The day had finally come for Karen and Clark. And what a day it was. Decked out in her Vera Wang gown, Karen wandered over to Eagle Rock Reservation to meet her groom...only to discover that these two car-lovers didn't just luck out on the weather. During our photoshoot in the park, a row of shiny BMWs pulled up by the curb.  The two of them shrieked as they soon discovered it was a BMW 1 series gathering happening right before their eyes! Clark immediately pulled up HIS Beemer convertible to the front of the row, joining the 1addicts on this perfect day. What a great way to make the happy couple smile for the rest of the evening!

Before you scroll down, catch your breath. Because Susan and Erich's wedding will take your breath away. In front of the most beautiful view of Napa Valley at the Auberge du Soleil, Susan and Erich said their vows before close family and friends, just as the morning clouds parted for the sun. Everybody would agree it was magical. And also a tear fest. We loved it. The special day ended with a casual barbecue with the wedding guests at the bride and groom's villa. Did I mention, this villa is a MANSION at the top of a MOUNTAIN? Although the drive up nearly made us wet our pants, the view from up there left us speechless...and then the two of them rocked (ROCKED) our portrait session. You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing your amazing wedding with us, and for flying us out to Napa Valley for a wonderful weekend!
