Bride before the wedding, sepia Churchill Manor Napa, CA

From 2005, this is one of the oldest weddings I’ve posted on this blog. (I have a very rigorous process for deciding what to post. I reach blindly into the drawer where I keep all of the old contracts, and pull one out at random.) I was using older equipment, and I had hundreds fewer weddings under my belt (at this point I’ve shot over 600 professional gigs, including weddings, portraits, corporate events, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs etc…) but I am still happy with my work, looking back.

Angela and Steven got ready at Churchill Manor in Napa, had a ceremony at Marsha’s Vineyard in Napa, and a reception at the Pelusi Building also in Napa.

Please take a look at the image above, and the image below. These are the same image, and the second one has been converted to Black and White. Back in the bad old days, you had to pick which you wanted to shoot, but now,I shoot everything in color and convert the ones I want to see in black and white. I think it words very well.

Bride and Groom Formal Portrait under Oak Hahn Estates in Soledad Black and white

Yesterday, I got a photo order from Maria and Adam. I hadn’t thought of their wedding in a few months, and the photo order was a nice reminder. I especially like the black and white shot of them under the Oak Tree. Something about it seems so eternal.

They got married at the Hahn Estates in Soledad, a Vineyard.
