{Megan + Michael} Calistoga Ranch . Napa Valley Film Photography

Megan & Michael came to me and I instantly knew that I would love them. When they explained that Megan was a World Champion Equestrian, Michael had a million great questions for me about my work and in lieu of an expensive engagement ring they decided to go to Thailand…these are my people! Their wedding was so fun; complete with a hike into the creek bed (love it when my clients trust me), a Guinness World Record setting PingPong rally, and a push-up contest between the bride and her father. Seriously…couldn’t ask for a wedding more fun to photograph. But despite all of the hoopla, the best part…the absolute best part, is watching these two look at each other. Nothing can out-do simple, honest, love.

{HARVEST 2013} NAPA VALLEY | LIFESTYLE IMAGES

Early crisp mornings, sticky fingers & the sweet smell of grapes in the air…it must be harvest. When I am not working with beautiful brides this fall, I get the opportunity to photograph the gorgeous grape harvest for my clients. As always I’m so impressed by the talent and hard work of these crews!
