Eric&Abby were married on a beautiful Fall day at Trentadue Winery wedding venue just outside of Healdsburg California.

This venue is absolutely breathtaking! It provides a diverse variety of portrait locations including amazing rows of vines, tall woodsy Redwoods that line the property, to a full ivy wall. Wedding ceremonies take place on the grassy field facing the beautiful rolling Napa hills and it is completely shaded by the tall redwoods so guests stay cool. Right next to the gorgeous cocktail hour area, is the indoor reception ballroom. This ballroom has big windows for natural light and clean white walls that are perfect for indoor flash photography for when it gets dark. That's a photographers dream! Eric&Abby are big wine and food enthusiasts and enjoy being wine club members in the Santa Rosa Healdsburg area. They also love the outdoors and hiking so Trentadue Winery was a perfect fit for their intimate wedding.

Eric&Abby rented the entire Calderwood Inn for their friends to stay at over the weekend so we opted to take their first look photos there. The rooms were spacious and filled with great natural light for indoor photos. After finishing up their portraits, guests began to arrive and soon were asked to take their seats on the lawn facing the mountains. Instead of having a bridal party, Eric&Abby opted to have very close friends marry them. The officiants were also married and have been a relationship Eric&Abby have looked up to over the years. Their ceremony was heartfelt and brought so much joy to everyone in attendance. We told their two friends they should start a wedding officiating business because they did such an amazing job together, they including personal notes about Eric&Abby and talked about what it means to commit to forever. The couple asked Eric&Abby's parents for marriage advice to share which was such a unique way of honoring their amazing parents and legacy of love they had created.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a delicious plated dinner and soon afterward dancing started. Like mentioned earlier, Eric&Abby have impeccable taste and so throughout the night, different dessert wines, cheese and other delicious desserts and appetizers were served. As their wedding favor, Eric had home roasted three varieties of coffee beans, all with tasting notes and brewing instructions for the guests, so awesome!

We had such an amazing time at this wedding and spending the day with these two. Enjoy some of our favorites below!
