Love takes flight | Thomas Fogarty Winery | Rosewood Hotel
From high above, Thomas Fogarty Winery in Woodside, CA looks like an enchanted place nestled in a dreamy landscape. Eddie has always dreamed of becoming a pilot, so it’s only logical that his wedding day would reflect his vision of flight, from paper airplane décor to customized cuff links to the light-blue color of the bridesmaids’ dresses, reminiscent of a clear summer sky. “In-flight” menus and passport props made for entertaining pictures. Eddie and Joanna said their vows at Stanford Memorial Church and booked the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel in Menlo Park, but on their special day, they lived in a fantasy world with their heads in the clouds. With their hearts as light as air, surrounded by friends and family, they bound themselves together in matrimony. Hand-in-hand, they walked down a path lined by loved ones waving sparkler sticks, two planes on a runway with guiding lights to pave the way home. Humans are creatures bound to the earth; we do not come with feathered wings to lift our weighty bodies to the clouds, nor can we feel the carefree buoyancy of winds beneath us. Two things can bring us closer to the heavens—one being the man-made invention of planes; the second, a transcendent force, pure and intangible, when our hearts are lucky enough to be touched by true love.

Wedding Cinema - Santa Cruz Mountains Vineyard | Laura & Stroy
A chance introduction by friends brought Laura and Stroy together. Stroy knew from the first day that he wanted to marry Laura. She thought it was weird and a red flag! But by the second or third day, she knew she had to have him too. Laura, I knew I had to have Stroy too, but for a different reason. After photographing his beautiful work for his construction website, I knew I wanted to hire Stroy to build the addition to my home/studio because of his attention to detail. It was a compliment likewise when the couple only considered my team for their wedding photography and cinematography needs, especially knowing what a perfectionist Stroy is. We enjoyed spending the day shooting their wedding in Nicholson Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Aptos, California. It was a beautiful Saturday spent under blue skies, surrounded by sunflowers, with a wonderful couple in love.
