To be back around people filled with joy, to be surrounded by love, to be in a wildly picturesque California valley . . . after this last year and a half, it’s hard to put into words just how good this felt. To be photographing Katie and Jessi, the two of the most beautiful people inside and out, made this one of my favorite weekends, personal or professional, in a long time.
These stunning brides chose to shape their wedding in the way that felt best to them, opting for lots of time with family and friends at the resort, on strolls through the vineyard, during the cocktail hour nestled against the hills, at a glowing dinner, and side-by-side at the ultimate karaoke night. It was so clear how important community – both born into and built – are to these two. And the fact that they were able to celebrate their marriage alongside so many of their people in person made it an incredible day to be a part of.
