We are lucky enough to call Wine Country 'home'. It's a destination people flock to from all over the World ~ so, it's only natural that our beautiful Valley is SO popular for outdoor Fall Weddings!
Jenn & Adam had searched several Venues before settling on the breathtaking Contento Site of Brutocao Cellars. They wanted somewhere intimate, yet with the Freedom to dance the night away. I think they found just the right spot...!
But, first ~ before heading out to that wonderful Venue, we met in town to get dressed...
Jennifer & Stephanie lost their Dad not too long ago...he was most certainly with them today...as always.
It's Wedding day. Sometimes schedules do get a little confusing...for me? I was missing my Bride. And, Niels couldn't quite pin-point the Groom. But, no worries - we can always keep busy...!
Oh my! STUNNING!
She's arrived! Her hair was flawless!
And now, we have one more thing to tend to before we can get her dressed...
I do have to say ~ I'm not a make-up girl.
I do my eyes for special occasions, but the rest? I just don't bother.

Watching Ashley work her magic was just that...magical! I'm ready for some lessons!
Grandma had a story to tell me...and it's one for the Books!
You did good, Steph!! You did good!!
Success!!! We have a Groom!!
We headed out to Contento ~ where a very handsome man happened to be waiting...
Excuse me, sir, you busy this afternoon?!
She mentioned he might be the 'cryer'...xoxo
Love the snap-shots...the "Ohhh! Look what I got" pictures you weren't planning!
There comes that silly time when your Photographers just keeps MAKING you kiss..and they're taking pictures of it!
I have to admit ~ Jennifer was SO easy to shoot.
She looked like a model...a particular actress...just GORGEOUS!
Our beautiful ladies of the day...
Looks like everyone has arrived! Let's get Married...
With just about 90 secs left of the Ceremony, the sun went behind the hill & gave poor Adam's eyes a break! They had tried everything the night before to find an angle that didn't involve blinding someone. (thanks for taking that from the girls, guys!)
Ashley was always there for a touch-up ~ she deserves a photo!
Let me guess where this adorable shot's headed!
That's one of the best things about Contento ~ the backdrops! So many great places to shoot!
THANK YOU, ushers, for running to get them a quick snack!
I'm telling you ~ she HAD to have done some modeling before today...
Always patient...Adam ~ you did amazing, too!
