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.

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.
