Ray and I are so honored that we were chosen as the photographers for the amazing San Francisco Dream Wedding Giveaway. The contest is a collaboration of over 20 of San Francisco top wedding vendors to benefit a deserving couple and to make their wedding an absolute dream!

The wedding of Carolyn and Chris at Viansa in Sonoma was one of our favorite weddings from last year. They had an amazing attention to wedding details, they saw each other before the wedding for a First Look, were incredibly easy to work with, and they devoted lots of time to their wedding portraits. It also helps that they are just the cutest couple and have the best personalities! They were absolute troopers on an incredibly hot day and were so calm and collected before their wedding.

I absolutely love the way that Carolyn is looking at Chris. You can tell that she's absolutely happy to have him as her husband!

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.

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.

Congrats to Ashley and Chris!

Coren and Jason are an incredibly fun and hilarious couple from Baltimore. They decided to elope and had their Meadowood wedding in Napa. The grounds at Meadowood are simply magical and breathtaking.

Since there were no guests, I acted as a witness, and even signed the marriage certificate! Kimberly Thompson of A Beautiful Ceremony officiated, and she did a wonderful job of making the ceremony very tailored and unique for Coren and Jason.

Following the ceremony, Coren, Jason, and I walked around the grounds of Meadowood, and I took lots of casual, relaxed portraits. You can view the slideshow here.
