LARSEN'S PHOTOGRAPHY: CALPELLA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY : TESTA HOUSE VINEYARDS

When I met Adrienne last December, I was immediately gripped by her absolute enthusiasm for her upcoming Wedding day! Over the MOON enthusiasm! She had selected a Venue that was new to the Wedding World & had SO many ideas & visions! It was positively contagious & I'm so thrilled she selected us to share in her day!

When I arrived at Testa House, the Bride was tied up at the Salon. Which worked just fine with our time-line, as I jumped in on the 'Details'. One thing missing!? SHOES! We searched that house up & down, but - luckily - there were pairs to spare & it all worked out just fine!

Adrienne soon arrived & her Brides Maids got right to work helping get her dressed.

She looked positively breathtaking!

Ahead of schedule - we had plenty of time to play around before the Ceremony...

...while Niels was outside taking care of the Grooms' Formals!

Time for a quick, 93' Ceremony! I know her Guests were so happy to see them get Married - and that it was only about 11 mins long! Adrienne had been a bit nervous regarding her Ceremony time + the fact that the local fires have had the valley packed with smoke randomly over the past few weeks. In the end - it was a PERFECT day!

Off to hide in the Shade for Formals - we tried to shoot as quickly as possible for everyone...it was quite warm. I don't know how the boys do it in those Jackets!! THANK YOU!

Adrienne initially told me she didn't want a million shots of her cracking up. I did my best. She's adorable & happy, and - well - - that's just HER! She's FUN!!!

Veils + Wind = more silliness.

Time for everyone to go hydrate & relax - - while we work some magic with our gorgeous Newlyweds!

Off to the Reception - for snacks & hugs!

As the light was fading, we snuck away for a few more poses...

The boat? It just HAD to be done - - sorry, guys!! "-)

Coming in for a landing? Not always the most graceful thing - at least we kept her DRY!! "-)

Wow! We don't normally draw such a crowd!! I feel FAMOUS! Hope you got some great shots, girls!!

Love me some Clarks....gorgeous!

Adrienne called me the other day from the road as they rolled into town following their Mini-Moon of pampering on the Coast...just to tell me how positively 'high' she was about her entire Wedding experience. This warms my heart...puts a smile on my face...and makes that little gray hair that seems to pop up regularly this time of year seem so totally worth it!! CONGRATULATIONS, guys! Wishing you joy & love - may you share this Journey with tons of adorable, little....furry Clarks!! xo
