Ashley and Gary’s wedding was sort of a full-circle moment for us. Charles Krug Winery was the first place we stopped after Dusty asked me to marry him. It was in their parking lot where we started making all the phone calls to tell everyone we were engaged. Ever since then we have wanted to get the chance to shoot a wedding there, and we were really happy that Ashley and Gary gave us that opportunity!
We started off the day at the cutest little house near Calistoga where Ashley, Gary, and their families were getting ready. We are total suckers for detail shots with grapes and vines, so the first thing we did when we got there was start dragging tables, chairs, and benches out of the house to use in our shots.
You would not believe the furniture that we can fit in the back of our car. This brown couch went so well with the style of Ashley’s dress! This was the first time we had taken this chair anywhere, and we discovered that it’s so old that it’s actually stuffed with hay!
Instead of the usual sand ceremony, Ashley and Gary chose to put together a box of wines for them to open on specific anniversaries.
The inside of Krug’s carriage house is gorgeous!
This is what happens when you introduce fuzzy, pink hats and hula hoops into a reception!
We seriously love it when our couples bring hilarious stuff to wear at the reception (or when the guests decide to raid the photo booth).
