MENDOCINO COUNTY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY : UKIAH VALLEY HOME : TESTA VINEYARD

It's been a while since we've had the opportunity to work at Testa Vineyards, so when Melanie followed my lead & chose it as the 'Getting Ready' location? I was thrilled! And - they brought all of their friends & family to share the home with them for the Weekend!! I always think that's the perfect way to do it - - who can get enough love + memories in just one day?! Make it a Weekend!
Hair & Make-up just arrived...! I'll keep playing!
The flowers just blew me away! GORGEOUS!
...just checking in...
 Time to get that amazing dress on!
Grandmas' pearls...
Okay, ladies - let's take a few photos before the boys all arrive!
 These BOUQUETS!!!
When we discussed her color palette - I could have never imagined THIS!

They're here! They're here!
 I'm always so excited for this moment!
