Napa Valley Bridal Portrait Photography

Here’s a couple for Patricia whose wedding I am photographing in July. We started off at Spa Voutique for her bridal make up trial, then headed out for a fun bridal session. I must say, she looks GORGEOUS!

Sultry Sonoma Couture Bridal Session

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!

Something Sultry…

Napa Valley Wedding ~ Meritage Resort Wedding Photography

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 in the Napa Valley.

Here are a few more fashion inspired shots from Brenna’s Bridal Session! Make up by Shannon at Spa Voutique.

Brenna’s Bridals

Shannon — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:36:15 +0000

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!

Bridal Couture Sessions!

Shannon — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:43:00 +0000

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
