Shannon + Chris - A Wedding at the Viansa Winery in Sonoma

Shannon and Chris traveled all the way from Texas to the Viansa Winery to be with closest friends and family. Everything was pitch perfect. The wedding was elegant and spirited, a classic. Also great to shoot with the fabulous photographers Meher + Marcel again. I just got an email from Shannon, and here is what they think about their wedding film:

Hello Martin,

We received the DVD and sat down tonight with a glass of wine and watch the film.....we are so very happy!  You did an amazing job capturing Chris and I as well as all of our friends and family.  We love it so much that we plan to watch it every wedding anniversary......after the 100 more viewing with our family and friends:)

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,

Shannon and Chris

 

 

 

Sita + Kartik - A Wedding at the Palmdale Estates

Talk about an impressive family and friends photograph.  That pretty much set the tone for the whole day.  I couldn't turn my camera in any direction without landing on a smiling face, particularly those of the beaming bride and groom, Sita and Kartik. This wedding was rich with tradition. It took place on gorgeous day at the Palmdale Estates.  And there was plenty of love to go around.
