Photos from Chris and Danielle’s Gorgeous Wedding at Garden Valley Ranch

A beautiful couple, at a beautiful venue, set with beautiful details, on a beautiful summer day, ending with a sky full of beautiful sky lanterns makes for a gorgeous wedding for Chris and Danielle at Garden Valley Ranch in Petaluma.

I was so privileged to be a part of Chris and Danielle’s special day!  What a fun wedding full of love, laughter, friendship, family and a heavy dose of tattoos and motorcycles!  I have to admit, I had a bit of Harley envy!  🙂

I was invited by Jennifer Bagwell Photography to help photograph this gorgeous wedding! These are the moments I was able to photograph from their wedding day.  Enjoy!

It was great to hang with a great group of guys while they got ready for the big day!  Before they got ready they all hung out on the couch watching swimming from the summer Olympics, then headed outside to polish up Chris’ Harley for his grand entrance to the wedding site!

I took this shot of the groom on a highway in Petaluma on his way to his Garden Valley Ranch wedding from the passenger seat of my car!  One of the groomsmen drove while I shot out the window!

Chris lost a very good friend of his, so Danielle created for him a very special boutonniere for him with a locket of he and his friend on it.  This was Chris’ reaction to seeing it.  It was a very emotional moment.

The roses were in full bloom on the grounds of the Garden Valley Ranch, so Danielle and Chris’ ceremony was extra beautiful!  Danielle lit up with joy and anticipation as she made the long walk amongst the roses on her way to her the ceremony!

Lots of sun, gorgeous flowers and a beautiful couple in love make for amazing photos!  It’s moments like these that make my job so rewarding!

Add sun flare on a gorgeous summer day, a Harley Davidson Motorcycle, and a quiet tender moment, and you have a recipe for beauty.

Danielle’s dress was stunning!  She looked so amazing up against this vivid red barn door!

Beautiful flowers, local wine and champagne, wonderful food, and a bottle of Limon Chello as a gift for each guest!

Cake!  Photo Booth!  Dancing! Let the party begin!

Danielle, Chris and their guests ended a beautiful evening by lighting and releasing sky lanterns!  So beautiful!
