Weddings and portraits in Northern California, including San Francisco, East Bay, Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley

Erin and Sean began their wedding day at the Vine Hill House in Sebastopol (where Erin prepared) and at the Flamingo Hotel in Santa Rosa (where Sean prepared).  Their nuptials were at the beautiful, newly-frescoed Saint Seraphim cathedral outside Santa Rosa.

Per tradition, Erin’s father walked her to the entrance of the cathedral, accompanied by her entourage.  Including the first prayer in the foyer, the entire ceremony was conducted in music, in the Greek Orthodox tradition.

They received family and friends in the courtyard and stopped to take in the glory of the cathedral, then moved on by cable car to the Vine Hill House in Sebastopol.

The sun set on the reception, with vineyards on the horizon and a light-hearted celebration of the new union.

And of course everything erupted into revelry by dusk.

Many thanks to Erin and Sean for including us in their fantastic day!
