UKIAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : ST MARYS CHURCH : BRUTOCAO CELLARS CONTENTO

I just adore Amber + Leo. We've bumped into them several times over the past year & every time - it's nothing but smiles from ear to ear. They have been SO excited preparing for this day...and, from the moment I arrived & paused to take in my surroundings? I just knew it was going to take my breath away - from start to finish. I was right.

 Everything was ready for me when I arrived & I got right to work while Amber, her 7 Bridesmaids & a few adorable nieces & nephews finished up their looks for the day...

 I didn't even have to see it on her.
It was 'the one'.

 Okay - I'm ready to get this day rolling!

 Un-bee-LEE-vuh-ble. AMBER!
You are stunning!

 SEE!?!?

Bestie. They are the best for a reason...

 Amber. I wasn't sure if you were going to burst...or melt. I could just feel the emotions wrestled tight inside...brimming...THANK YOU for bearing with me...! xo

...flawless...

With just a few minutes left before needing to leave for the Church, all the girls loaded up & headed out...

 ...wait! Where'd my Bride go?!
Quick jewelry switch!

 Alright, we're ready!

...off to the Church...right on time!

 Leo is all set, too!

 I love when I see a Bride in her moment...that moment she's back with her man...

 ...off to Hopland!

...awww...Family.

 Snapshot! All of Leos' lifelong besties were right there with him today!

 ...the wind was unreal. I don't even know what else to say!

 Let's get this Party started!

 ...he can't take his eyes off of her...

Aww - we've never had a BOW Cake! Sooo cute!

 Toast time!

 ...poor baby sister...stayed up ALL night helping get things ready & is just 'done'...

 ...the love felt across the room was infectious...everyone was in tears as their friends shared their love for the Newlyweds.

 Dads' turn!

 ...you two are inspiring...a gushing Groom warms my heart...

 Who's neeeext!?!? "-)

 Cake time!

 Amber had sent me over a handful of photos she loved - so, once the lighting was just right? ...we snuck away to play...

 ...but, it's the unplanned ones that make me smile most! xo

GORGEOUS!!!

 I just love these two together...

I know...I love this shot...every time...

The sunset was unreal!

 ...and, the girls go wild...

 ...I'm thinking they are likin' what they're seein'?! "-)

I told you this day was going to take my breath away from start to finish! Look at that sky!

 ...sometimes, you wonder why or how two people are together...
with Amber + Leo?
The more appropriate question would be : how could they not? xo
