get married and I get to go to Napa Valley for the first time! Robin and Mark had an amazing wedding in Napa at the Culinary Institute of America. It was a beautiful, intimate wedding with about 40 of their friends and family. You may reconize Robin from various commericals and print ads as she is a model. I love these smaller, intimate weddings because I get to know everyone a little better. I hadn’t met Mark until I arrived for the wedding but he called me the day before and was so nice and made me feel so welcome. Robin has really found a good one! Throughout the day I got to see how beautiful, both inside and out, these two really are and how much they love each other! And I felt very fortunate to have my good friend Trish Couvillion along with me. She is such a great friend to hang out and shoot with me for 5 whole days.

Congrats guys. It was my pleasure to be there! And Robin lets do a bridal shoot in LA. Mark please come too :)

A few getting ready pics to start things off.

I could tell Mark’s daughter and Robin already have a close bond! She stayed with Robin the entire time she was getting ready.

Robin’s brother getting ready before the wedding. I love the light coming in the window and his is such a handsome young man!

Peonies are in season. They were the main flower at both my weddings this weekend and my favorite flower!

I love this photo of Robin and her father before the ceremony. Everyone at this wedding was just overjoyed for this couple!

The happy couple leaving the ceremony.

Robin and her mother right after the exit.

I call this the green acres photo, no really I love this simple photo of the couple holding hands in the vineyard.

This moment was over in a split second. I’m not sure what the secret was but these two were so cute. The ring bearers wore white converse!

In the vineyard, but in color.

This was a great moment. The couple didn’t know their wedding party was going to throw petals as they walked in. Made for a really great photo.

The guests and couple sat at a long table and the only light in the room was candlelight. It was beautiful!

After dinner I spent a few minutes with Robin down in the wine cellar area. The light was really cool.

Did I mention Robin is a model?

Mark and his father during the reception. I really like the emotion in this photo. Mark was emotional all day. He even wrote a poem for Robin and read it to her! What a great guy.

Of course the first dance!
