A Sonoma Vineyard Dinner
I’ve worked with the owners of Garden Creek Vineyards for years, photographing family portrait sessions and dinner events. The vinyard is a magical place. Time feels suspended. The winery’s compact size and relaxed vibe create an inviting ambiance. This dinner was held on a hilltop, overlooking the property. The cooking was done on site, which added an interactive element. Watching the meal being created, while the orange glow of sunset lights up the vines…inspiration is everywhere.
Harvest coming soon.
The owners of Garden Creek Winery.
All is well.
A chilled soup to start.
One of many toasts.
Al fresco awesomeness.
Ocean to table.
A glorious finish.
Until next year….
Photographing Marriage Proposals
A beautiful beginning to the wedding story, documenting the marriage proposal with still photography.
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.

A sucessful phtograph will transport you.
Love and laughter.
Another yes.
