That is, what it feels like to be in the presence of two people who have so much respect, admiration, and love for each other that it is thick in the air. Krista and Tim are one such couple. Not only did their verbal expression of their feelings for each other bring tears to my eyes, their non-verbal expression and connection touched in me a very deep way.

While every wedding I have the honor to photograph is joyful and beautiful in its own unique way, this one will hold a special place in my heart. Photographing their wedding was a great experience not only because they are a fun couple, and BoaVentura de Caires Vinyeard in Livermore, CA is a beautiful place, but also because their love for each other left me happy, energized and inspired. To Tim and Krista: thank you for choosing me as the lucky person to document your very special day!

There were just too many special moments from the day to post them all here, but here are some of my favorite wedding photos from our day at Boa Ventura de Caires Vineyard:

Krista enjoying some of her own home brew. With temps in the mid-90′s in Livermore that day,it was a perfect choice for a refreshing drink. Yum!

The grounds at BoaVentura Vineyards are perfect for a wedding. Just large enough for a nice sized wedding (125 people), yet small enough for an intimate feel. And, what a great view….vineyards filed with ripening grapes and the Livermore Valley.

Tim and Krista’s first sighting. Boy, were they excited to see each other!

Some of the greatest flamenco dancing I’ve seen!


Of course they had to taste the grapes in the BoaVentura vineyard!


One of my favorite moments of the day. So sweet!


We found this great old door down the road at a neighboring vineyard in Livermore. It made for some great shots, including this one!
