Karen and Joes's Highlight Reel of their beautiful fall Napa Wedding!!!

Here is the complete wedding of Karen and Jose. It was a beautiful fall Napa wedding. I met them through email from guess where...BRAZIL! Yes...Jose works for Budweiser so the couple moved there from their roots in the bay area. We emailed back and forth for a few weeks and then finally met in Vacaville (at Starbucks of course) when Karen came home for a few weeks to plan her beautiful wedding in Napa. We also did an awesome engagement shoot in San Fransisco. Here is the link to their shoot: http://amomentofjoyweddings.blogspot.com/2014/05/just-little-sneak-peek-of-karen-and.html
 Because the mail system in Brazil sometimes takes a month and is quite unreliable...through the technology of Dropbox, they were able to see their wedding one upload at a time! Then Karen and I went over their album and they got their flash drive when she visited this past month. So here is the highlight reel of their wedding...enJOY!

We shoot with two photographers on all weddings so we don't miss a thing!

Okay! Now for the first look...

We planned to do the majority of our pictures at the Napa wedding venue, at the Eagle Vines Golf Club in American Canyon, where they were having their ceremony.

We had all the wedding party meet us there to do pictures right before the ceremony.

Here are some of Karen and Jose's "formals"...

THIS IS MY FAVORITE PICTURE OF THEM TOGETHER!!!

Isn't this backdrop just stunning...

 The bridesmaids...

The groomsmen...

  Isn't this just breathtaking...

Here is the ceremony...

A quick toast with the wedding party...

(We did all the family formals in this spot but decided to not post them in this blog.)

We were able to take a few minutes to go to a few spots on the golf course before heading back to the reception...

After the ceremony the guest headed back to the reception at The Embassy Suites in Napa for a cocktail hour. Here are a few details...
