Our first big wedding of 2008 was the first weekend of January for Melinda and Jerry in Yountville.

The guys!


Their first meeting. When we arrange pre-ceremony meetings for the bride and groom we always like to find a private area where they can just be themselves so that we can photograph the true interaction between the two of them without anyone interfering.






The Bridal Party.




A few pre-ceremony portraits of the bride and groom. Here they are shown in the Napa Valley vineyards.




I was surprised to find this pretty pink rose just beginning to bud on a winter January day.


Their ceremony was held at a church in Yountville.




The recessional.


The reception was at the Napa Valley Museum in Yountville.












Each layer of their four-tier wedding cake was a different flavor.


End of the evening romantic shots.




Congratulations, that was fun!
