Understated elegance and timeless! Napa is already one of my most favorite places to vacation as it is. Really what is better than glorious weather, fabulous food and WINE! Yep, you can go to one place and have an abundance of all those things at once. Yes, I LOVE Napa. So when Liz and Greg decided to get married in Napa, I was completely on board! Then when you add on the private Beaulieu grounds, that Gina with CLINK was the coordinator and designer, Britt is her awesome assistant and that I was going to shoot with one of my best friends and amazing photographers Diana M Lott Photography! There was no doubt I wasn’t going to have a blast and get some gorgeous photos! Seriously, look at this couple!!! Beaulieu is also one of the most beautiful places I have ever photographed! It’s manicured gardens and vintage elegance is just breath taking! Paula Le Duc was the caterer and they have a garden right there on the property that was used for the fabulous menu! So now time for the photos!!!!

Liz and Greg’s gorgeous rehearsal dinner took place in a wine cave at Rutherford Hill Winery in the hills of Napa Valley! Gina and Britt with CLINK came out to coordinate everything! These girls rocked! Gina has an amazing attention to detail and found some great places for this wedding weekend. Diana with Diana M. Lott Photography and I were hired to shoot this fabulous weekend! I have to say, I do NOT hate my job. :) The guests arrived to the winery and were greeted with Sauvignon Blanc to cool down then we walked the path back to the wine cave where they were served some amazing appetizers before settling into the cave for a candlelit dinner and wine pairing. So this is just the rehearsal! The wedding post is up next!!

Where to start about this super cute couple! It has been so wonderful getting to know them! It started over a year ago with their engagement session and their Labradoodles!!! Fast forward a year to the wedding! It took place at the lovely Laguna Gloria. Kelsey and Heath wanted to something bright and colorful, so lanterns and parasols were everywhere adding that bright color! A friend was their DJ and spun records and some great classics. Lots of dancing, some margaritas and the “captured’ photobooth made for a wild night!!! Here are some of my favorites!

I came the second day to get some couple shots and grab a few detail pics. I am always so honored when someone from the industry asks me to do photos for them.  Nisa is the super talented make-up artist that owns and runs Nisa Nicole . Nisa is so amazing, she did her own make up! Here are some of my favorites!

I was so excited when I first met Nora and just knew we were going to have some serious fun together!! Nora is a free spirit with a sense of humor like no one else’s Her and Will are the most perfect match, he is the Nora-Whisperer. ;) He is just that calming, loving and never ending love that Nora was looking for. While their relationship started as friends, it quickly grew into something much more, if that is not obvious from this post! This couple can brighten your day just from their silliness and the way they are together! I had such a hard time picking my favorite pics for this post. Nora is such a ham in front of the camera and then put Will with Nora. it is nothing but ridiculous cuteness!!!! So here are my favorites!

The reception and the details were gorgeous and classic! I loved all the different arrangements on the tables, really added a unique touch to the site. Katy and Ben chose a black and white palette with accents of green in the flowers. The chandeliers and architecture inside the St. Anthony Hotel was amazing! Plus I loved the fact that the church was located just across the street and we got that great shot of Katy and Ben crossing it, very classic! Paige, who is a good friend of Katy and her family also did the coordinating. Her companies name is Paige One Events and Productions and was so wonderful to work with! So here are the rest!!!!
