getting ready in their breathtaking, expansive Suite - while Aaron & his Parents were enjoying the laid-back Lounge. It was easy to see Lisa had paid extra special attention to each detail of her day & I think it all came together flawlessly!

With a handful of their closest Family & Friends by their side - they were surrounded by not only the beautiful grounds, but all the happiness & joy this day should bring.

Before the Restaurant opened for the evening we had PLENTY of time to move around the property & take advantage of the backdrops - and were SO thankful the rain held out for us! yeah!

LAKE COUNTY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : TALLMAN HOTEL

It's rare, but it does happen about once a Season for us...last weekend was a Double-Header whirlwind...so, I'm a wee late on my Blog Posts.

I couldn't wait to share both of these phenomenal Weddings (Sneak Peeks were posted to our new FaceBook page - be sure to head over & LIKE us, if you haven't already)!

Thank you, guys, for waiting - I thought getting the Editing done was definitely more important!! "-)

Sat. took us to the Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake as a new Venue for us. We'd been there a couple yrs back for Dinner & fell in love. It's so quaint & charming - definitely a GREAT destination for close families & friends! The staff is friendly, helpful & just ... wonderful!

Jackie & Chris each provided their own personal touch to the elegant evening - with the latest DC shoes for the Groom & a romantic Marilyn-esque gown for her. She was STUNNING!!

Add in one of my FAV Florist to the day (Hi, Dena!) - we were set!

I always love being able to step away for a few minutes & find a few different backdrops for our Clients...the DownTown district of Upper Lake provided just that!
