We so enjoyed photographing Stephanie and Michael’s intimate Wine Country Wedding at Madrona Manor!

They shared a room, got dressed together, and just really enjoyed the process and preparations for the ceremony.

It was wonderful to watch Stephanie admire Michael as he put on his tie, and hear Michael whisper to her how pretty she looked. Congratulations and much happiness!
