Olga, Jaime, their families and friends flew in from New York and converged on Napa Valley for several days of celebration. It all culminated in a beautiful Jewish wedding ceremony and a fabulous party. Since their Napa same sex wedding was at a private estate, nestled deep in the wine country hills, the huge band (who also flew in from New York City) rocked the wedding tent well into the night. Throughout the two days I spent with the brides, many close people took the microphone to share hilarious stories and kind words about Jaime and Olga. Listening to all of these moments from the couple’s life together was an amazing and intimate experience for me, and I felt very grateful to be able to document such personal events. It was also beautiful to see how connected Jaime and Olga were. Speaking of connection, the chuppah for the ceremony was beautifully and organically crafted using a canopy that fastened to the tress already planted on the property. That’s what this Napa same sex wedding felt like – Olga and Jaime officially sealing the love that has united them for so long. Planning such a magnificent, multi-day Napa same sex wedding from across the country is no easy feat. The incomparable Kathy Higgins expertly brought Olga and Jaime’s dream to life!
