When I arrived at the Rios-Lovell Estate on the morning of Nichole and Brett’s Wedding I kept finding little nooks, crannies, and walls that reminded me of my time traveling in Italy. Everywhere there was vibrant color, beautiful plants, and the light and expansive openness that comes with having an outside ceremony. Shooting at wineries is a...
I really can’t get enough of the fact that my wife and I live smack-dab in the middle of wine country. With Santa Cruz & Monterey to the South, and Napa, Sonoma, and the Russian River to the North, their is an endless supply of fantastic wine. Very rarely do I find myself drinking wine...
