Bay Area Wedding- Sarah and Peter

The wedding of Sarah and Peter was held in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains at the Thomas Fogarty Winery.  This location was stunning.  I went up for the Rehearsal to check out and I was stunned by the scenic views.  It was breathtaking to see the view of the valley from the ceremony site.  The Thomas Fogarty Winery is set on rolling hills.  The winery itself is a maze of hills and it is so beautiful to see the vineyards that way.  I highly recommend the Thomas Fogarty Winery if you are looking for a place in the South Bay area to get married.  The staff was outstanding as well.

My good friend and awesome photographer, Betsey McCue, joined me for this wedding and took some killer detail shots while I was shooting the family.

Their grandmothers were just the sweetest ladies.  They needed their own portrait!

After the wedding was over we jumped in a car and went down to the vineyard for some pictures at my favorite time of day with my favorite light.  The Thomas Fogarty Winery was so great about letting us use their property for some images.  Note: no grapes were harmed during this shoot.

It was looking for the perfect vineyard for the night time spot and we came across this spot.  It was not until the coordinator came up that I realized we were in the wine makers back yard.  Oops but so amazing, right?  He was smart to make this his view as well.  Mr. Thomas Fogarty, thank you for letting us use your backyard!

At the very end of the night when I had completely worn them out and worn out my welcome at the Thomas Fogarty Winery the couple had one last request: a picture with me.  I was honored.  Sarah and Peter you are such an incredible couple and I was so blessed to have been there to capture your day.
