Kristina and Vanessa were married on a sunny spring day in the beautiful redwood forest north of Fort Bragg, California. The ceremony was held in the embrace of towering old-growth redwood trees, with beautiful dappled light shining in from behind the brides.
Before the wedding, the whole wedding party stayed together in the ranch house, where they practiced their dances, prepared the invitations and other special flourishes for the wedding, and generally enjoyed one another. It was a truly beautiful celebration of the union of two magnificent, loving souls, supported by a magical group of family and friends.
I felt honored to be part of their celebration, and to be able to produce a beautiful record of the occasion.
