Thomas Fogarty Winery Wedding Photography, Woodside, CA | Tess + Aaron


Thomas Fogarty Winery Wedding Photography, Woodside, CA wedding photos

I had to start this post off with a photo, ’cause I am seriously in love with it!  (no Photoshop, just straight low-light shooting).  It also serves as a pretty good introduction to all the sweetness, radiance and in-love-ness (that’s a technical term!) of Tess & Aaron’s wedding that took place recently at the Thomas Fogarty Winery.  If you’ve never been there, it is quite a breathtakingly beautiful Bay Area wedding venue in Woodside.  Both med students at UCSF and marathon runners that lived together before they started dating, Tess and Aaron have a unique love story with strong spiritual leanings that I had the pleasure to watch culminate on this lovely wedding day that you are about to peek at.  Enjoy, and my heartfelt best wishes to the two of you, Tess & Aaron!

Gundlach-Bundschu Winery, Sonoma Wedding Photography | Kate + Geoff


I’m excited to finally share some photos from Kate & Geoff’s gorgeous Sonoma wedding day!  Truth be told I’ve been excited about this wedding the whole way along… from the very first phone call I got from Kate’s mom, where I quickly got the sense that I was going to be witnessing the coming together of two very special and loving families, to finding out I was going to get to work with the wonderful planners at A Savvy Event, to shooting the whole beautiful day at Gundlach-Bundschu Winery, to looking through so many great photos (If I do say so myself ;-) ) that I couldn’t choose how to edit!  This was a partial destination wedding for Kate & Geoff, who used to live in California.  The couple and their families treated their 200+ guests to a delightful day, complete with ceremony seating overlooking Gundlach-Bundschu’s valley of vineyards in perfect weather, amazing food & wine, an organic gelato dessert bar brought in on a bicycle (!!), and a glow-stick dance floor extravaganza.  Congratulations to the two of you, and may your now-combined families continue to grow and prosper!

Rehearsal Dinner:  El Dorado Kitchen, Sonoma, CA

Planner:  Kelly McLeskey-Dolata, A Savvy Event
