Sultry Sonoma Couture Bridal Session

Monday, March 22, 2010

I’m so excited that Kimberly’s May wedding is almost here!  She booked me 15 months ago, so it’s almost surreal that the big day is right around the corner.  Since I also offer bridal make up services to my clients through Spa Voutique, we decided to schedule a trial run.  The fabulous Holly with “I Do! Bridal”  will be doing Kim’s hair on the wedding day, so we scheduled her trial run for hair the same day.  It only seemed fitting to get a few shots of her looking fabulous!   Thanks Kim for a fun day!

Napa Valley Wedding ~ Meritage Resort Wedding Photography

Saturday, November 14, 2009

Well I have been a busy girl processing all my fabulous fall weddings.  It really was a memorable season filled with the best clients and gorgeous weddings.  It’s hard to find time to blog more than a few images from each wedding sometimes……..but I plan to keep you updated with additional posts in the coming months.   Thought I would share a few more from Tarah and John’s  lovely wedding at the Meritage Resort.

Brenna’s Bridals

Thursday, July 30, 2009

You probably remember Brenna from her engagement session in the Napa Valley earlier this year.  Brenna is beautiful inside and out……….not to mention a pure joy to work with!   We got together yesterday at her family home for a quick session just because, and had a blast.  I applied her make up to accentuate her gorgeous eyes!  Just stunning!!!!  Thanks Brenna for letting me share, and I will see you Saturday at the wedding!

Shannon,

Thank you so very much for your awesome work, we can’t wait to see the rest. Of course we thing both Brenna and Wayne are stunning subjects, what mom wouldn’t? You were great to work with and you are a true professional.

Heartfelt regards,

Kathy, It was an honor to be a part of Brenna and Wayne’s wedding day! I so enjoyed getting to know them, and the wedding day was gorgeous. Thank you (and the rest of the family) for your warmth and hospitality!

Bridal Couture Sessions!

Monday, July 7, 2008

I’m so excited to announce that I have officially added a Bridal Couture Collection to my list of services!
My first official Couture Shots were with Jennifer. The wedding was held at the Old Whaling Station in Monterey, a quaint little venue with lots of character.
Jennifer was a gorgeous and fun bride who did tons of acting on stage. She felt really comfortable in front of the camera and we did an impromptu “boudoir session” on her wedding day during the getting ready phase. I was immediately hooked on creating such beautiful images. Naturally, as more of this type of work surfaced on my website, I received more calls from brides who were interested in being photographed this way on their wedding day………….and from those who wanted to do a session pre-wedding.
To celebrate, I decided to dig into my archived files for some of those shots that started it all………..and create this piece. Thanks Jennifer! Shannon
