Nicholson Ranch – Sonoma Valley

Can’t reveal my B&G on this one, but wanted to share some pretty photos of the setting. Nicholson Ranch is “nestled in the southern foothills of the Sonoma Valley,” according to its website, and is a gorgeous setting for intimate weddings. I loved the Terracotta  walls and the Italian style. So fitting with the vineyard and California hillsides! My bride even made the sweetest homemade jam as a guest favor. So sweet!

Vendors involved in this wedding included:

Catering: The Girl and The Fig

Cake: Scandia Bakery

Floral Design: Viola Floral Design

Day of Coordination: A Noble Affair

Venue: Nicholson Ranch

Marin Headlands for the Arts – Didi and Tim

As always, it’s wonderful to photograph weddings at Marin Headlands Center for the Arts. It’s such an original location and even on a dark stormy day offers wonderful photo opps. I just loved this late fall wedding with warm touches of candles and heart-warming food. Svenja of Chestnut and Vine went over-the-top with the flowers and Katie Powers and crew turned out yet another perfect feast of locally grown and organic food. I had the special treat of seeing Rebecca (the site manager) who acted as day-of coordinator too! Didi and Tim and families also couldn’t have been nicer and all had a fabulous time!
