It’s always exciting to see what will greet you when you photograph a backyard wedding ceremony.

Bridal portrait in front of old building giving this photo that rustic look.

As this wedding was taking place in the Napa Valley, I was hoping there might be some vineyards. My expectations were more than exceeded when I arrived to see the wedding ceremony would take place on a lawn with vineyards so close you could touch them. As the property was a working vineyard, there were interesting building that had a personality to them. This image of the bride was created in front of a building that hadn’t seen paint in quite a few years, but that lack of paint gave it a rustic feel.
