Annie + Keith: Wedding in St. Helena with Julie Cheshire

Wedding

I still can’t get over last weekend’s wedding between Annie & Keith. I spent the day in wine country with Julie of Julie Cheshire Photography photographing this absolutely adorable couple.


We started the day at Harvest Inn in St. Helena where the guys and the girls were getting ready. Harvest Inn is absolutely beautiful and reminiscent of some hidden New England treasure with its brick buildings and little shaded paths everywhere.

I absolutely loved Annie’s flowers. The girls had bright yellow calla lilies with a humble green leaf wrap around the stems. Annie’s bouquet was made of green-tipped white callas with a trio of leaf wraps down the stems. I really loved the simplicity.


Her dress fit her like a glove. It was ivory chiffon with white lace appliqués all over it. The color difference really came out when she was outside in natural light. It looked perfect on her.



Oh, and the guys’ ensembles was so great. They all wore khaki Banana Republic suits, white shirts, and brown Converse chucks given to them as a surprise the night before by Keith. They looked so good!


Though Keith was quite nervous, the ceremony at Tra Vigne went off without a hitch. It was presided over by a family friend which made it all the more personal.





I had never been to a wedding at Tra Vigne before but loved the feel of it all. It’s a restaurant that had given the outdoor patio space to Annie and Keith. There were twinkling lights in the trees and white daisies, yellow rose petals, and yellow calla lilies everywhere.



It was such a beautiful wedding and Annie and Keith were nothing short of sweet and cute. They danced their first dance together to “Losing You” by John Butler Trio.

It was such a great day! Thanks, guys!

There are things in this life I
would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I cannot live without
and you know there’s no doubt that
All I mind’s losing you.
John Butler Trio “Losing You”

I don’t know what you were doing for Independence Day but I was at a red, white, and blue wedding with the lovely Stacy and Joe. Sure, it was a bit warm, but they looked fantastic! There will be so many more pictures of these two very soon (after all, this was only their first of two weddings)!

[the value of] A Second Photographer
You read in the wedding magazines and on blogs that you should ask your photographer if they offer a second shooter. But why? Aren't you hiring a professional already? Do you really need two photographers? The answer is 'possibly' and I'll explain why as it relates to LDP. Quite simply, two lenses are better than one. I'm very snap happy. I get really into weddings and my trigger gets quite the workout on wedding days. But there is only one of me and I can't possibly be in two places at once. Here are some prime examples… 1) The getting ready pictures. I'm usually with the girls. These are some of my favorite pictures of the day – the pr ...
