I had the pleasure of traveling to Napa Valley, California last week to be a second shooter for my good friend and amazing photographer Diana Lott for the gorgeous wedding of Jodi and Rocky. Jodi and Rocky held their ceremony at St. Helena Catholic Church and their reception was in the wine cellar at one my favorite Napa wineries, V. Sattui. The wedding went off without a hitch and despite the cold, wet weather thanks to Carmela and her assistant Monique of In Style Weddings and Destinations.

We stayed at an amazing hotel in Yountville called Villagio which I would highly recommend for anyone taking a trip to the area. And for anyone taking a trip to the area who loves food, I would highly recommend Bouchon, Bistro Jeanty (get the tomato soup!), Bouchon Bakery, and Hurley's in Yountville, Go Fish in St. Helena, and the Girl in the Fig and General's Daughter in Sonoma!

It is always so great to get to be a second shooter to renew my creativity and energy, and I'm looking forward to the coming wedding season, which for me starts in mid February!
