Saturday the 24th I had the great pleasure of photographing Ashley and Dave’s beautiful wedding and reception at the pristine grounds of Pilot Peak Winery in Penn Valley, CA located in the Sierra foothills of N. California. The weather in October can be iffy, especially for an outdoor wedding, but we were fortunate it was a perfectly beautiful, warm, mostly sunny day. Sorena, my talented asst/2nd shooter, and I arrived early to photograph Ashley getting ready for the big day. So much fun! Also had the pleasure of working with Lance Watts www.wattsfilms.com, a videographer and family friend from Portland, OR. First class guy and very professional, loved his new little 7d, but didn’t get a chance to swipe it.
Ashley was radiant, the wedding went flawless, enjoyed by tons of family and friends who were all having a fantastic time! The dj/singer was Jamal Walker of My Way Productions and his amazing blues band, Loose Change, was absolutely killer! I have to acknowledge a few more vendors as they all did such a wonderful job, beautiful flowers, by Grass Valley Florist, lovely cake by Donna the Cake Artist, and the delicious food by Cats World Foods, the wine, of course, was provided by none other than Pilots Peak Winery.
A final thank you goes to Dave, firefighter and Ashley’s hero, who recently spent weeks in southern California, fighting the terrible wildfires. We didn’t get a chance to go an engagement shoot as work came first.
Selected photos are posted below. Still processing, but ALL the photos will be available for viewing at Pictage.com in about 10 days.
