I had the opportunity to photograph Adam and Sarah's big day last Saturday.  Here a few of the results so far.

This one up here is my favorite of the day.  It looks like they are standing under a shower of light.

Here are a few more from our weekend in Sonoma California

Hollie

This is the exact antique shot I wanted from this wedding.  Perfect expression of the emotion of the day.  My favorite...not quite, but almost

Normally I save my HDR (high dynamic range) for the landscape photos, but this was irrestistable

Dude! ~ what else can I say

This spot was awesome.  Overlooking the vineyard of Gundlach Bundschu we realized how great wedding photos could be.

Hollie gave us a toast in the caverns of this wonderful winery.  No flash, just wonderful ambient light.

She's a coach, so what better option for this group shot!?  The old high school basketball pose.  I've got a few of these in my closet.  This team looks good.

OK, this is my favorite...I'm pretty sure

But the natural emotion behind this one might make IT my favorite

Port and Cigar Bar to close out the night for the guys.  Nice processing? Yes, Nelli imagined this tone for the photo and I am grateful

All around a fun time

Yesterday Amy and I got to shoot Jenn and Patrick's wedding out in Avon.  Sky's were cloudy and blue, grass was green, temperature was in the 70's... and Jenn was absolutely beautiful!

Look at her eyes!

I loved the bridesmaid bouquet's... pink and green

We did some of the artistic shots inside the courthouse... (which is a great place in case of rain)

This is probably my favorite of the day:

This was so sweet... Patrick wanted a pic of him and Jenn swinging!

Or this might be my favorite of the day...  this was taken in the parking lot!

and this last shot of them was at the Avon Oaks Country Club, a great location for a reception.

a few of the big group!  :)

Thanks for letting us spend the day with you guys... you are both so sweet and we wish you the best of luck!

A friend of mine, J.T. Daly (below), is a singer and instrumentalist in the band Paper route. They recently signed to Mowtown - you can check them out here: www.paperrouteonline.com

I think I enjoy this one below of Andy Smith the best (but it is a hard call).

I just got back from an extraordinary weekend in Sonoma California where Hollie and Craig were married this weekend.  Each portion of the day was outstanding: from the trolley ride to a luncheon in a spectacular wine cellar to the reception at Sebastianni Winery.  There will be more to come, but here are a few for now.

Hollie and Craig treated us so well throughout the day and were such a pleasure to work with, that Nelli and I had to sneak in a final pic of the four of us before we left.
