LAKE COUNTY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : MOORE FAMILY WINERY

One thing I believe all amazing Photographers are born with is their hefty attention to Detail. One thing that NO ONE could miss on Saturday? - Bills' complete adoration of his new wife...his best friend...Cheyenne.

Several times throughout the evening, I would simply tear up as I watched him gaze at her - he could not take his eyes off her...his kind words during his Speech...the way he was constantly kissing her gently on the forehead...just...awwww!!

I began our day with the Ladies at The Tallman Hotel in Upperlake - a beautiful location to get ready that's full of elegant charm. Cheyenne was SO excited about her perfect dress! She showed it to me not too long ago - as Bill slunk away grinning from ear to ear to let us girls gawk. I think he had an idea just how stunning she'd look...although, I doubt he could ever imagine she'd be THIS breathtaking!!

With nearly an hour drive ahead of us, we were quickly on our way through the countryside to a quaint church not far from the Reception Venue for an intimate Ceremony...surrounded by those that love them most.

Able to relax a bit (well, hopefully they were!), we were excited to finally be working with Moore Family Winery ! We met Stepheny a few years ago & have been waiting for our paths to cross ever since! The Winery grounds are beautiful - even in the middle of Winter! Yay!

CONGRATULATIONS to another set of gorgeous Newlyweds!

I don't think I've ever seen brothers more in awe of their Sister...you could positively see the love they have for her...

...and one another! "-)

THANK YOU, Cheyenne, for being such a Trooper as the cold settled in & the goose-bumps arrived! We shot as fast as we could in order to get them indoors & to their Cocktail Hour! Hosted by Mike Keating with Grand Slam Mobile DJs - the evening was a BLAST!

It may have taken you 10 yrs to get to this day...but, believe me...the wait means nothing more than having extra time to form a bond that will last an Eternity! Congratulations...I don't think I could've said it any better myself - - May your new Life be...

LAKE COUNTY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER : TALLMAN HOTEL

It's rare, but it does happen about once a Season for us...last weekend was a Double-Header whirlwind...so, I'm a wee late on my Blog Posts.

I couldn't wait to share both of these phenomenal Weddings (Sneak Peeks were posted to our new FaceBook page - be sure to head over & LIKE us, if you haven't already)!

Thank you, guys, for waiting - I thought getting the Editing done was definitely more important!! "-)

Sat. took us to the Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake as a new Venue for us. We'd been there a couple yrs back for Dinner & fell in love. It's so quaint & charming - definitely a GREAT destination for close families & friends! The staff is friendly, helpful & just ... wonderful!

Jackie & Chris each provided their own personal touch to the elegant evening - with the latest DC shoes for the Groom & a romantic Marilyn-esque gown for her. She was STUNNING!!

Add in one of my FAV Florist to the day (Hi, Dena!) - we were set!

Photo break for the Bride & Groom!!

I always love being able to step away for a few minutes & find a few different backdrops for our Clients...the DownTown district of Upper Lake provided just that!
