I am usually contacted by wedding planners, brides and grooms about my availability. This was the first time a cousin to the bride reached out. Marie use to be a wedding photographer, is awesome, organized and gracious enough to build the best wedding dream-team for her cousin (how cool is that?).

I learned that this would be another internationally flavored wedding. Megan was to mary Clément, a Frenchman, and the day was to happen in Hopland, Northern California at Brutocao Family Vineyards. This is in Mendocino County and rivals Napa and Sonoma for its beauty. Some of my favorite weddings have been shot here. We were blessed with good light,  amazing food, French dialogue, and tons of joy. I was happy to contribute.
