KATE + TAYLOR’S SONOMA WEDDING

kellyboitano — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 22:13:21 +0000

It didn’t take more than 5 minutes of Skyping with these two sweet people to find out that the three loves of their life were their friends, their family, and the Fourth of July – so for them, an Independence Day wedding with 100 of their favorite people was the perfect choice.

And their venue, Vine Hill House, was the perfect place for this intimate affaire – hidden on a hilltop in Northern California wine country with a picturesque view of hundreds and hundreds of acres of vineyards. The valley glowed golden as they sat down to eat, and when the sun had set, the sky lit up in the red, white and blue firework finale from the next town over.

Kate and Taylor are one of the happiest couples I’ve ever witnessed – their contagious joy and love for each other (and for Independence Day) made this a truly unforgettable wedding, and a special day that I will be re-living this Fourth of July as my husband and I take a drive north to watch the ‘bombs bursting in air’ over that same valley.

Pati + Shawn Romantic Wedding

Pati and Shawn’s obsession with each other is the kind that makes you fall in love with them, whether you even know them personally or not.

Friends, family, strangers walking by on the street during their engagement shoot – whoever you are, if you are ever privileged enough to witness these two doing what they do best (being adorable with each other), then you will understand what I mean when I say that there was nothing I could do to resist becoming totally smitten by these beautiful people. (Not that I would ever try to resist these two…Who would?? Look how cute they are!!)

Thanks Pati and Shawn, for being a living, breathing reminder of why love is the best thing in the world, and for reminding me that being able to capture special moments like yours makes my job an honor, a dream, and a total party, all rolled in to one.

Pati + Shawn decided not to see each other before the ceremony but they did want to hold hands, sing and give each other gifts.. with a door in between them
