(words by erin)
As with most of our couples, we had never met Lena and Jeff prior to their wedding weekend. But upon meeting them at their rehearsal dinner, we found ourselves immediately captivated by their radiance and warmth. They made us feel like we had all been friends for years.
For their wedding day, Lena and Jeff chose one of the most spectacular properties we’ve ever seen in wine country – Atwood Ranch in Glen Ellen. It felt like a dream exploring the sun-drenched pastures, and dancing the night away inside the barn that had been superbly transformed into a shabby-chic ballroom of vintage quirks and rustic elegance.
This wedding was also special to us because it was the first time we got to work side by side with my brother Michael, who makes wedding films. He was there working as an extra camera for local filmmaker James Burkart. Can’t wait to see the moving images from this wedding!
