For Jackie and Keith, “love at first sight” is no cliché. Their connection was clear and strong from the first time they met. No longer in their twenties and having ample life experience afforded them the clarity to want to solidify their commitment to each other through marriage AND to keep the celebration small and focused on their closest community of friends and family.
To this end, they planned an incredible Napa Valley wedding weekend in the wine country north of the San Francisco Bay Area – complete with a welcome lunch and drinks at Tres Sabores Winery, a sweet get-ready session at Southbridge Hotel, a heartfelt ceremony in the vineyard fields behind Gary’s Marketplace, and a delicious and festive dinner and celebration at Press Restaurant.
These two are so beautiful. They truly shine together and I felt lucky to witness their love, connection and intimate Napa Valley wedding – now forever captured in photos. I loved the way Keith and Jackie got ready together instead of seperatly like a traditional wedding. Capturing intimate and unique weddings for all types of couples is something that is so special to me. I love when couples are able to celebrate their love in an intimate way with just their closest friends and family, and there are so many options for locations around the Bay Area to hold a heartfelt ceremony just like Jackie and Keith did.
“Laura made our small wedding dreams come true! We wanted to keep things simple and Laura promised and delivered. Besides taking beautiful pictures and being very professional and easy to work with, Laura was a calming presence for me on the day of the wedding. She has a way about her. I really appreciated her guidance in our discussions leading up to the wedding and on the day of. The photographs are gorgeous and she managed to get every shot we could have asked for! She captured candid moments I don’t remember happening and certainly didn’t realize she was even there. We are so grateful to have had her photograph our wedding and I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much again and again!”
