Denise and Kris -

Love, Family, Friends and Wine! It doesn't get any better than that!



Kim and I were once again reminded just how lucky we are, when we traveled to Santa Rosa to photograph the wedding of Denise and Kris. Amazing people, beautiful locations, and a lots of laughter. It just doesn't get better than this!

Denise got ready at her parents' home in Santa Rosa, along with her 13 bridesmaids!



Denise's nieces could not stop looking at their Auntie!



K: Super smiles all around.


K: I love how Kris smiles with his whole face. He had this smile going the whole day!


The ceremony took place at the Star of the Valley Church, also in Santa Rosa.

K: Kris and his groomsmen were just about the funnest group of guys we've hung out with in a while. I'd tell you about the peep show we got earlier in the day when the guys were getting ready, but I think we will keep it all to ourselves ;)!

And then there was the girls! Talk about eye candy! After the ceremony, we moved across the street to the Polo Fields-- have you ever seen so many pretty bridesmaids at one time???




K: Check out how good they are in front of the camera! This is the couple that, before we meet them, was sure they didn't like getting their picture taken and thought they were not good at posing..... PL-EASE!


K: Helloo gorgeous-ness!

N: We were smack dab in the middle of photographing Denise and Kris when one of Kris's groomsmen arrived with Denise's wedding present-- sweet!
K: It was cute because at first Denise was looking at the bike like "hey that's cool bike"... it took her a moment to realize it was for her!



The party moved on to Trione Vineyards and Winery, a place near and dear to our couple. This is Denise's family winery, and she is a third generation wine maker here! Loved this place!



N: Kim shot these beautiful portraits of Denise upstairs, while guests mingled below. The light was incredible!





K: Kris and his brother were so much fun to be around.



We stole Denise and Kris away from the party to sneak out in the vines and have some fun!




N: I could not believe there was a train track right there by the vines! We love train tracks! :)







Ice cream sammies! Yum!
