Paradise Ridge Winery Wedding Photography

Nick and Joanna exchanged vows on August 20, 2011 at Paradise Ridge Winery. This was my first time photographing at this venue so I arrived an hour early to scout out photo locations. They have a beautiful property with a variety of locations to photograph. I'm in love with the old oak on their front entry way. It has perfect filtered light!
Jennifer Low my second shooter for this wedding took two awesome ring shots! So they are both in this post.
There is another great oak tree on the way up the drive in an overflow parking area. It's a little more private so we drove the bride and groom down after they did their first look.
Here is that second ring shot. Nick and Joanna had these stones with cute sayings in their center pieces and around the head table. Really a neat idea!
Nick and Joanna were referred to me by previous clients Mel and Alisa. Thanks you two! It is always nice to know more than the bride and groom.
After Nick and Joanna ate their meal we snuck out for a few images at dusk. They have a great view of some of the vineyards right outside the reception hall.
Then on to the party! They had a lively group with most everyone hitting the dance floor at some point during the evening.
