Yin Yin & Fred's Winery Wedding - Napa, CA

I was lucky enough to have another fantastic journey out to the Wine Country to second shoot for Kirsten of Kirsten Julia Photography last summer.  I absolutely love seeing new areas and venues, and this was yet another place that did not disappoint!  I met up with Kirsten at a cute winery tucked way off of the public road, and boy was it a hidden treasure.  Yin Yin & Fred were a fantastic couple, and had a stunning wedding full of love and happiness.
Instead of having a traditional first look in wedding wear, Yin Yin & Fred had a separate outfit in mind and we utilized this fantastic pond & horse trail on the property.
After we got back to the venue, the couple parted ways to get in to their ceremony attire. Kirsten & I photographed some details of their rings and fantastic ring box before heading in to check on how Yin Yin & her ladies were doing.
Sooner than expected, it was time for the ceremony outside. It was such a sweet & intimate area for their family that traveled from near and far, far away.
I love how unique Yin Yin's dress was. I have never seen anything quite like it before!
After their sweet ceremony, everyone was off to cocktail hour for some fun photos and a tour of the winery. I have to say, I've never been on a tour like this before, and it was very interesting to see all the parts of the wine process.
Everyone, and I truly mean EVERYONE, stopped to look at the little frog. So of course, he had to be included as part of the wedding day!
Following dinner, Fred's family had a little presentation for him & his lovely new bride. It was as cute as could be.
I just think these little birds are the cutest cake toppers I have seen in a long time. So simple, and yet so timeless.
Huge thanks again to Kirsten for having me join her for another fun wedding! Always a blast getting to do what I love with other fantastic photographers :)
