Napa Valley Wedding Photography | Karl and Subadra

November 21, 2009 7:41 am

One of my favorite things about a wedding day is when a couple opts to do a first sight. It not only helps the timeline of the wedding but it allows for a small time alone together without the hustle and bustle of the wedding day. When Karl and Subadra had their first sight Karl did the happy dance. I have to say it was THE cutest thing EVER! She looked stunning and I think it really started the day off well ;) After taking a few portraits in the olive grove at Auberge du Soleil we took a quick trip down the road to find some vine with yummy fall colors. And that we did! We then went back for their ceremony which was a blend of both Western and Indian traditions. After dinner the dance floor was on fire… you two can dance!

Site: Auberge du Soleil

Flowers: Garden Party

This is the Mangala sutra that Karl placed around Subadras neck during the ceremony. In Western culture this would the equivalent of placing a ring on each others fingers. The most important part of an Indian wedding ceremony is when Karl places this necklace around her.

As favors Subadra and Karl gave each of their guests a small dish from India… I thought it tied perfectly into the day with the colors and the blend of cultures:napavalleyweddingphotography_002

Auberge du Soleil Wedding Photography | Teresa and Vince

September 29, 2009 9:47 am

This day was a little different than most days… we started the day off with a first sight! We started right into photos of Teresa and Vince so that they could enjoy the rest of their wedding day. I cant tell you how often I hear from my couples that they were happy they finished all of their photos before the ceremony. More time to visit with out of town guests and let yourself enjoy the evening. Teresa and Vince took it a  step further and completed all of the family photos beforehand too! We visited a few sites around Napa Valley before returning to Auberge du Soleil where their ceremony and reception took place. The rest of the day was fun and relaxed with 5 star food and a little bit of dancing with the stars action! (see last photo)

Vince and Teresa: you two are such beautiful people inside and out… I’m so glad you two met by chance, it was truly meant to be. Hope the reception in Italy was fabulous and you brought a few new recipes back to share ;)

Venue: Auberge du Soleil

Flowers: Nancy Lui Chin Designs

Auberge du Soleil Rutherford Wedding Photography | Nathan & Louisa

September 2, 2009 6:44 pm

Nathan and Louisa know how to party! Two amazing days in a row… the first day being a welcome dinner at Merryvale Winery in St Helena. The Spanish theme was a nod to Nathans Spanish roots. The night was complete with paella from Gerard’s Paella + sparkly red shoes to continue the theme. Both days wouldnt have been possible without the wonderfully talented Dee Merz taking care of all of the details.

quite possibly the sexiest shoes on the face of the planet!rehearsaldinneratmerryvalesthelena0003

The next big day was the wedding day, held at Auberge du Soleil. My favorite flower hands down is blue hydrangea, so Louisa’s bouquet spoke to my heart:weddingataubergedusoleilrutherford_0001

They opted for a first sight, so that they could enjoy the party later… and I think Nathan’s face was soooo worth doing photos beforehand:weddingataubergedusoleilrutherford_0002weddingataubergedusoleilrutherford_0003weddingataubergedusoleilrutherford_0004

Ive said it before and I’ll say it again… I love it when a couple opts to add lighting to a room. It adds that extra special touch. Lighting by The Lux. theluxlightingcompany

Hope you two are enjoying the Mediterranean!
