I just finished shooting a truly breathtaking wedding at Viansa in Sonoma Valley, the wedding of Deanna and Marty.  It was a real pleasure to photograph their special day together in the most spectacular of settings.  Photographing the Viansa Winery takes me back to the old country –to Tuscany.  Everything about the location is authentic from the Italian varietal grapes, to the lovingly tended olive groves, to the incredible respect for wine and food pairing, to the villa perched on a hilltop overlooking soft, rolling hills.  Viansa is the perfect setting for an incredibly romantic wedding complete with gorgeous wedding photographs  –it is a magical place.

Marty and Deanna’s love was palpable, and lucky me, I was there to capture every delicious moment.  Deanna had recently recovered from knee surgery, but she certainly did not let that stop her from having the time of her life.  The DJ was spinning Mash-ups, and the bride, the groom and all of their guests were dancing well into the night.  Somehow, I think the fact that Deanna had just recovered, made her that much more grateful for what she has, and she and Marty were able to look forward to a life full of love and adventure together.  It was beautiful.

Oh, and did I mention how incredibly gorgeous Viansa is???  Oh yeah.  It is a photographer’s dream!
