BRIANA & BRANDON – 25th October

Photographer – Winter Tree Studios

Briana and Brandon started dreaming of their vineyard wedding when Briana’s family purchased a family vineyard. When the couple saw the space, they could then see themselves saying “I do” in the picturesque views of Sonoma County’s wine country. The only problem was that this venue was nowhere near equipped for a wedding!

When Briana and Brandon hired me, they insisted that they drive me to the venue as there are “no real roads” to get us to the space. I must admit, I worried about what I might be getting myself into. But when we got to the venue, the breathtaking views made me so excited and happy to start finding ways to make this work. They wanted me to help them design and literally create a wedding venue from scratch. With a dream team of very creative and capable hands, Briana and Brandon’s wedding turned out almost as beautiful as they are. After months of planning and brainstorming meetings, creating roads large enough for shuttles to drive guests on, leveling grounds for ceremony and reception spaces, laying down concrete for guests to step on and not dirty their shoes, bringing in lighting, restrooms and pest control for mosquitoes and bees and repurposing tree stumps for aisle flower holders, we came up with this blissfully perfect wedding day! A day that was filled with love, gorgeous views, a live mariachi band and tons of smiles!
