Ashley & Chris: Sonoma Destination Wedding | Viansa Winery | Sonoma Lodge

A few weeks ago, Ray and I drove up to Sonoma for Ashley and Chris' destination wedding at Viansa Winery. That day temperatures were blistering and it was around 108 degrees in Sonoma! Since Ashley and Chris are from the Dallas area, they didn't wilt in the heat!

Ashley and Chris were married in the gorgeous wine cave at Viansa. Reverend Peador of Your Ceremony Matters did a fantastic job with the wedding ceremony, and I highly recommend him if you're looking for a wonderful wedding officiant in the Sonoma and Napa valleys. Viansa has to be one of the most gorgeous wineries in the area, with sweeping views, a lovely courtyard, and a fantastic wine cave.

You can view more of our destination wedding photography with this handy dandy slideshow.

Ashley and Chris opted to have their First Look before the ceremony. Ray and I took them to a beautiful private courtyard on the grounds of the Sonoma Lodge where they were staying.

We did an extended portrait session with Ashley and Chris since they wanted gorgeous, casual portraits of themselves on their wedding day.

The wedding ceremony took place in the very intimate wine cave and was lit by candlelight.
