Starting this post with a group of my favorite photos, then going back to getting ready photos, ceremony & reception. Can you blame me? I love these photos & the vintage architecture in downtown Calistoga. Hannah is a musician who plays the harp & her + her cape completely be-witched me, sorry Owen, lol. We had a lot of fun with her floral cape. I spent extra time making sure I captured it in all it’s beauty & finding the light when it was quite sunny out. It’s a treat for me when my couples are down to explore random spots & get creative.

I’m a huge fan of Calistoga, it’s often one of the places I want to visit when I’m in need of a rejuvenating vacay. Natural hot springs & mineral mud baths are so relaxing & detoxifying. It doesn’t hurt that there are a few wineries nearby. Including a newer wine bar that’s super cute and tasty called Tank Garage Winery. It was once a 1930’s gas station. I love their rose bottle labels with vintage photos. One is called Stars like ours & the other is Joy ride.

The photo on the right with the cute interior is Olabisi Wines.

And here we go back to these pretty gals getting ready at Brannon cottage inn.
