Late fall is my very favorite time of year everywhere in the world, but on the California coast, its most amazing. Warm days and warm nights make this time of year the most popular time for visitors and locals to make the most of the region. Later in the month, the leaves start to turn color, transitioning to the golden color that pops out in mid-late October. This day was perfect. Meet Doug & Elizabeth. They got married at Robert Hall Winery. Just a few weeks ago I posted Doug & Elizabeth’s casual portrait session we shot in Santa Barbara.

 

This time of day is one of my most favorite times. The golden light, sun flare and soft ambiance of the evening light is stunning. The smell of vines, california grass, and oak trees radiating the heat from the day makes everything about evening in a vineyard pleasant. Today was no exception

The evening reception was filled with stunning moments of joy with the family, and this shot of Elizabeth and her Grandfather is priceless. The final frame here is the patio at dusk, radiating the heat from the mid day sun until the moon and stars came out. It was a perfect night. Kramer Entertainment played a perfect selection of relaxing music for an evening on the terrace.

Wow, what a day, thank you guys for the honor of including me to capture your vineyard wedding!
