On their engagement session I had the idea to have a picnic. So we went out to a wooded area and the two of them shared fresh strawberries on a blanket. It was a really fun shoot.
Fast-forward nearly twelve months and their wedding day was upon me. They were married out at Talon Winery. Talon is just so gorgeous. I am convinced they play by different rules out there. It never rains and the sky is always the most beautiful color. And the lighting -- ah, the lighting is always so perfect. Let's not forget to mention that we are surrounded by wine and well, that is never a bad thing!
Andrea and her bridesmaids are a hoot. While they were getting ready in the dressing room at the tasting house all kinds of craziness occurred -- which included but was not limited to -- a bridesmaid doing plies for entertainment.
The ceremony was gorgeous. It was a true stilled moment in time. The wind softly blew (although it strongly blew Andrea's veil! Thank goodness for a quick maid of honor!) and the birds quietly chirped in the background. It was so serene and beautiful.
After the ceremony we took the whole gang out to photograph everyone. The bridal party were non-stop and some very fun portraits came from the time we had. David's two brothers were in his bridal party and they took turns picking each other up. Something I am sure they understand. ;) But I was never a big nor a little brother! ;)
The flowers were gorgeous and once again done by the ever lovely, Hollie Chambliss. DaRae and Friends did the catering and it looked delicious!
Finally then the two, Andrea and David, headed out for their (much needed!) honeymoon via a sparkler exit for the books (there were like 200 people with really long sparklers who were really, really excited -- it was a sight!). When Andrea came to see me a week or so later for her bridal session she told me they were back to packing again -- off to live in Chicago this time. Again, a fantastic couple and amazing clients. Just call me the luckiest girl around!
