Mike + CC

Between a pandemic and the raging fires in Napa Valley, literally nothing could stop these two from having the best day ever. When I first met CC via Zoom, I knew this was going to be such a fun wedding but it far surpassed my expectations. During the toasts, everyone labeled CC as “the human exclamation point” – and she’s just that. She’s just a loud, fun human being. And if you know me, I’m just that as well so we got along wonderfully and I was SO GLAD that I got to shoot their wedding. Mike compliments CC so well and he can GET DOWN on the dance floor! Seriously, go check out the photos at the end of the blog – these people really know how to party!

With the thick smoke through the valley, I was a little nervous going into this day because I wasn’t sure how the photos were going to turn out. But as I was driving from the motel where they got ready to Chase Cellars where they were having their ceremony and reception, I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was! The smoke allowed us to see each individual mountain in such a beautiful way and it made for stunning photos. The sun even came out for us later and we got some gorgeous sunset photos!

Chase Cellars is such a beautiful venue and the vendors did an incredible with the floral and table decor. It was fun and elegant and it really couldn’t have been any more perfect. Shoutout to all of the vendors who helped make Mike and CC’s day so dang beautiful!
