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!

Okay, ladies - let's take a few photos before the boys all arrive!
