Last Saturday started out just wonderfully for me… first getting to see Kim & Derek, and Kim’s parents to show them their wedding images for the first time at the Napa Valley homestead, and then just up the road to the beautiful Silverado Country Club to meet my wonderful friend Jill of Jill Doherty Photography, to photograph her sweet clients, Stephanie and Matt — such a beautiful day for a wedding! Steph’s shoes were just amazing (we all know how obsessed I am with fabulous wedding shoes…), and every detail of their black and pink themed wedding sparkled and shined! The sun shined brightly on their ceremony in the grove, which was performed by my favorite wine country wedding officiant, Reverend Blane Ellsworth, who is so much fun to work with… it was my second time in his congregation for a wedding, and I honestly just want to hug him a million times! After they said “I Do!” Steph and Matt grabbed their golf clubs and whacked one down the green for good measure! Here are my favorites from the day…

Silverado Country Club Wedding | Napa Wedding Photographer

First wedding of 2010, and what a day it was! We kept having to remind ourselves that it was January! Beautiful sunny skies with white puffy clouds, temps in the 60′s, and a beautiful wedding venue, The Silverado Country Club! Got to shoot with my dear friend, Jill Doherty, whose work you’ll find featured on the cover of their wedding information brochure (way to go Jill!) Just as I promised in my blog post about film for wedding photography, I brought along my Holga, and took some shots of the bride’s beautiful dress… It’s hard to ration myself to one or two shots per photo shoot…

The stunning bride Io was absolutely sweet and wonderful, and the strong love between her and Tim kept us all warm and fuzzy! Her impeccable taste was evident in every wedding detail, and when Jill pulled the wrapping off her wedding gown we both gasped… WOW – there could have been no more perfect dress for this lovely lady! Thanks to Jill for having me along, and all the best wishes for only happiness in the future for Io and Tim!

Shoes and rings and bling, oh MY!

Speaking of trusty associates, Jill and I made a date last Friday to have lunch and go photograph some stuff just for fun! She has a wedding coming up at the San Francisco Zoo, and my avid blog readers know how I love the zoo… So we walked around, met some really nice people, and saw an 8 day old baby giraffe (oh how I love the giraffes…) We tried to think of a challenge, and late in the day we came up with the idea of photographing each other in a dandelion field with some interesting lighting challenges… Here’s my two favorites of Miss Jill…. and she just emailed me one of me, which I love! I’d say we passed our challenge with flying colors.
