Janel & Geoffrey had a beautiful, intimate wedding last month at gorgeous Meadowood in St. Helena, nestled in the hills of the Napa Valley.   Surrounded by close friends and family, Janel & Geoffrey were married on the lovely croquet lawn at Meadowood, in a traditional Jewish ceremony.  I’ve always loved the way that Jewish ceremonies reflect a deep sense of community and family.   Because the ceremony has so many parts as well, it’s really lovely to photograph… so many touching moments!  Below are just a few favorites from their wedding day.

The stunning floral design is the work of Pat Friday, of Friday Flowers.

What a gorgeous wedding!  Allison & Dustin are so in love, and so full of kindness and generosity.  Surrounded by family and good friends, these two just radiated happiness.  

The hardest part of working on their images, has been narrowing them down to share.  Here are some favorites from the day!

I was so glad that my photog gal pal Kirsty Edwards was available to 2nd shoot for me that day!  She’s a rockstar, and I couldn’t resist including some of her gorgeous work… thanks so much Kirsty!  Here is one from the arbor that  I LOVE!!!

Allison & Dustin were able to borrow Dustin’s grandparents vintage Chevrolet for a quick photoshoot when the sun was about to set – glowy, vintage loveliness!!!

Below is another Kirsty shot I adore!!!

Finally, Kirsty shot this one while I held for dear life onto her legs so she could lean backwards out of the front seat while the car was moving!!!  Ah, what we’ll do for a shot… worth it I think, don’t you?!!!

Such fun & such a beautiful day!  Thank you Allison & Dustin for inviting us to be a part of it!!!

So fun!  Angelina & Greg are getting married in just over a week!!!

We met for a quick site visit at their beautiful reception site: Chardonnay Golf Course, then headed out to some land that belongs to Greg’s family.  We played in the vineyards, caught some great shots and had a ton of fun!

These two have been dating since highschool, and they are just the sweetest couple!  Such a long history, and lots of fun stories to share.  My favorite was hearing about the way that Greg proposed to Angelina.  After the “real” proposal, he planned a surprise party with both of their families in attendance, so that right after they were engaged, they were surrounded by all the people they love.  What a wonderful way to start this new part of their lives together! So sweet.

Here are some faves from the day!
