Carrie & Mike

August 20

St. Helena, California

From the Planner: “Carrie and Mike came out from Ohio to Sonoma, CA as a referral from another of my brides. The wanted to create an excursion for their guests and we gave them a fantastic wine country experience and showcased both the Napa and Sonoma valleys in all their beauty over four amazing days. On day one, we started out on the Sonoma side touring fabulous wineries including BR Cohn, Cline Cellars and Jacuzzi Family vineyards. On day two, we experienced the Napa side at Alpha Omega, Flora Springs and White Hall Lane, followed by a delicious rehearsal dinner at Hurley’s in Yountville. Day three – wedding day was at the Harvest Inn in St. Helena….one of the most romantic places in the valley. The bride was gifted by her parents, her grandmother’s diamond bracelet and a beautiful Tiffany’s pearl necklace from her loving groom and a note that left us all in tears. Unfortunately months prior to the wedding, the bride faced some health challenges and his letter not only professed his love for her, but that no matter what, he would be there for her till his last breath. Our final day of this wine country wedding was capped off with a ride on the Wine Train, complete with a gourmet dinner and wines from all of the wineries we visited. The perfect way for guests to relax and unwind before heading back home.”

Santa Rosa, California

This bride and groom are from Massachusetts and wanted a wine country destination wedding. We love the color choices for the flowers mixed with the turquoise vases and tropical foliage. Such a different feel for a vineyard wedding – and so perfect above a wine barrel!

Erin + Kevin

July 2011

Templeton, California

From the Photographer: “Erin and Kevin were married at a secluded beach north of Santa Cruz, Ca. The location was private and on a bluff overlooking the ocean. A small group of friends and family were there to witness the ceremony, and waiting for them were all their friends and family at the reception at Pomar Junction Winery. Erin was just beautiful in her vintage lace inspired dress, vintage jewelry, and bird cage veil. The reception was on a vineyard with an old train car and vintage beat up truck which I just LOVED! The tables were decorated with mason jar vases filled with flowers and buttons. There was a blue grass band called Cuesta Ridge, tractor rides around the vineyard, and a photo booth. It was the perfect evening of moonlit dancing!” ~ Heather, of Heather Scharf Photography
