Heather and Ryan were married this weekend at David Girard Vineyard.
The weather was perfect! They couldnt have asked for a better day.The bride and groom were stunning! They had 8 gorgeous and handsome groomsmen and bridesmaids on each side plus a very cute flower girl and ring bearer. They had a lovely ceremony which is always my favorite part of the day. I love that we get to document it because so many times it goes by so quickly and the bride and groom are caught up in the day and it goes by like a whirlwind. They dont get to see it from our vantage points which is the probably the third best place to be! Theirs of course is the first and then second would the officiant! They get to be up there and can see all the faces of the people there while we get the back and sides unless we get the privilege of being at a venue where you can slip into an inconspicuous place behind and to the sides of the officiant. That is when we get to catch the moms and dads and grandparents which we love to get. If we can or cant we still get that sweeping shot of the whole front of the altar area which is always an important shot. The back of the dress and hair/veil is a must!
Here is a new one! I had an assistant at this wedding! I get so sore the day after weddings, so I decided to treat myself and hired Brennan (Robin Michelini’s son) my right hand man!!! He rocked as he carried all my equipment and helped me with all my lens changes I do…what a treat! Thank you Brennan!!!
Here is a quick edit of one of their photographs from their wedding…
We wish Heather and Ryan a long and happy marriage!!!

Wow, that’s right out of a romance novel. I can totally imagine Heather and Ryan having an enlargement of this above their fireplace or something.
Hi Kerri,
Wow, I love that image of Heather and Ryan, I bet they were thrilled with all your hard work, and having Brennan there to be your assistant must have been just so good.
