ENGAGEMENTS: JACQUELINE & MARK

A couple weeks ago I made a fun weekend trip up to Napa to hang out with/drink/meet for the first time Jacqueline and Mark, who are already some of my favorite people. Let's face it: taking pictures can be awkward. You have a guy with a couple huge cameras in your face telling you to act naturally and then make out. So to alleviate some of that awkwardness, the three of us met for the first time for a nice wine-filled lunch to act as a primer for the photo shoot, and we continued that mentality throughout the rest of the day by going to three more wineries after that. It's always fun to hit it off with a couple right off the bat 'cause it just makes the day go by that much smoother, and Jacqueline and Mark are a perfect example of that. So if it looks like they were having a good time in the pictures, they were! But maybe that had something to do with the wine.

Anyway, many thanks to Jacqueline and Mark for trusting me to be their wedding photographer. You guys are a great couple and a real blast to hang out with. Enjoy the pics...











I love the way these images came out from this set. This was the actual winery where Mark proposed, so you could definitely feel the love in the air.
