Napa California Vineyard Wedding

______________________________________________________________

Melissa & Trevor’s Napa Valley wedding celebration took place nestled in the vineyards on a hot hot Napa summer day. I know Melissa from college and it was such a joy and sweet honor to photograph her and Trevor’s celebration. The day was filled with so much love, ease, and joy, and was made extra special because it was at her family’s home. Aside from that unique twist, the two had actually eloped a year before (they said “I Do” in the mountains in Yosemite and it looked so magical), so this celebration was really that – a big, happy, fun filled celebration of their love. They didn’t have a ceremony, but instead welcomed guests to the lawn next to their big red barn for cocktail hour, had dinner under a gorgeous white tent amongst the vines, and then danced the night away under twinkle lights and stars. It really was perfect.

Photographing these two was just the best. Melissa is a person that radiates joy and beauty every day, but on this she was glowing. She looked stunning in her Amy Kuschel dress and Trevor looked dapper in his Ted Baker London suit. Melissa’s sister Meredith is an extremely talented florist and surprised her with a gorgeous, perfect bouquet, and all of the details and decor were unbelievably gorgeous. I loved the pears used in the decor during the dinner, and could have photographed the dinner setting area allllll night.

Melissa & Trevor – THANK YOU for letting me capture this celebration. I’m so so so happy for you two and the beautiful life you’re creating together and can’t wait to come visit you guys in Seattle <3
