After getting ready in the separate bride and groom suites Steve and Jody met near the vineyard for their "first look". Here Steve sneaks a sip from the flask just before Jody appears. Jody's mermaid dress was super sexy with its plunging neckline and streamline fit. Steve took some long looks as Jody twirled around to show off the dress. After their few moments together we started on their pictures in the vineyard and some family images.
The ceremony took place on Wente's large lawn area which was decorated with simple but gorgeous hanging floral arrangements and their chuppah. As they walked away as husband and wife it made for one of my favorite images of the day.
After the ceremony darkness came upon us more rapidly than we had hoped. So we moved as fast as possible to capture the remaining family and bridal party images. Toward the end of the session we were using artificial lighting sources which made for some fun shadows.
At the cocktail hour they had set out their guest book which has places for the guests image to be inserted later. Also below, the guys showed off for the camera as they held the girls flowers and played with the brides veil.
Everyone loved the candy banquet and I found it the perfect spot to shoot the rings!
The reception was full of entertainment with the Hora, cake cutting and lots of dancing.
Besides the dancing; one of my favorite parts of the evening was taking Steve and Jody out for the night shots!
Thanks to Laena Brandenburg for second shooting.
