Erin and Seth in Sonoma, at B.R. Cohn Winery.

Let me start by saying the was in an INCREDIBLE weekend. We arrived in Sonoma on Friday to meet up with the whole wedding party and family for a day of wine tasting. It was amazing. There was a limo bus and gold star treatment from all the wineries. Needless to say, i bought quite a few wines. Kenwood Jack London Zinfandel is superb if you have a chance to pick it up. Then later than night, Erin and Seth had a party for all their guest at this killer retro resort, the Flamingo. There were two open bars and some incredible appetizers. It was pretty much the BEST pre-wedding day we have ever done.
The day of the wedding was awesome. Erin was so chill and not in the least high maintenance. She was pretty much the perfect bride. Easy going, but yet very stylish and intentional about planning her beautiful wedding. Seth was also fun to work with. Tell me you don't think he looks like John Stewart...The whole thing took place at B.R. Cohn winery, actually owned and operated by the manager of the Doobie Brothers! The colors were amazing. Bright vibrant yellows and greens really accented the fall colors that were just stating to pop out in late August.
Oh, and Erin was GORGEOUS in her classic dress. She had a very timeless and vintage beauty about her.
Thanks so much for the super fun Friday, and a great wedding.
P.S. the port and chocolate bar was amazing!

By late august the grapes were a beautiful purple-blue color. (and they tasted amazing!)






This was a great backdrop for her dress.


Like i said, timeless beauty!




This is one of my favorite shots of the day. The bouquet looked great for photos alone, but matched with the vineyard and the dress, they really popped!






This was the ceremony on Fox Hill at the winery. Apparently they just started doing ceremonies here. Absolutely breath taking., surrounded by vineyards under the trees.












This was great among the olive trees.

Erin and Jason, ready to POP!

I met Erin and Jason through Kiley and Brandon Riggs, a long time friends who I have photographed, hung out with, and golfed with. (Thats a killer combo.) We met on the beach last night, and it was CROWDED! We ended making fun of some wild teenagers that reminded us of some characters on The OC. I swear, my wife has me hooked on that show now...anyways, back to Erin. Jason wasn't super excited about the camera, but once we got started,he warmed up and we had a blast. They are going to have a baby girl in about 6 weeks, and I am SOOO excited to photograph their newborn...if not their delivery photos...hint hint! Erin will be a beautiful new mom, and Jason will be a great Father. I can feel it in my bones.
Enjoy these pics guys, and i can't wait to meet the little one!

This is my favorite one. Its so still, yet there is a lot of energy in this shot.


Great colors popping here.


This one, not so much with colors, but definitely not lacking on pop.




Great tummy profile here.






She might kill me for saying this, but Erin looks so much like Christina Applegate...look hard, i know you can see it. (Post-Married with Children of course...think Anchorman.)


I love this little mini-cave.

Caren and David, the green machines.

I met David and Caren the day that we did our engagement shoot. They booked me from out of state, without meeting me based on my work of a friends wedding, Kara Greer. Thats the kinda booking i like! The first thing i noticed: the GREEN! i loved it. i usually tell couples not to match, but i liked what they had going on here. So they were timid at first, but after a couple minutes and after a few fun comments, they really loosened up and we had a great time. I am excited for their wedding in October! Thanks guys!

Love this moment. I think i was making fun of David and his chewing...yes, ask him about it!






The green and reddish brown make a nice color combo. Wedding colors maybe????

Kerry and Drew

Here we have Kerry and Drew who are getting married in October. Not a particularly hard couple to photograph....they are gorgeous! They are more than just pretty faces, they have such great personalities too! They are both easy to talk too, and are super fun to photograph.Drew practically wanted to jump in the water right away. We have some mutual friends, couples who's wedding I have shot, so it was great to talk about them. We were supposed to meet for a drink at the Crow Bar before, but they were running late with traffic, so i guess we'll have to have a round at their wedding!



LOVE this shot. Beautiful profile.








I think he was ready to jump in. I had to intervene or Kerry would have been wet and unhappy!!! This was the BEGINNING of the shoot too!




Great color on this one. The sun disappeared for a while, then decided to pop back out.
