A couple of months ago I was asked by a past client if I would be willing to do a photo shoot at the new Andis Winery for their new wedding marketing materials. Of course I jumped at the chance to do a shoot! Especially at a place that was new and looking for some great images to promote themselves. Little did I know that this was going to be a full on styled shoot. Table scapes, a few dresses for us to choose from and some awesome flowers! Not only were my models great, but the “props” were too and the winery was AMAZING! It was a great shoot!I am really pleased with how all the images came out and this shoot gave me some time to try new things, set up new shots and think a little bit differently than I normally do when shooting a wedding. I REALLY hope I can do a full wedding at Andis soon!
Location: Andis Winery
Food & Table Scapes: Beth Sogaard Catering & Amador Vintage Market
Dresses : The Clothes Mine

Its a good thing I am a photographer and not a writer. I can never find the right words to describe what I have seen or done. This wedding is the perfect example of this. It wasn’t just a wedding. Eddie and Krysta used this little town of McCloud, California to create an experience for their guests. The best part of this was that everything was seamless. With such a small town, staying in a hotel will only 11 rooms (which happened to be all wedding guests), and not much to do, all the guests, and vendors got to know each other pretty well. We all toured each others rooms, we ate together, talked, and of course celebrated together. It was like we went back in time and we were all brought to back to a time and a place where that was what always happened. The wedding was just like any other. There was a beautiful bride in a white dress, a sharply dressed groom, rings, flowers, food, cake, and dancing. What made this wedding different was everything else. The wedding was the icing on the cake of a great experience.
I cant even think of what I can say about this session that will bring it justice. Yountville was the PERFECT backdrop for Sheri & MJ’s photos. The weather was perfect and the whole session was effortless. These two show affection in its purest form and in a way that just shines through the lens. I had the best time hanging out with Sheri & MJ! Everytime I look at these photo’s it makes me that much more excited for their wedding. It is going to be amazing.
Enjoy the images!
