I truly enjoyed meeting Jessica and Ben for their engagement session in February, and was delighted to work with them again for their wedding at the Napa Valley Country Club in June. They were easygoing and ready for their big day. Surrounded by the impeccable greenery of a lush golf course, they radiated confidence together and set the tone for an incredible evening.
When I first arrived, I was taken aback by the stunning scene in front of me, complete with rolling hills showered with oak trees. But what overcame the magnificence of the location was the beauty of the couple. The chemistry between the newlyweds was so visible, and the laughter and smiles shared by their family and friends was contagious. The bridesmaids and groomsmen seemed to have known each other forever, making the atmosphere totally comfortable and relaxed.
I photographed the first look about an hour and a half before the actual ceremony, which left plenty of time in-between to take care of the formal portraits as well. Getting those done early made for a smooth transition into the reception with no pauses. With the help of the event planner at the Napa Valley Country Club, Don Guinn, the day was a complete success.
Thank you, Ben and Jessica, for sharing your most memorable day!
