September was a great month. I did a lot of traveling and soaked up sunshine wherever I could find it, returning to SF to enjoy the days of Indian Summer. Another highlight from last month was a visit to Hans Fahden. This warm, intimate winery always evokes a fun, casual atmosphere among the guests, but Scott and Natalie truly made it their own. Beautiful decorations graced the patio, as the stylish guests mingled and enjoyed rosemary champagne. Each table in the cave was dedicated to a U2 album – the couple’s favorite band and an important connection in their relationship. You may remember Scott and Natalie’s engagement session at the Legion of Honor and Chez Spencer. Well, Scott and Natalie looked even more stunning together, and the comfort and trust we built during that session really led to some super fun moments during the wedding. The ceremony was beautifully officiated by Reverend Peadar Dalton. Things got exceptionally silly during the formal photos, and I was grateful that the couple’s families and friends were so relaxed around the camera! It was a hot day in Calistoga, and as the evening approached and things cooled down, we ventured out into the vineyards. The evening was still pleasantly warm, the light was perfect, and Scott and Natalie looked as if they were walking on air. We returned just in time for the first dance. The dance floor was aglow in orange and purple, and packed all night – especially during the U2 covers!
