Paradise Ridge Winery Wedding Photography | Greer + Peter


Getting to photograph a wedding at the Paradise Ridge Winery is such a treat!  I love photographing in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country so much – the views, the light, the whole feel…  And it certainly doesn’t hurt when first, right from the get go the already beautiful bride shows up made extra gorgeous by Mia Munselle of Belle of the Ball.   Then I get to shoot this very well-matched, wonderful couple in love and their awesome family and friends, most of whom flew in for this destination wedding.  Of course I already knew the whole event was guaranteed to flow beautifully, since it was in the hands of Samar Hattar of Blissful Events.  And I got to end the night by popping a tasty cupcake in my mouth from Bijoux Cupcakes – yum!  (It was just one of the leftovers, really! ;-) )

Palmdale Estates Wedding Photography | Julie + Mitch


Here is my latest attempt to streamline blog postings a little bit… a few less photos, but getting more weddings up there!  Besides the beautiful couple and venue, what made Julie & Mitch’s wedding so wonderful were all the great personal aspects to this event.  Among my favorites were all the opportunities that Mitch and Julie took to include and honor Mitch’s daughter Kayla (she’s the one clicking the point & shoot).  Kayla definitely made my night, ‘cause I think she takes the prize for flower girl best able to rip up the dance floor ever!  She made us all adults look lethargic at her side.  The ceremony was a perfect blend of the couple’s emotions and the officiant’s hilarious sense of humor… Enjoy!

Venue:  Palmdale Estates

Officiant:  Minister Joseph Steinke
