Before we all venture off to spend time with family and friends for Thanksgiving, I think you’ll want to take a peek at this beautiful wedding! There is no where better to celebrate fall in the Napa Valley; Calistoga Ranch is the perfect setting to enjoy rustic romance with classic elegance. You may remember this gorgeous couple from their maternity shoot. Now, just a few months later, with their adorable baby in their arms, Shawna & David celebrated an unforgettable day planned and designed by Sarah Drake of Cole Drake Events. With every moment, every image…romance!

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.
