Staying over at the Coppola Vineyard...

Last weekend Michael and I are were honored to shoot the wedding of Chris & Amanda Neil at the Coppola Family Vineyard. It was a fun experience because Chris & Amanda had us stay on the property in one the guest houses. The Coppola Family owns a beautiful vineyard with a spectacular Victorian Mansion in Rutherford, CA - and since Chris is a family member they generously offered for him and Amanda to get married on the property. 

The day was absolutely beautiful with clear blue skies and the relaxing atmosphere of the beautiful vineyard permeated all around. As we drove up to the vineyard we saw the view of the mansion and then proceeded down the lane to our accommodations, know as the "Cow Barn." The Cow Barn is essential a big white house and as we went through the front door and up the stairs we realized that no only were we staying on the Coppola property but were also staying with all of Chris & Amanda's family! It was like being on a family reunion - except with a different family. Everyone was extremely welcoming and we enjoyed being submerged in this wonderful family event. 

The wedding was beautiful and serene. The party was classy and low key. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful event.
