Healdsburg Wedding Photography

It’s been an amazing ride with Laura and Scott. After we met, they flew me out to document their engagement session in Chicago! A couple months later, I found myself at this gorgeous, private Healdburg estate. I delight in Healdsburg wedding photography, because the wine country gives me a chance to escape the San Francisco fog. It’s an amazing feeling to step out into a warm evening after the day cools off. Healdsburg is especially magical in the fall, because that’s when the grapes are collected. The entire wine country region has the pungent smell of the harvest.

To get to Laura and Scott’s wedding, I had to pass through three security gates and drive up a long, winding tree-lined road. But my journey up to the wine country from San Francisco was comparatively short. Since they chose to make Healdsburg their wedding destination, Laura and Scott invited distant friends and family. Almost all guests flew in from out of town. Off The Beaten Path Weddings did an impeccable job of organizing the day. As a result, everything ran smoothly and the couple truly reveled in their wedding experience.

The day was full of color everywhere I looked. Sunny blue skies reigned. The kitchen had these gorgeous green cabinets, so of course I immediately asked Laura to finish her makeup there. The swimming pool shimmered a deep, radiant blue, and therefore I invited the wedding party to pose for a reflection shot.

The couple had one of the most entertaining first looks I’ve ever seen. Typically the bride shows the groom a little something, but this time, Scott also got in on the act. Scott and Laura wrote very moving vows. Much as the photos show their love and connection, I highly recommend watching the wedding video I made for them. It captures the feel of their day, their first look, and the words they spoke.

The couple looked stunning, because both of them found just the perfect wedding outfits. Laura had a lacy country dress, and Scott had a relaxed grey suit. Scott’s son, Tavin, looked very handsome (just like dad) and was having a blast as one of the wedding guests of honor. When Tavin made his appearance on the dance floor, the party really got started! Scott and Laura, I am glad that I was able to exceed your expectations. While you partied late into the night, seems like the day went by in a flash! Thank you for your energy, your friendship, and for allowing me the privilege of being among your community to document your wedding day!
