SONOMA COUNTY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : VINTNERS INN

I'm one of those people that believes in Fate - that somehow? Everything happens for a reason....that when you leave behind a Legacy that's meant to bring betterment to our World? ...just maybe...it does so in ways you might never have dreamed...

Watching Harold + Laurens' day unfold, it was perfectly clear what Fate had in store for these two & exactly why they had been brought together. They both made mention of it so eloquently in their self-written Vows...to make this World a better place.
With good wine & even better food as their motivation to settle here in Wine Country for their Wedding day, I got right to work on the 'details' upon our arrival - as the ladies continued with Hair & Make-up...
 ...ohhhh - - these shoes!!!
 ...running behind? Why not catch a nap!?
 ...nothing like learning some good, quality patience...right, young man? "-)
So handsome!
 ...just exhale, my friend...just exhale...
 ...ready for it?
 ...BEST...
 ...REVEAL...
 ...EVER...!
I was literally in tears...and, giggling...as I edited this series...perfection!
 Stamp of approval!
 ...just about time to get Married...here comes Dad...! (and, the tears)
...everyone is here...we're all set!
 Niiice!
 ...32 yrs. in - still supporting one another through those emotional times...
In my opinion, one of the main foundations when it comes to setting & achieving goals in life starts at home - strong faith, dedication & commitment...all of which you gain from experience...from example. All of which were apparent priorities on both sides of these amazing Families.

I also must point out - not only is this one of the most gorgeous groups of people we've ever worked with - it was perfectly clear that a kind & gorgeous heart shines brightest as we worked along side them.

From the moment we arrived - to the moment we left, I felt nothing but love, support & compassion from everybody involved in this day!

Aww Sissy!! Wait...Momma?! I need proof! ...what a stunner!
Bring in the Sisters!
 ...you just wont find any nicer people...SO privileged to have shared in this day!
Let's get these two to their Cocktail hour to enjoy their Friends & Family that have come from ALL over the Country to be here!
Every time I turned around - there were endless, gorgeous people coming my way!
 I am telling you -- I've never seen a better looking crowd...ever!
 ...ummm...wagers on who's next?! "-)
 Okay - Lindsey's got us all ready to start the Evening!
The new Mr. + Mrs.!!!
 ...I love starting with the 1st dance...
 ...a little shout-out to the Bride for being THAT gorgeous!
 Time for our quick Sunset Session!
 Amazing. Thank you!
The honorary Brides-Maids...!
 How fun is this!? I want one!!!
 Time to Party!!
Okay - I'm not even about to admit how many times I was in tears during Toasts. 
They were so full of love & testament to what brought these two amazing Families together.
You learn SO much about people - - if you just actually take the time to listen...touching, deep & inspirational. xo
 ...ready...set...GOOOO!!
 How cool is THAT?! Your very own Painting from your evening?! Awesome!
Harold + Lauren, you are both so true...so personable, loving & genuine.
As you start the next chapter of your Journey - as you find your place in this great, big World of ours - I whole-heartedly Thank You for already making it a better place. xo
