Pleasanton Summer Winery Wedding

WOWWW! This might’ve been the best golden hour I’ve ever photographed. Lauren and Stefan’s joy was so contagious and their day was filled with so much fun and laughter - exactly how a wedding day should be! After both getting ready onsite at opposite ends of Nella Terra, we met on the bridge with the beautiful vineyard background. Following their first kook, we did their wedding party and immediate family photos - something I always recommend so these guests can immediately enjoy cocktail hour after ceremony without waiting around for photos!

A MOMENT FOR THE DETAILS! Stefan actually made the stunning wood seating chart with personalized coasters and friends put together hundreds of origami cranes for the photo-booth backdrop. The tables-capes were a perfect mix of rustic and romantic. After busting in with an impromptu synchronized shuffle entrance, I whisked them away to capture their sunset portraits. As you can see, the sun #blessed us with the most stunning sunset before disappearing behind the hills. Once we returned the party really started!! Lauren changed into a shorter dress so she could get her twerk on and Stefan surprised guests by joining the band on the drums.

After postponing their date due to the pandemic, the wait was absolutely worth it and the day was as magical as them!
