I don't know about you, but I love going to the river, drinking wine, photographing in great light, and walking along the waterfront. For most people, all these things would make for a packed weekend, but for Kerri and Kevin, it was just their engagement session. We started in Sausalito for some waterfront pictures near Le Garage where they had their first date. Then we got a private look at MacMurray Ranch where we were in photo heaven - the light could not have been more gorgeous, and the grounds and vineyards of the ranch were so beautiful. We were also the only ones there, so we were able to explore to our hearts' content. We finished their session along the river with their dogs Zito and Pogo, who couldn't stay out of the water. Kerri and Kevin are getting hitched in just a few weeks, and we can't wait for their wedding, which I know will be gorgeous and a blast!

gorgeous fall wedding at viansa winery Amy and Brett flew out from New York to be with their family in California wine country at the Viansa Winery for their Halloween weekend wedding. Sonoma was warm and sunny with no hint of the winds that we experienced during their engagement shoot at the winery last May. You couldn't have asked for a nicer day.

To my delight, after dinner all 130 guest stood up and began to dance in unison. Surprise: Flash Mob! This amassing feat was coordinated by the fun committee of Teresa and Rob, Judith and Tom's sister and brother, respectively. You might remember Judith and Tom's wedding which we photographed back in '09.

Amy and Brett's wedding was all about family and fun. Brett's sister married the couple, and they didn't even seem to mind when their ceremony was interrupted by a nephew who just want to say "hello". Their first dance was choreographed and provided a great deal of entertainment, and the dance floor props ranged from feather boas to flashing rave lights and glow sticks. There was an overwhelming feeling of closeness and joy throughout the day.
