Kelly and I first met at a coffee shop in San Francisco. Right away I was intrigued by her charm, she has a warm personality and very much a southern belle way about her. From the way she described the visions of her wedding, I knew it was going to be beautiful and sweet. I was not disappointed! The day of her and Daniel’s wedding threatened overcast, rainy skies.. I was quite bummed, as the couple and their guests flew in from DC to have a special week of festivities in the gorgeous Napa Valley. It couldn’t rain! Lucky for us, the skies opened up right as everyone exited the church after the ceremony (does it get any better than that?) and the sun shined throughout the rest of the day. California lived up to its standards :)
Kelly + Daniel have an amazing, endearing love for one another.. and it really was an honor to photograph it. Pair that with the incredible designs of planner Jacin of Lovely Little Details and this is sure to be a wedding I will never forget.

Some of my favorites..
If you know me, you know I just adore peonies. ADORE. Because Kelly has experience in wedding florals, she made her own bouquet.. Love it!
This swing was my favorite, favorite thing about the estate. I wish there were one at every wedding! It was perfect.
Such a stunning bride.
