Photographing Marriage Proposals

A beautiful beginning to the wedding story… documenting the marriage proposal. I’ve photographed many proposals at Kistler Vineyards, a stunning location in Sonoma County. I start the shoot by camoflouging myself, the ultimate in unobtrusive photography.

I’m hiding behind a parked car to get this image without being noticed.

I live for these moments!

Now the engagement shoot…

Getting them to smile is easy.

Spring is coming in Sonoma County and the yellow mustard is blooming everywhere.

It’s raining but you’d never know.

A winery is an easy choice for background. The rain creates a gorgeous mood.

I’m a few rows up, covered in vineyard dust.

My final galleries always include both color and black and white images.

A sucessful phtograph will transport you.

Love and laughter.

Another yes.
