Lucky me photographing such beautiful couples!

Dori looked so beautiful on Saturday when she and Noah were married at the Sebastiani Winery in Sonoma. Here she waits patiently for Noah who is about to see her for the first time on their wedding day.

This morning I was shooting at To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville and the grapes and vineyard looked beautiful. Weather was warming with a perfect breeze.

Monday, the day before the rain, harvest was happening at Morisoli Vineyard in Rutherford. Here one of the vineyard workers harvests the cabernet grapes that will be used by Meander Wines.

Okay, so I’ve been shooting a lot, many cool, fun and love filled weddings, vineyard harvest and this afternoon engagement photos in San Francisco. Kricket and Mike are to be married next month in Capitola and today we shot near the location where they had their first date, the Delance Street Restaurant .

I have not done the full edit but just glanced at the downloaded gallery. This is one photo, outside the restaurant, that I grabbed to share. Fun couple!

Kids and photos – a magical time.  Photographing children is, generally, a time when parents seek the nice family group photos and when I seek photos like this where when left to their playful, interesting selves children are real just being in the moment. Yes we get those nice family photos and often much more when moments like this happen and are captured. This little wedge of time of Yael’s life, quietly captured, printed and now always remembered.

Other frames in this sequence show that Yael is sitting on an old stump in a wooded park like area near her grandparents home here in Napa.
